    What's the Mooneyspace, Black Friday, Friends and Family price for a 4110-200-4?
  2. LANCECASPER
    If there hear from a multitude of people, that's hard to ignore.

    First document - installation manual make sure you use Aeroshell 22 and never a spray lubricant
  4. LANCECASPER
    Same here. I’ve put them on a few Mooneys and they’ve never come loose.

    When people follow the instructions for continued airworthiness on the speed brakes they work well for many years. Page 25 of the first document (Installation Manual) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IeF6PBfw18xh6V-K8m-GDY9TWx6nMldJ

    Mooney owners who have been waiting for the Bendix King AeroCruze 100 (TruTrak) should all go to https://www.thestcgroupllc.com/pages/stc-autopilot-interest-list and express their interest in that product for their Mooney. I've flown in a friend's Piper with a Trio and it's a great autopilot at a reasonable price.

    On a Lycoming TIO-540-AF1B, I would get a drip on the quick drain and couldn't remove the quick drain. I flew it over to Dugosh and they couldn't wrench it off either, so they heated it up and replaced it. It never dipped agin as long as I owned it. I'm glad they did it and not me.

    Here's a picture of what would have come with your M20M when it was new: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jvhp84b7xhi3m9f2eb25r/jack-point-M20M.jpeg?rlkey=aenndms7kafbhbgwo30wjcp5i&dl=0

    No, Lycoming had distributed the booklet several years previous to this showing that these engines should be operated at 1650 or below. (The 1750 was discouraged very early in the TLS history, but to this day it's still in the POH) They explained that the oil going through both "hot sections", the exhaust valve guide area and the turbo area, degraded the viscocity much more quickly than on other Lycoming engines. The oil temp probe measures it at a much cooler point than what the oil actually sees while cooling the valve guides and the turbo.

    There's a light bulb under the cover. A GE-327 if it's a 28v airplane, https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/gereplacement_11-04015.php?clickkey=17178 or a GE-330 if it's a 14v airplane. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/11-01950.php

    It's a good idea to keep them in the airplane. If you have problems when you are away from home and the airplane needs to be on jacks you'll need them. It was part of Mooney's "Fly-Away Kit" with every airplane they sold.

    The KAA-15 generates the signal sent to the sonalert. There's a potentiometer on the KAA-15 that determines the strength of the signal sent, and raises or lowers the volume accordingly.

    Years ago at a MAPA convention in an M20M seminar, the Lycoming rep told about the tests they had done and on the Bravo engine with the heat that it's subjected to, they saw the viscosity drop significantly after 25 hours. Years later they came out with the Service Bulletin.
  14. LANCECASPER
    On this Lycoming Service Bulletin from 2017, on page two, it calls out specifically 25 hour oil changes for the TIO-540-AF1A and AF1B engine (the one used in the Bravo). All others with oil filter are 50 hour oil changes. https://www.lycoming.com/sites/default/files/attachments/SB480F%20Oil%20ServicingMetallic%20Solids%20Identification%20After%20Oil%20Servicing%20and%20Associated%20Corrective%20Action.pdf

    I've heard recently that they stopped selling the STC on used S-Tec autopilots.
  16. LANCECASPER
    I understand that completely, but the previous post mentioned that the STC allowed for some modification. Thanks for the response though.
  17. LANCECASPER
    The feathering was definitely for the Rocket, not for the Acclaim or Ovation or Bravo, etc.
  18. LANCECASPER
    @Jake@BevanAviation is this something that your shop would ever consider doing?
  19. LANCECASPER
    Hmm . . . the Acclaim serial numbers have a designation of 31-xxxx, and this is # 3, and it's a TN. It wouldn't happen to be N313TN?
  20. LANCECASPER
    You'll want to ping @N177MC so he gets the message
  21. LANCECASPER
    Not even close on the Mooney
  22. LANCECASPER
    Depending on how much you value your time and your back you might want to spend the extra on the LED and not ever have to do it again.
  23. LANCECASPER
    @Pmaxwell would know if and how it can be done.
  24. LANCECASPER
    That's the reason I mounted a Dynon D3 Portable on my compass post. It has GPS groundspeed, attitude, GPS altitude and synthetic vision. I think I'd stand a better chance transitioning to something EFIS-like close-up rather than a parallax view of the three analog instruments way off to my right. I also have an Aera 760 on my yoke and a GDL52 on the glareshield to cover weather and NAV, just in case. I wish there was enough room in the center to put one GI-275.

    The G1000 Bonanzas & Barons have it on the far right also.
