Quote: aerobat95 I am getting stuff for my panel upgrade and was wondering which I should get?

How many hours were quoted for installation, the price seems high.

2 NAV/COM with G/S inclusive of a WAAS GPS is what I would look for. It is hard to beat a dual G430 with one or both with WAAS.

Hi Craig yes it is and haven't noticed any issues with it in the year I have had the plane (the prop was part of the purchase arrangement). I can't comment though on before/after performance.

New starter fixed the starter problem and the boost loss was related to the hose going from the air filter to the airbox that the turbo also feeds into. Hose was on but the clamp was not tightened at all which we didn't notice till we dropped the bottom cowling. Good to have a working airplane again!

Since I got my M20F back from annual and upgrades it will only develop 3-4 inches on the Ray Jay which worked great on the trip down. We hooked a vacuum up to the exhaust today and the only leak I could find was coming from The EGT probe on the #4 cylinder which was installed along with an EI MVP-50. It wasn't a major leak but does anyone know from experience if this could cause that much loss of boost? We are having issues with the new Skytec starter (fairly certain at this point it is a dude) so couldn't see if that fixed the problem. Goes into the local MSC on Monday but interested in opinions.

You have a W&B sheet in airplane that says X, you weigh the airplane and it says X+200. Why people argue that because the slip of paper says X they are legal/safe is beyond me. The paper doesn't matter, only the scale weight does.

Quote: M20Kid The one thing I like with Main Turbo Recommend they did the turbo normalizer on my M20F and did work on a C320 I fly as well.

Personally I would look at the logbooks and see how the time was generated and the average hours per year. For that amount of time more than likely the aircraft was either used commercially (I saw a M20J with @10,000 hrs that flew checks and put almost all that time on in eight years) or through a flight school. As others have noted doesn't neccessarily mean it is a bad airplane but you can learn a lot by reviewing the logs and getting a good pre-buy from an experienced Mooney mechanic. This doesn't imply this plane is bad, just that you should do your research; good luck!

Have a 67 M20F with stock windshield and I get in my opinion really good air flow from the roof vent. This is one of the cooler airplanes I have flown in. The under the panel vents though leave a lot to be desired (the only cooling I get is from the roof top vent).

What are direct replacment LED options for 1967 M20F Landing Light (i.e. just replace bulb as per normal and make a pilot log book entry) if any and your opinions on them. Thanks!

Call and talk to Dave at All American Aircraft (http://www.allamericanaircraft.com/default.htm).

It is in the hole the bar goes into you can stick your finger in the hole when the gear is up (bar on the floor) and cycle the light red to green. It is possible to get a green light and not have the bar locked in. I always forcefully pull down a couple of times to ensure the bar and thus the gear is locked, more then once it has popped back out.

Airplanes with similar capability to F/J models
M20F replied to sreid's topic in General Mooney Talk
Hi Steve - I saw your plane when I dropped mine off, think the shop in question will do you right. -
+1 for All American Aircraft bought my M20F there and couldn't have been happier with the deal. Two good guys that know Mooney's and will work with you.

How come Mooney didn't make twin engine planes?
M20F replied to mrjones30's topic in General Mooney Talk
Quote: WardHolbrook A properly flown twin operated by a proficient pilot within its limitations is inherently safer than a single; but that's the kicker - most aren't. I was going to post something to this effect but Ward beat me to it and couldn't agree more. -
Vote for All American as well they take a lot of guess work out of the process by having clean airplanes and they did the annual + all airworthy sqauwks and some other stuff as part of the deal. Best way to go in my opinion as opposed to dealing with private owners.
