40yrs of trying and still can’t step up to a Cirrus, keep working!

The spacers are to address sagging, there was a really good article Maxwell wrote about Mooney’s that I can’t find. Maybe you need 10 spacers, maybe you need none, somebody will come along with the actual math as to how you figure it out.

The only way to make single stage look great after it slips is to grind it down and buff it back. At some point you run out of stuff to buff back.

$2 at THD, this dude is a total idiot…

Anyone hear from Jose lately? I miss him and his piss tube.

Never flown a Toga but got a fair amount of 260/300 time. Let me say never has ever in the history of man has 40HP mattered so much. I do though like a Cherokee 6 and it’s twin brother the Seneca.

Has this plane crashed yet?

I am speaking specifically to: RAJAY (TALCO Aviation) has received approval for an AMOC (Alternate Method of Compliance) for AD 81-19-04. AD 81-19-04 required the replacement of all air, oil and fuel hoses modified by RAJAY STCs to be replaced every 5 years regardless of condition. The AMOC now allows a "Replace On Condition" so long as you follow the referenced TALCO Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and Service Letter 30 when using the RAJAY PMA Hoses!

Buy the hoses from RayJay directly and it turns from a 5yr replacement to replace upon inspection.

Can you let me know where you are parking and what kind of beer you have? I really don’t like to walk far so hope you offer pick up & drop off service.

I have been going to PCB for years and we used to go into 54J. It is a nice airport, nice people, good mechanic (at least when I was last there). These days I just go to KECP because I don’t own a plane to drive an hour and their charges aren’t crazy. I still though land at KMTH because F the charges at KEYW.

The best is when you climb through rain with your turbo, get to FL210, and upon landing finding your door is frozen shut and you need to climb out the baggage door. Nothing beats a good door seal….

There is no history of rectal cancer on my father’s side (7 aunts/uncles) nor on my mother’s side (11 great aunts/uncles). I have almost 200 living relatives third cousin to great/aunt-uncle. I have a female first cousin who had some pre-cancerous polyps removed, otherwise octogenarians. These days rectal cancer is the cancer flavor, while in years past it was more did you have family history. My intent isn’t to debate it is just to say I had no history and never a health issue. In 2022(52yrs old) I was really tired. I ascribed that to traveling 150+ days a year. Then I had some interesting digestive issues in August. By the time I finally got myself scoped in early November it was stage 4. I sat next to a fair amount of people getting chemo bullshitting and eating Cheezits. A few of them died. You do you, I am not a Doctor but I am a survivor. I have seen people who look better than me at the start melt away in the chair next to me taking chemo and die. If this message saves one person, makes me happy.

I appreciate your mechanical skills, your hard earned ratings, years of experience wrenching, up blocks/down blocks, etc. One day I hope you view health professionals the same way I view your skills/resume and trust their years of teaching, licensing, and experience to keep you and your family safe. Had I been as diligent in my own health as my Mooney’s health, life would be better. All the best David.

Maybe this picture will be an effective way to encourage people that drinking a little laxative is better. Seriously awful, you probably fly a Piper….

How do we get true mechanical care and skill from our AP/AI community? Are you a quack? Do your customers (me being one) think you are a quack? Or is it maybe we recognize and respect you might be smarter with a wrench than we are and seek your advice? My only advice is don’t let a great skill set in one profession to make you believe you are an expert in another. My situation would have entirely been prevented with colonoscopy at 40/45/50 as recommended. Instead I just went with the ain’t nothing wrong why bother and 52/53 were rough years. Cannot stress enough that Michael Jackson OD’ed on propofol for a reason. It is the best part of a colonoscopy.

The vinegar bottle powder (forget what it is called) + water shake/drink was great. Miralax + Gatorade = vomit comet. Similar to LOO/ROP your experience may vary.

I am based on ctDNA testing clear from Stage IV (no family history) for six months (8 months after my third surgery, a lot of chemo, and radiation that fried at the time my still working asshole. Try taking a shit when your asshole has burns). As pointed out by others, when Cologuard shows anything you are off to the races. My symptoms turned up three months prior to my diagnosis You make great gear blocks, but my guess is you aren’t as versed in medical science. Had I been more diligent in getting a colonoscopy, well I wouldn’t be shitting in a bag. You do you, all I can say is Propofol is great and bless the basic med. Would encourage colonoscopies.

The valve has nothing to do with wall corrosion, wall pitting, nor piston pin scuffing. Did your AI suggest valve lapping as a solution to these 3 problems?

Paint splatter isn’t going to get into the plastic. You can pick paint splatter off with your finger nails. Post a picture of what you have going on, would help to provide advice.

7yr old post but would be interesting to see a picture from OP. I have used my RayJay for 15yrs (it was installed 1971) with no issues and have nothing layered on the turbo in terms of a heat shield or tape. My guess would be improper installation or incorrect parts versus the need to use some sort of heat shield.

Why?

It does make a difference. My audio panel goes to 11.

I would only add that it would be useful to post +/- ISA versus ambient. We go through these posts every summer when here in Atlanta as example it was +15C ISA today, what would one expect? I flew back from MN yesterday at 9000 and got better cooling at 3500 on leg 2. It’s hot and humid. To @AndreiC if #2 is substantially different then usual (see similar post by @Shadrach) then reason for concern. If the spread is the same and they are all hotter than normal, welcome to summer.
