M20F

I own a F and those 3 mods equate to me selling my F and buying a J, you would be better served going that route.

I just updated mine because I wanted to see if they had the RayJay 337 now. I ordered it printed I want to say for $10 which included postage and 1.5” of paper. Stuck it in a binder. Love me a PDF but a nice paper binder for $10 out at the hanger is great. I would have got the CD as well but oddly enough have nothing that can read it.

If they do find a 337 it still needs to be filed with OKC. Their 337 is the only one that really matters. In either case it is just filing the form out and sending it, I wouldn’t make it a deal breaker.

This chart @Rick Junkin posted makes a very clear point. Unless you get on O2 you are not going to be faster than an Ovation. Going high in my opinion requires at least a 2hr leg. It also depends on winds which often are much more extreme at altitude (favorable and unfavorable). The turbo mafia here will deny this but a turbo makes it pretty easy to toast your engine if you are not paying attention and has additional annual and incidental expenses. For example lose a valve you are doing the cylinder and the turbo. Fly out west, take a lot of long trips, cross a lot of mountains, like O2, etc. then it might make sense. NA Ovation though is probably the better choice. PS Make sure your passengers are into O2. My girl won’t do it, doesn’t like it, and ain’t gonna be convinced otherwise.

The advantage of a colonoscopy is that they can remove pre-cancerous polyps during the procedure.

The one STC is orphaned, your only option is to buy an F with one. If you are looking to repair existing, call Main Turbo.

Had the same issue. Except installed in 1971. Everyone missed it (including Maxwell on pre-buy annual) for decades. Long story how it was uncovered but as mentioned above my AI just submitted it and all is good. I did think perhaps 337’s weren’t required but poking around on the internet that form has been around pre-1970. My guess is it got mailed in to OKC and it just got lost.

I wander from tent to tent drinking other people’s beer.

Pickle it if you are concerned.

I admit nothing!

I use this container for my barley water.

Flying basic med versus third class today, might want to get that finger and a colonoscopy; just saying…..

I don’t know how you plan to fill a hole in a cut panel, but you do you.

His point wasn’t where you put the 900 it is you are going to have a big hole when you pull out all the legacy gauges you no longer need.

You all have girly hands.

I flew 20yrs with no autopilot. I now have 15yrs with one. I would go autopilot 150% if you do any IFR or cross country. I also have a MVP-50. Engine monitor value is wildly over stated and the vast majority of planes fly on original and often broken gauges just fine.

Spin off everything, keep the name, design a profitable airframe, profit. Legacy Mooney is never going to be profitable. While that is what everyone wants from a financial perspective, no chance.

Oh boy, six pages for sure.

Yes, as a 35yr EXP would have to say the cabin crew took a huge dive.

I spent 18 months and 200-300hrs being a Mooney road warrior. I enjoyed parts, I am happily though back to EXP on AA. I just enjoyed a wonderful flight on AS back to ATL from SFO (thanks STF/TFL for diner). During this flight I consumed enough free booze to pay for two oil changes in the Mooney (* CamGuard excluded, other limitations and conditions may apply, any post by M20F is not to be considered sane nor legally binding). Their champagne was weaker in quality than what I serve on the Mooney, but I could drink it and I didn’t have to hold my fist over the heater outlet to warm the nut medley.

Of course it is. I use Maxwell every couple of years and use my local guy which we have for decades. They both like to point out how the other guy missed something, they both are right. I win because of their efforts. They both are very good. New eyes will always find something that old eyes didn’t. Generally the longer you care for a plane the less you find, every so often though a WTF still pops up.

This is the answer, where I got mine, absolute class act.

My cylinder temps parallel yours. How hot is OAT? I am solo with 50 gallons and I have to climb at 130+ to keep #2 around 375-380 down here in ATL these days KBWI looks hotter than here?

Anyone got reports on FBO’s, charges, etc,?

If only I had paid more than taxes for them. Thanks work!
