Well aware. It's more the wait to get them rather than the price even though its still a tough pill to swallow. Is there a specific model Mooney that uses these? Based on the Barry fitment list it doesn't appear so? I have a Giles 202 aerobatic airplane that uses them and my searching on the net led me here to this post.

Any chance you still have these mounts and would still sell them?

I can't really see that happenening. I was able to send them a GX55 for overhaul a year ago and that thing is ancient!

Yup. My plan is to just take the KLN 94 and the one king com out, move the audio panel to where the com radio is now and install a 430. Nate

Thanks guys, I'm looking this plane at the moment. Definately a nice panel, fit and finish of the glare sheild needs a rework though. We'll see what happens! Nate

This is on a '67 F model. It is composit. Was this a one off or was there a company making these at one point? Possibly out of a later model mooney? Nate

I don't have a maint. manual available to me just yet. (nor an airplane yet either, working on it) If grabbing the tail from the bottom of the rudder and lifting up (not hard), how much play is acceptable in the trim system if any at all? thanks, Nate

Quote: JimR If I am not mistaken it is a Southwest Texas Aviation, Inc. 201 windshield conversion. Not a true OEM 201 windshield. The difference being the 201 cowl deck assembly, which it lacks. Makes for a little less "clean" installation, in my opinion, but it preserves at least some of the rear avionics access of the original vintage Mooney windshield installation. Jim

Ok thanks guys, i dunno why but at some angles it doesn't look like it to me, thats why I figured I would just get a definative answer here, and leave me out of it. Nate

This is just the one piece replacement and not the 201 windsheild mod correct? Nate

I hold an A&P certificate. Nate

I've never flown a plane where the no prime, full throttle, closed mixture method didn't work. This was the only way the notoriously hard hot starting IO-320's on my twin comanche would start. Be quick to throw the mixture in and the throttle out confidently and all will seem like a normal start. Nate

Quote: DaV8or Also, you might want to call the various companies and see which closure mods are actually available right now. Lots of Mooney mods you see on people's websites aren't actually in production, or on back order.

Either one is going to hit you with a landing fee they claim is non waivble and imposed by the airport. I've only been to signature and its a nice fbo with expectable service. Nate

I did some searching and came up with a LASAR closure Vs. ARI 201 style cowl mod topic, but not quite what i was looking for. My question is, is there any difference from the SWTA lower cowl closure and the one LASAR sells? They are both about the same price. Nate
