Liberty ships didn’t improve production technically, they copied Ford production system to reduce the waste and improve FTP.

Guys. It is not about the technical issues, Mooney has that under control. It is about the process and FTP (First Time Pass) and TPS (Toyota Production System) application. It works.

It sure can.

Yes we have done improvements in production of prototype style of products, such as Mooney many times including the car manufacturers prototype shops. It is just the matter of improvement of FTP and reduction of waste in labor usage. They just need to learn to build with different set of mindset and don’t even need to look at different material.

BTW, I had a chance to fly a Cirrus SR22T yesterday. Very impressive plane, with all the safety features. But, it is not an Acclaim Ultra. Mooney beats it hands down in every aspect, but technology. Now all we have to do is reduce the cost of production and the manpower needed to third of what it is to complete with Cirrus and put some technology in it. Funny thing is, reducing the cost is the easiest thing to do at the current production process. Have done it hundreds of time during the last four decades.

This is great news. I wonder when they would catchup with their warranties and what they owe to the plane owners and service centers. They owe me a big chunk of change.

Thank you for the input. Have one of those already. Picked it from France few years back. Great plane.

I get it. Love my Mooney. Nothing like it.

Not sure if that is the case. It did change last year.

I just was wondering if they are going to honor their promises to the owners and suppliers. They own me a Buch of money.

Thank you Mike. Then I lost the title of the last Mooney in the world. It was great while it lasted.

Thank you. I meant if the factory Is producing new airplanes again. Overall, the situation with the ownership and continuation of production of new airplanes and support of exiting ones including the warranty.

Hello everyone. Has anyone heard any about the factory reopening? Perry

It wasn’t since new according to the data. It has been since early March. But all is good now with the new capacitor for the right mag. Perry

Hi guys. I do have the PDF version. I was looking for a hard copy. I will keep working on it. Thank you

That is where I went first. They can’t do anything right now due to the Mooney’s shutdown for the virus.

Hello everyone, does anyone know how get an additional POH & Maintenance Manuals for 2019 M20V? Thank you

We are trying to figure it out. Change of mag didn’t help.

Thank you. I will try this tomorrow.

Thank you for the input. I know how to download the data to the SD card. How do I get to see what it is saying. Is Savvy a program that can do that? If so, how do I upload the data to it. Sorry about the dumb questions. Perry

I meant to write P-Leads. Still investigating.

Hi everyone. The dead mag or may be just the P-leads or the switch are still intermittent. Next we will change the switch and see how it will fair. Changing the left mag helped, but not the rpm drop is not always consistent. Sometimes it is there sometimes it is not. will report back once we got it figured out. Perry

Hello all. The new mag is in and initially looked like that the problem is actually the ignition switch. We will see if that is the case. Jay at Lapeer MSC is better than great in diagnosis and repair. Stay tuned.

Thank you for all the input , right, wrong , mischievous or indifferent. There must be more engineers among us who want to resolve issues of this great product, than the ones, who seek fame on the social media. There seem to be two different issues, one cross-wiring, which was from factor, second the hot mag, which could have happened any time during its life. Both were discovered by Eric at the transition trading for my coworker at our company. The mag, will be replaced by MSC at Lapeer, once the stay-home order is released, due to the virus. Stay healthy, stay vigilant and value your lives. Perry

It did leave the factor that way. It was discovered during the transition training paid for by Mooney. Ironic.
