  1. I downloaded a wt&balance ap for the M20R and it works great. However, they indicate a 'zero fuel weight' number in the envelope. I have been unable to find any reference to a 'zero fuel weight' limit in the POH. I am accustomed to dealing with this limit with jet aircraft but have found no reference in the M20R manual. Is there a 'zero fuel weight' limit on the M20R?
  2. Question on how best to troubleshoot: About 4 hours out of my last annual, on a cross-country, the Moritz EGT gage started to fluctuate wildly (was running LOP at the time), and then eventually settled at the bottom (around 500F as I recall). The EDM was stable and the Engine ran just fine. When I start the plane up when it's cold, the EGT starts showing the increase in EGT, but now stops at the low end/display at/around 500F.I It hasn't been essential for operations since I have an EDM700 that displays everything I need to know. Still, of course I want to fix that. My mechanic told me that there is nothing obviously missing or loose anywhere near the sensor. How best to troubleshoot this, without starting to replace parts to see what works. Is there a procedure to test the sensor, or the Moritz gage (which, if it is broken, not sure if/how to repair that...). Anyone know? PS: 2000 Ovation II, with 310 HP conversion.
  3. The right Hand lower cowling developed a dim size blister yesterday. Any idea?
  4. Hi - new member here. I have about 350 M20J hours and have decided to buy a used M20R 2GX or 3GX (2005 or later to get the Garmin G1000 with GFC 700 and SVT etc. Not being lazy, but did not find answers elsewhere on the forum). My mission is ~500nm non-stop in IFR and through Class B, taking off and landing in controlled airspace. Here are some questions I could use some guidance and help with: 1. If I base my Mooney at KSVH (A&P mechanic on site but not a Mooney center) how do I get the plane to the nearest authorized service center if it needs service (if it cant be flown there)? And where might the nearest reliable center be? 2. Where is the nearest center where I could do a pre-buy inspection (could not find anything closer than Fort Lauderdale)? 3. Does anyone know of any good planes (of the type described above) for sale? 4. Can someone please describe the buying process to me and how long will it take; 5. Is it better to buy in NC or CT (I have domicile in both places); 6. Could you point me to a few links/resources where I can better learn about buying a Mooney? Many thanks
  5. What egt and cht numbers are normal for leaning rich of peak?
  6. Hey all - have a very specific question - and a quick search of the forums didn't come up with an answer. Has anyone worked out the optimal power settings and speeds for the set of commercial maneuvers in an Ovation? I'm going to finish up my commercial soon, and know that the right settings are key to making every maneuver easier - and haven't worked it out yet. Has anyone already done this and would care to share their recommendations? Steep turns, chandelles, lazy eights and eights on pylons? thanks in advance! Greg

  9. An interesting topic came up the other day while reviewing the POH of my 2006 M20R Ovation2. As it states, and as indicated by the white arc, full flaps can be deployed at 110kts. Typically, in the other aircrafts I've flown, I've been instructed to put the first notch of flaps and gear down at the same time, as the increase in lift counters the increase in drag and results in less needed control input. This has always made sense to me, but most aircraft I've flown have a placard for the airspeed deployment for the first notch of flaps, or at the very least, have some indication in the POH. This, however, is not the case on the Ovation2. I would assume that the first notch can withstand the forces that the gear can withstand at 140kts, but since it is not listed anywhere, I have not attempted it. My instructor and I were both a little confused by the lack of information in the POH, which seems to only mention full flaps in most cases. Any input from my fellow Mooney pilots would be appreciated.
  10. I recently purchased a 2006 Mooney Ovation 2. Upon inspection, everything seemed to be working properly. As a former student used to keeping log time by the Hobbs, I frequently open the baggage door and record the hours. A little while ago, however, I noticed that the Hobbs wasn't moving. I took the plane to my local mechanic who told me that the Hobbs meters typically go bad and that they are easy to fix. After a short inspection, however, he told me that the meter itself was functioning properly and that the issue had to be something else. Doing some research through the threads, it appears (although I am not certain) that the air safety switch controls the Hobbs on the Ovations. Not knowing enough about the topic, I elected not to have the mechanics dive into the problem at the time. Speaking with several other pilots, there is a little bit of a discrepancy as to whether or not to even bother to fix the problem as the G1000 still calculates tac time on the panel. So here's where the question to my fellow Mooney pilots comes into play. How important is the Hobbs meter to you and would it be worth sending the plane in for maintenance?

  13. Hey Guys....... I need some help with a fuel pump problem. Just prior to my annual inspection I noticed when I ran the fuel pump on low it would run the pump for a few seconds then stop..... High seems to work just fine. I reported the problem to my mechanic and he send out for a new/rebuilt pump. Same problem after replacement.... This is the email I got after the new replacement pump was installed ...... "We installed the fuel pump, Thursday, and, Friday, found the low side pressure to be way higher than what is stated in the manual. We attempted to adjust the output by adjusting the boost pump regulator (it is essentially a voltage regulator) as described in the manual and were unable to get a consistent reading. We contacted tech support, Monday, and they indicated that rarely the regulator fails, but oddly enough have come out with a retrofit kit that removes the current style regulator and replaces it with a “new” style. The kit has a 120 day lead time and is $1700. I then contacted another Mooney service center to see if they had any leads on the old style regulator or had the components necessary to assemble a retrofit kit, no joy. They recommended contacting another service center in Texas, who happens to repair the “old” style regulators. I have sent it to them for evaluation and quote for repair. By talking with other techs they verified that we had a pump issue. So it is good that we put the gauge on it to verify pressure as to not wear out another pump." This is email I got today.... "We received the pump back late Tuesday and are having the same issue(s). Pump works when voltage is set high for high output, but when trying to adjust to low output the pump doesn’t operate." Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I have not been able to fly for about 6 weeks .... I miss my Mooney! Thanks for the help Mike Johnson Mooney M20R N871TX

  16. Allow me the honor of providing this forum advance notice of our latest MT Composite Prop upgrade STC. 74" diameter, 4-blade, Scimitar shape, Composite Propeller for all Mooney M20 R, S & TN models. The STC is approved to include those aircraft with engine performance upgrades. 24v hot prop or fluid de-ice options are available. The fluid de-ice system is compatable with existing FIKI systems. Our test ship was a very heavy M20TN with every possible option and we saw improvements in take off, climb and cruise compared to the 3-blade Hartzell that was tested against. The prop reduced noise inside and out and also reduced the high power operating temps. The base kit includes the prop with Kevlar spinner and STC for $14,540. De-ice options, assembly, crate and shipping are extra. Orders are being taken now for February delivery. Thank you with best regards, John Nielsen, Partner http://www.Flight-Resource.com Direct: 715-568-3980 Mooney M20R S TN Datasheet.pdf
  17. I'm considering installing GAMI Injectors in my 2007 Mooney M20R Ovation 3. I flew this morning, conducted and filled out the Gami Flight Test Data Sheet with my Fuel Flow Spread being .6 Gallons. Does anyone have any experience with Gami's in the M20R's and will it help fuel consumption and Air Speed with a current spread of only .6 gallons per hour? Thanks Mike Johnson N871TX
