I just finished updating my 1984 Mooney 201 panel. My plane spent the majority of it's life in northern Minnesota and has 2300 hours total time. Everything I am selling worked very well when removed. Reasonable offers will be considered. Here is a list of equipment being offered for sale (Images Below): King KG258 Horizon Gyro (Image 1a and Image 1B): $300 Two Auto Pilot Servos: $300 each (or $500 for the pair) Trim Servo: $500 Oil Pressure Amp Part No. 950D0311-002: $50 Antenna: $50 Avionics Cooling Fan: $50 3 Switches: $125 each Intercom: $50

Evening all, I've started getting a rocking motion when activating my King Autopilot. Regardless of mode, Nav, or HDG, as soon as I activate it the elevators start an up and down motion that causes the wings to rock. It's relatively smooth and switches back and forth between wings about every second. Still tracks well, but what started out as an occasional rocking has pretty much turned permanent. Any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey all, I'm trying to address an issue that has been slightly vexing since I bought this airplane. The S-TEC 55x is a fine A/P for its generation...although I've already inquired from Mooney if there is ever going to be an upgrade path to the new Garmin GFC600 or Genesys digital A/Ps...their response was "we'll look into it." So maybe someday. In the meantime, I would like to address what has always been a slow roll-rate for GPSS. On any kind of hold or course turn, the roll rate is slow to develop and I always fly outside the designated flight path and then angle my way back onto it. While installing the GTX345, my avionics guy showed me how to access the STEC config page of the G1000 and there is a setting for roll rate. It was set to -17, which he said was the maximum "inhibitor" setting meaning that would make roll the slowest. We set it to -13, but I can't tell if that's had much effect. My question to anyone with knowledge about STECs in general, or this G1000 configuration, is what settings they use or have experimented with. Has anyone tweaked these settings before to improve roll rate? If so, where did you end up? This may apply equally to the other S-TEC models, so if you've made changes to a -30 or other model I'd be interested to hear how that worked. Thanks! Jeff

I just upgraded from GNS 530 + 430 to a GTN 750. I have a KAP 225 auto pilot. When plotting a Direct To course with the GPS and then pressing the NAV button on the auto pilot, nothing happens. I can get the NAV button to work when I use the VLOC to see a VOR or ILS freq, but not in GPS mode. If I want to fly a GPS route, then I use the Heading Bug and select HDG on the auto pilot and self-correct for wind/drift. Sarasota Avionics is where the work was done and they are talking with Garmin to troubleshoot. Has anyone come across this situation before?

My Century 2B Auto pilot circuit breaker keeps popping. (When I hold in the breaker for 10 minutes, it gets REALLY hot) .Just kidding. Anyone got Century Auto pilot experience. Wondering if a servo is binding.
