Hello, Today I was fortunate to be able to fly my "new" 1975 M20F on my first cross country (in this plane). It was uneventful. Once I got to cruise the altitude of 7500 and trimmed the plane out I set the altitude hold on the S-Tec 30. That was real nice! First time I've ever had a autopilot. At some point, I looked back at the tail and saw that the elevator was in a slightly down position, as noted by the outboard part that is fore of the hinge point (that was up). Later when I cancelled the ALT Hold, there was no significant pitch up or down. Shouldn't the full pivoting tail section have the elevator perfectly lined up with the horizontal stabilizer? Seems in the configuration it was in, it would have a lot of drag. Thanks, Philip

I had this functioning elevator (empennage) electric trim system removed from my M20C: Aero Trim Electric Trim System 800ET It was installed by a previous owner in 2000 with a yoke mounted switch. It was made by these folks, but is no longer available: http://www.aerotriminc.com/index.html My info and documentation on it is scant, but there does appear to have been a 337 filed for it. It's a pretty basic unit. At my prebuy the MSC mechanic commented that he rarely sees these still working, but mine worked ok until removal. I took it out because it was hooked to the avionics master and made the trim wheel hard to turn by hand with it on and impossible to turn with it off. I figured it was just a matter of time before the thing failed and froze my trim wheel, which is easy enough to manage without it. Anyway, I offer it for the price of shipping in case there's anyone out there who might need parts to fix theirs - I doubt it's worth installing if you don't already have one.

Had a guy come out to the ramp where I have a second home and he had just seen a couple other Mooneys fly formation with me who had a question for me! Why does your Mooney elevator relax to the full down position and mine does not he ask? He has a 69E I had no idea and had never paid any attention to elevator position in relaxed condition. Looking at several pictures what I found online of other E & they appeared to have the elevator in slightly down relaxed position. I see in another forum some topic about elevator rigging setup by serial #.
