WilliamR Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 Is there anyone in the Rockhill, SC, that can point me to some maintenance in the area? Apparently, Skytech (the only maintenance on the field) won't work on my M20k. Had a catastrophic electrical problem and am stuck on the ground. Thanks William
BigTex Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 No MSC close. Might want to give Cole Aviation in Rome,GA a call. They are a MSC and might know someone in the area they can recommend. 706-295-4353.
Jeff_S Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 I find it odd that a shop won't work on your K...it's a pretty standard electrical system. But yes, Joey Cole is probably a good bet to at least recommend someone. There are no MSC's listed on the Mooney site for either South or North Carolina, so Joey might be your best option to get started.
mooniac15u Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 I don't have any personal experience but the logbooks for my M20J are full of entries by Maurice Lemmond at KFLO in Florence, SC. I don't have any contact information but you could probably call the FBO there.
DrBill Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 I'm out of Wilgrove (abt 20 air miles away)... I may be wrong but I think My guy at Wilgrove would come look at it. His name is Mark Howell.. 704 6985739. He's an honest guy and if he can't fix it he'll tell ya BILL 1
larryb Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 What sort of electrical problem? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
PTK Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 You may also call Dan at DLK, a MSC at RYY ~180 nm WSW from you. (770) 427-4954. Dan is an honest gm and very good. He may also know someone to refer.
WilliamR Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 All, thanks. Jeff, I too was surprised that Skytech was not interested in looking at my problem. I spoke to them sometime ago about buying a Piper Mirage they were selling. So, I know they know piston aircraft. It's possible I caught the wrong person there. I was quickly becoming late for a client outing and did not have time to debate. I was able to find someone out of Gastonia who does maintenance on the flight school aircraft at UZA. Maintenance said the master solenoid fried as I had suspected in my trouble shooting. So, I had a new one overnighted to UZA the next day. Fortunately, that master and battery circuit is not terribly complicated. I reviewed that wiring myself while waiting for maintenance. So, I am somewhat confident the solenoid was the disease and not a symptom. In any case, I will be bringing the plane back home to Atlanta next week, for my avionics person to review both my and the Gastonia maintenance guy's analysis. Thanks also for the references. I will keep them handy as I go to the Charlotte area regulary. William
