Cervelorod Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Want to check the rigging on my F, but it seems that hangartoolbox is in a holding pattern right now. Is there a pattern to make your own travel boards, or somewhere to purchase them. I wouldn't mind making a set to have, but cringe as to what I expect purchase price from Mooney might be... Thanks, Rod Quote
RobertGary1 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Does it fly straight today? The boards are just a starting point (usually when installing control surfaces). The fine tuning is done with flight testing. Most Mooneys fly like crap off the assembly line rigged just to the boards. -Robert Quote
Guest Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Travel boards are required to set total travel of the controls as well as establishing trim neutral, trim travel, flap take off position, the one degree offset on the rudder as well as quite useful in the overall rigging process.

RLCarter Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Come up with a price and let me know Quote
1964-M20E Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Looks like you have two elevator travel boards there. I have to check I'm missing one board from my set but I can't recall which one. If it is the elevator board I will buy the extra one from you. Never mind looks like one elevator board is for the K models. I didn't know there was a difference and I think I need the rudder board anyway. Edited October 1, 2015 by 1964-M20E Quote

Paul @ LASAR said start with checking current rigging and go from there. Rod Quote
1964-M20E Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I checked last night I need the elevator board for the A-J models. so if anyone out there has an extra elevator board let me know. Quote

N601RX Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) One of my coworkers has a 4'x8' shopbot cnc router that does really nice work on aluminum. It also has a digitizer probe for generating a dxf file from a prexisting part. He runs this as a hobbie/business and might be interesting in cutting some of sets of travel boards out if there is enough interest. I took him up for his 1st ever ride in a small plane after he cut the panel below for me. Edited October 9, 2015 by N601RX 3 Quote

M20F-1968 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I would be interested in a set for the F model. PM me directly or e-mail me at john.breda@gmail.com My cell phone is (617) 877-0025 I would be happy to be the highest bidder. John Breda Quote
M20F-1968 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 The problem of making travel boards is not in actually fabricating them, but finding a set in good enough condition to copy them. Does anyone have a set which can be copied? The boards can be literally "copied" on a large scale copier, creating a technical drawing which can be copied, 1 to 1 scale. Or the outline could be copied on a CNC or water jet type machine. The scale can be engraved and riveted precisely onto the board (if aluminum) or by screws in wood. In any case you get the idea. Is there anyone who has a good set that could be used as a model. I suspect that there may be enough people interested on Mooney Space be able to fabricate a sufficient number of sets to make it worth while for a shop, and to also make it financially reasonable. Who is game? John Breda Quote
KSMooniac Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I would like to get in on a group deal to duplicate a set as well. Quote
