carusoam Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Some pretty amazing talent you guys have. Turning ideas into refined physical tools. Best regards, -a-
Yetti Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 And darn if the thumb screws were too short. Looks like the rest of the mount will work well. Could probably slim it down some.
Yetti Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I have not removed the original sun visors. They are in a superior mounting position. The center mount could be used by people who do not have the factory tab welded to the factory tubing. If someone has the factory tabs but not the hardware, I have made duplicate hardware that could be installed as Owner Produced. For the center mount the use is for my install is a camera mount. A clamp with thumbscrews is a clamp with a thumbscrew. There are lots of configurations There are several ACs covering these type things. Wondering if you had a chance to read them?

DonMuncy Posted April 11, 2016 Report Posted April 11, 2016 Just In case someone with a vintage plane interested in sun visors doesn't keep up with the general Mooney posts, you might check on "visors" under general Mooney.
DrBill Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 I finally got my Rosens installed. Here are before and after photos. Bill

There was a gentleman near my hometown who was flying a Taylorcraft and got written up for his GPS installation. Not quite sure on all the details, but I do know the FAA didn't consider his installation "temporary" like they do when it comes to a RAM iPad yoke mount with the thumbscrew as pictured below. In the end, the FAA dinged him with a pretty hefty fine because of his installation and because it's a certified aircraft just like your Mooney. It looks as though you've done a great job and spent some considerable time engineering your shades and kudos to you for that! However like I said, I'd be a little leery with this one. Especially since you have removed the factory visors. Stuff like that tends to be a red flag for an FAA inspector. If you're looking for a surefire answer, check with your local FAA guy/gal. They should be able to tell you for sure. Good luck! If that's what FAA inspectors are spending their time doing, the FAA has too many inspectors. Clarence
Yetti Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Posted May 3, 2016 Interesting note. Sun visors are on the equipment list with the radios and such
