TWinter Posted May 10, 2016 Report Posted May 10, 2016 I'm going to be changing my yokes to the 201 style. These were covered by AeroComfort about three years ago. Includes Yokes, Clock, PTTs and working PC switch. It will be about a month before the shop gets my plane, just thought I would put these out there for you to think about if you are needing to replace what you have. I'll get better pics within the next few weeks. They will not be available for about six weeks, but it will give someone a chance to think about it. Includes Yoke, PTT switch (both sides), shafts and clock. Check AeroComforts site and they charge about $800 for covering (you supply your yoke) in leather with just a single cover, no two-tone, no switch, no shaft, no clock and no embroidery. No need to pay until they are ready to ship. Just the word that you want them and I'll hold them for you. SOLD Quote

I think all the earlier models were the same diameter. I'm sure someone will chime in if I wrong. The J models went to a larger diameter. I'm still getting things lined up for the swap to the J style. They were covered about 3 years ago by AeroComfort. -Tom Quote
1524J Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Tom, does the suction cup mount on your windshield ever come loose? My son is wanting to do something similar and I know a couple of MS'ers have said the mounts are not reliable in turbulence. Those are nice yokes! Quote

My son is wanting to do something similar and I know a couple of MS'ers have said the mounts are not reliable in turbulence. Those are nice yokes! Not had a problem with it. It's snugged up so the side kind of rests against the edge of the glare shield so it stays pretty stable. I used it primarily for XM weather and radio unless I'm really heading someplace I rarely program flights into it. I just leave weather displayed. It takes a few tries to get the cup at the correct angle to get a good bite of the windshield. This was a picture from a few years ago. I now have a 796, but use the same method. -Tom Quote

The changes will be in the avionics panel mostly. The seats are nearly new and in good shape (done by AeroComfort). They were done new about three years ago as well. I am having some other cosmetics redone, side panels, glare shield and armrest. The Yokes will be changed to black with a silver trim Mooney logo in the center, they are the thicker 201 style to accommodate the new switches for PTT, AP and electric trim. Quote
