It's got to be more than Superficial... 

Check in with Yetti.  He has a giant sewing machine. And has done some interesting interior parts...

Seriously, my memory for this has left the building earlier today...

is it as simple as sewing up a set?  no special material required?

 

also, if I have strobes on each wing and the tail, can I dump the rotating beacon.

It is pretty simple to pick some materials and do the sewing.  Flame resistant materials would be Best for your health and safety.

The whelen lighting site has the best page to determine what is required depending on the age of your particular ship.

look up Aircraft interiors and things like that for particular materials... search on flame testing to see how that is done.  Test your stuff to see how it burns.  If it goes up in a ball of flames like a '70s footy pajama, select a new material...

Best regards,

Here she is 

Welcome to the site. Great colors and welcome to my world. Here is a pic of 7741M when I first got her. Looks like we had the same paint line. Then a few years later and a few dollars less. Mine is Serial #0024. Yours is #0040. Probably on the line together at one time.

man that is one gorgeous plane.

Ah the disco green paint job.   Hit it with a buffer and some wax.   If you have the Antique Moss interior your Mooney life is complete.

 

Search "Three Leather Hides"

If you make some suggestion of what you are going to put in the plane people have been known to go Mythbusters and show why your thinking may be off course.

For two bucks you can get some rocking stick on shades from wally world

[McMooney]

you know I was thinking bout that, what's the best kinda wax?  was thinking of hitting it with some carnauba; probably take all day to wax.

found a guy at the airport, kdwh, who does avionics.  thinking about removing the HUGE beacon and replacing my kx170b with maybe a kx155 or gnc 255a.

would love a set of sl30's but man those things are expensive.

Hey another quick question, do you guys remove the tiedown rings every flight ?

No, remove them once and toss them in the bin. Order new slick tiedowns from LASAR.

I used a harbor freight buffer and some Maguairs from the same store.   Then just whatever spray and wax.   We should try the Texas fly in again.  Last one got weathered out.

[McMooney]

i'm up for any excuse to go flying hehe. 

I purchased a winch from harbor freight for 10 bucks ( original price 165$ )  going to use it to pull the plane into the hangar.

 

 

Now that I've owned the plane, all of 1 week today, i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Have no clue as what to do next.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Fly to breakfast somewhere!

[McMooney]

Last time I flew to san antonio, I was number two behind an airbus; controller had a bit of fun suggesting I keep my speed down.
