Aircraft flying again! Just say no to tugs! Aircraft was grounded for 8 days. Was the turn indicator on your old Truss? If not how is this one attached? Quote

No damage to the tubes though at all.... Tugs gone wild! Sorry for your pain - I'm confused by what I'm looking at here - I guess it's because I have an older style truss that lacks this stop mechanism? I just check my tubes during preflight if I've been parked at an FBO and wanted to make sure I'm not missing something . Quote

Raptor05121 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Posted August 1, 2017 Did you not elect to replace the hockey pucks when you swapped it? The mushrooming out looks like they are old, no? Quote
MBDiagMan Posted August 2, 2017 Report Posted August 2, 2017 Coincidently I saw this thread and the picture right after moving my Mooney for the first time with a golf cart and tow bar. I had been careful not to put any pressure on the bar at full turn limit, but the picture scared me. I was very relieved to find everything looking good when I crawled underneath. I checked my tire pressures and found one noticeably low and another slightly low. I aired them up and have moved her by hand since then. Thank for the thread and picture. This kid will be extra careful henceforth. 1 Quote
