Guest Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 Is it a vane to trigger the Hobbs meter? Clarence Quote
carusoam Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 That would not be a Mooney standard switch. Looks like you may endure some humor to go with that. Based on its location, one might assume it’s a... Automatic Gear up landing alert sensor? A security switch I have no external switches on my aircraft. They would be susceptible to water intrusion. If it is connected to something important, I would really want to know what it is... what is the extra hole pattern dimpled into the access panel for? The usual screw holes seem to be riveted and not so nicely painted over. I suspect that Clarence has seen this thing before and security is in place to keep time theft from easily occurring.... I'm really curious.... why is there a piece of tape left there? Best regards, -a- Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 From the looks of the cutout it certainly isn't Mooney factory. what happens when you turn it on? Quote

ShuRugal Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 That switch supplies power to the radio receiver. You should turn it on prior to starting the engine, or your controller will be unable to command the aircraft control servos. Quote
MooneyBob Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 The wings pyro-detaching device. You flip the switch and you have 10 seconds to leave you hangar. Quote
Jeff H. Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 I'm just going to pile on . . . Gremlin entry point - flip the switch to open the access port. Quote
