jerryg324 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Posted February 1, 2019 Your panel is fantastic... I only have elevator trim indicator the one cutout is it... I should have panel and equipment in plane next week and I will certainly post pics... 1 Quote
MIm20c Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 M20R? Looks very clean. Haven’t seen many single panel replacements on long bodies. Quote
jerryg324 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Posted February 1, 2019 It’s actually a M20L with the M20R conversion to IO550N engine... 2 Quote
NJMac Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 I’d say 50amus sounds like a great value for what you’re getting. Nice!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Just can't seem to look past them to what is behind them. I haven't had my airplane for 4 months, as discussed in the Horrible Day post, as result of an incident that occurred during Annual. Everything works now. There are a zillion wires in the yoke that would have to be cut to get the yoke off. So, sometime, maybe, like when I get a new AP, the next upgrade maybe later this year. Right now, no. Believe me when I tell you, if you are flying behind this panel, you are having too much fun to worry about how the yokes look. There is so much more going on behind it that is invisible to the viewer like, XM weather and radio from 2 sources (GDL 69A and Aera 796), active traffic, WX500 stormscope, Telligence on the behind the scenes GMA 35C.

And to think, at one time we thought a Northstar LORAN-C was the end all of what we could expect from avionics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote
jerryg324 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Posted February 2, 2019 Lol... I still remember vividly the day I was able to move a VOR with that magic RNAV receiver... Wow !! I’m getting old... Quote
KSMooniac Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Don, after reading a good thread on BT, you might be able to get your yokes covered in situ if you find the right craftsman. A doctor on BT developed patterns for the Beech yoke and freely distributed them to others to cut and stitch. Perhaps you could per$uade Aero Comfort to share a pattern and find a local guy to stitch it on your yokes with at least the left one still in the plane.Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk Quote

carusoam Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Nice location for the annunciator panel more scan friendly. Go IO550N!!!. Lighter, 310hp, more modern cooling fins... Go leather grips... not for the looks, but for the feel... Wait a minute... Some MSers don’t hand fly their planes all the time... Some MSers don’t hand fly their planes in cold environments... When flying locally, burger run, on a cold day... the leather grips are really nice.... Fly in warmer climes, or Go leather grips? Best regards, -a- Quote
jerryg324 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 Okay guys here it is !!! A special shout out to the guys at: Heath Aviation 5A6 Winona, MS 38967 These guys are fantastic... 5 Quote
carusoam Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Somebody may be looking for a VM1000 around here...? See if Warren is a buyer... if JerryG is a seller of the aged device... Just an attempt to put together a couple of MSers that may have a mutual benefit... Best regards, -a- Quote
