Doctor Drill Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looking at a 1961 m20 B.. Is it normal to have the mixture control at the TOP of the avionics stack??? Im a rookie of the first degree, but that just doesnt seem right to me. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammdo Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Yes, Mooney placed them in different places depending on options. Mine is in the pic. -Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Drill Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thank you for the kind replies. I'm coming over from flying a Bellanca Super Viking, and Mooneys are a whole new world to me. DOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Lots of small mods occurred from early to mid 60s... Panels didn’t go six pack style for a few more years afterwards... Relocating most things is pretty easy... if the controls are original to the plane... new ones can be Swapped in rather quickly... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic...

kerry Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 In some ways it's kind of nice having the mixture control up there. After shut down it reminds you to turn the mags off. I use to turn my mags off then hang my keys on the pulled mixture handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
