Oscar Avalle Posted September 26, 2020 Report Posted September 26, 2020 COVID 19 has limited how much I have been able to fly my Mooney. So I decided to take advantage of the down time and give her little facelift (she is reaching her 50s...). New paint, new panel, new MT prop, new interior and everything electric. Obviously this is my last plane.... Here is a video of the transformation process. 12 Quote

Marauder Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 Dang Oscar! That sure looks pretty! You got to give us more details on the MT prop. Love to hear if it improves anything (speed, vibration) — already know it looks great!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Love to hear if it improves anything (speed, vibration) — already know it looks great! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro I flew it today for the first time. Unfortunately the weather was marginal so I could only do pattern work and a limited short flight outside the pattern... But already I saw a huge difference. First the plane starts much easier (it is lighter and the starter spins faster...). second it is quieter and smoother, third take off distance is shorter, fourth it reacts much faster to throttle changes, fifth once i left the pattern the plane accelerated much faster and I also felt that its attitude was more nose down than with the McCauley prop. Which would make sense considering that the Mc Cauley is heavier... I also felt that the plane was a bit faster, but I need to double check it before making such a statement. Oscar 2 Quote
gsxrpilot Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 Wow, looks great! I'm guessing it was more affordable than if done here in the US? 1 Quote
