atrosa Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 I want to join a Mooney group on FB and it asks what TCS stands for and what is unique about a Mooney Master. I know neither... Hence I want to join a group to learn. Can someone please educate this c172 driver who wants to step up to a Mooney? Quote

If so, TKS is a system for flying the aircraft into known icing conditions. Master is a Mooney model. Specifically it is the fixed gear/fixed propeller version, or the D model Mooney. I hope this helps you. Quote

TCS might be touch control steering in a jet, but I don’t recall a Mooney having that unless you consider the PC button as TCS. Quote
gsxrpilot Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 I think the question is actually TSE which is Turbo Special Edition or MSE which is Mooney Special Edition... But never mind all that... You are here, on MooneySpace, which is where you want to be. The Mooney group on FB is the lightweight, second tier, JV, minor league, wannabe, poser, junior... location for all things Mooney on the Interwebs... Welcome aboard, introduce yourself, and don't get too offended by all the derogatory comments about brand C, high wings, fixed gear, trainers, and other lesser aircraft. 3 1 Quote

irishpilot Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 It's TSE for that test. I joined not too long ago and that was the question. Quote
carusoam Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 I would win the membership contest... everyone knows that a TSE is a twin screw extruder. TSEs get used for compounding polymeric materials with stabilizers, pigments, and fillers... Well... I think something got lost with the caps key... Mooneys have TCs, the older ones have TnBs...most of the modern ones are doing away with the TCs and replacing them with AIs... several of them so you can poll then to see which one is lying... Lets double down on the other question... The M20D, Mooney Master was a great way to enter into The Mooney world of aviation.... It had fixed gear and a fixed prop, and went faster than the competition of the time.... The fun fact that goes with that.... The M20D can be upgraded piece meal.... to match the skillsets of its sister... the M20C... There are three M20Ds left on the register that are still standing on their stout little legs... Two have been MSers... the third has never surfaced.... I joined the FB group because every now and then a video will be posted on there that needs to be seen... Same with joining BT... If they really want to keep you from joining the club... they could have started with the TCDS... get a copy of that. It makes a great read... PP thoughts only, -a- 2 Quote

0TreeLemur Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 Wow, I wouldn't want to join any online community that had a freekin' test. That's what I love about this bunch of 100z3rs. They'll accept all! Quote
carusoam Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 The difference.... We want you to be here... Bring your Mooney questions... answer some Mooney questions... Discuss flying Mooney planes... Chat on the benefits of building a Mooney instrument panel... Plan your Mooney maintenance... All Mooney, All of the time... Sprinkle in things that are a Mooney derivative.... Drop some pics of your Mooney lifestyle.... Enjoy the Mooney highlife! Best regards, -a- Quote
