Requesting PIREP Mooney Service Center Eastern PA or NJ

[HIghpockets]

31E (Eagles Nest) Stafford NJ is closed to due vast amounts of snowfall  My mechanic is located there and until Mother Nature accommodates the airfield will remain closed and my A&P will remain inaccessible.

I'd like to hear recommendations for reliable service in the eastern PA/NJ region. I am need of an oil change and my flap switch is inop (although it may be frozen).

 

Thanks.

Weber, Lancaster Pa, excellent MSC, have done majority of maintenance on my Bravo.

I've used the shop on my field (N57 New Garden Flying Field) for the last two annuals (was using MSCs before that). The shop does a decent job and I haven't had a reason to not use them next year. They can handle the stuff you are looking to have done.

Luckily you have someone in your neighborhood, C I have a guy who travels I think he is located at Chester Co if you get in a pinch txt me and I’ll give you his info. DB

Most likely not your flap switch. It's usually the flap relay.  https://mooneyspace.com/search/?&q="flap relay"&quick=1&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy

Highly recommend Air Mods at Robbinsville, NJ.  Technically Trenton-Robbinsville Airport N87 when you go to look it up. 

They're a MSC and listed on Mooney's site.  Talk to Dave Mathiesen 609-259-6877 or 609-259-2400

I just picked up my Bravo from Weber & Lancaster Avionics today.  They were great to work with.

Tuesday my A&P replace a faulty limit switch. Good call.

Great follow-up Hp!

If we had a scoring system for MSers with the most helpful posts…

Lance would be in the group at the top!

Here's a video of the repaired assembly. My J is a 1988 model. Apparently higher serial numbers have a different set up.

Great video, I never saw the mechanism in action.

Yup - not that your problem is complex.  But stick to MSCs for annuals and bigger work.  Dave does all my annuals (N87 is 20min away from me - I'm sure Weber is great too).  Avionics is Todd at Lancaster - very happy with their service and work - scheduled for more in June.

agreed on Air-Mods. they did an amazing job on my annual. it had previously been taken care of by Top Gun in CA, and there were a bunch of squawks that Air-mods fixed  that TG could solve, and they fixed some issues that TG introduced.
