Here's my plane with the new tank

That antenna on top looks pretty draggy to me

[2659AU]

I am a little confused by AD/GAS/1 Amdt 12  How often does the oxygen tank is a Mooney Acclaim need to be hydro tested - every 3 years or every 5 years? any feedback appreciated.

A 3HT cylinder is tested every three years with a 24 year life and a 3AA cylinder is five years with an unlimited life.   Kevlar wrapped cylinders are a five year hydro interval with a 15 year life limit.  Life limits are taken from the DOM, not the date of install….

On that airplane I think I'd want the glide slope antenna toward the bottom rather than on the top.
