Denis Mexted Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Posted June 6, 2023 How does this get so beat up and what's the hole for? It looks like it's been chipped out with an ice pick. Quote
Denis Mexted Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Posted July 3, 2023 Hi all. The IPC gives the following for the pitot tube screws, - AN52CC6-R4 - Even Dr Google has never heard of them. What hardware is everyone using to attach the pitot tube please? Quote
Denis Mexted Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks. It’s all in bits now, but I will take a close look when it does go back together. Quote

Denis Mexted Posted May 30 Author Report Posted May 30 I flew a Mooney for the first time yesterday for the first time in about 30 years. What a fun aircraft. I have a lot of fun memories of a M20C with the 'round' windows and J-bar from when I was 20 (34 years ago). While work is still progressing VERY slowly on KWA, I have a need for a Mooney right now. Well 'need' is probably a bit strong a word. I wish to put my wages into my own aircraft for the kids rather than someone else's. Plus single engine, CSU, retractable aircraft are very hard to find at Ma and Pop flying schools these days. If the kids load up on debt that I don't see how they can repay they could go to a big sausage machine school, but.......... Anyhow, we are now the proud owners of more aeroplanes. Quote
Denis Mexted Posted May 30 Author Report Posted May 30 (edited) I couldn't believe the efficiency of this beauty. I was TAS'ing 157kts and burning 38 ltr/hr. Compared to my C180 this thing's a dream. I make the specific ground range 65% better. I do have some questions, like leaning on climb. The auto-pilot (KFC200) was jumping on altitude hold. But I have some reading to do first on both topics. I put it in a hangar last night belonging to the instructor who did my commercial license. After my time with him he had a Mooney 201 at his school for years. He said as we were pushing the aircraft in to get rid of the Ram Air Louvre. He was flying out of Canberra one night in his 201 and the power was reducing. He determined the Ram Air Louvre was letting in moist air which was causing induction icing. Edited May 30 by Denis Mexted Quote
