YuriE Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 If you are aware of S-Tec 50 for sale, that came off of M20C complete with pitch servo, bracket for it, and wires - please do let me know. Apparently STC won't be a problem in this case, I'm told, and I'll be able to upgrade my S-Tec 40...
catchman86 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 I also have a 40 and didn’t realize this was still possible. Hope you find a donor and report back how the upgrade goes
Denis Mexted Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 I've got an S-Tec 50 (I think) that I've pulled out of a M20F. I don't know anything about it except it worked prior to long term storage.

Denis Mexted Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 I can check. I'll try and take a look in the log books tomorrow. I'm running at the moment. Airbus trip for three days and then into a harvester for three weeks.

Denis Mexted Posted November 3, 2023 Report Posted November 3, 2023 YuriE, I've just had a look through the paperwork and cannot find any STC for the S-Tec and M20F. Not totally surprising as the books are a bit of a mess. Sorry, Denis.

Perhaps you could send photo(s) of all the pieces you've got - and I'll show that to A&P? yuri.e.elson@gmail.com
Denis Mexted Posted November 16, 2023 Report Posted November 16, 2023 Will do. Home early next week for a hangar week.

KLudwick Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 I have an STEC 60-2 that I am looking to sell. Servos, control head, AP computer, etc - all included. Feel free to send me an email at ludwickk1@gmail.com if you're interested!

Sheriff23 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Posted November 21, 2023 I have an STEC 60-2 with electric trim that was removed from a 67 M20F (GFC-500) upgrade in September. All brackets and mounts are included except for the roll servo bracket since it was too much work to remove. The servos were overhauled in 2017 and I have the logbook entry and original STC still. The post is under my name in the classified parts section of Mooney Space with photos, so feel free to take a look or ping me directly and I can pass any other info.
Denis Mexted Posted December 4, 2023 Report Posted December 4, 2023 This is what I've pulled out so far. The servo's are still in the wing. Next weeks job (I believed it all worked prior to coming out. But who knows)
YuriE Posted December 5, 2023 Author Report Posted December 5, 2023 I'll be replacing S-Tec 40 in a glass panel (dual G5, GTN650). So I need S-Tec unit (see it on photo), it's mounting bracket, pitch servo, it's mounting bracket, and wiring. If you also have original STC paperwork - that would be super!
Denis Mexted Posted January 3, 2024 Report Posted January 3, 2024 YuriE. I had a good look around the other day and could see no pitch servo and mounting unit. There was a servo and bellcrank in the left hand wing. Would it be unusual to have a S-Tec just as a wing leveller?

Whoever had it installed - could've decided to save $$ for the moment, but leave easy ability to go 2-axis later easily... I, however, already have S-Tec40 - so do need pitch... Great to meet you, and best of luck!
