Need a picture of M20G of belly below baggage area

[Florian Guthardt]

We currently are waiting for a BK AeroCruze kit. There are some modifications needed. To identify possible differences between M20F and M20G ( most probably they are identical but without picture hard to tell) we would need a picture of the area below the baggage compartment looking aft with belly skin removed. The area around the elevator control tube cutout ( RHD side of fuselage ) is interesting - I have added a pic of  our 1967 F. Can anyone help with a picture in same / similar angle of a M20G? 
Thanks in advance, Florian

I may be able to provide one next week.  I’ll see what I can do.

Are you planning on pulling out the green Brittain A/P tubing?  :-) :-)

Please show us pictures of the complete install if you can

Many of us would be very interested in seeing the process

Let’s see when the parts finally arrive - actually we might re-use the green and red tubing for wire routings - let’s see. We plan to document the install step by step to encourage others to do this ! Looking at the installa Instructions the design is pretty simple and straightforward!

Did you have a chance to take this picture? Would help to get the Aerocruze approved for the vintage Mooney‘s

Not yet,  I’ll try to get over to the airport this afternoon and take those pictures.  It’s been hard to motivate myself to go take out 50 screws on my back in the snow.

I went by the airport just now and unfortunately there is a lot of water dripping off the plane.  Also very cold.  As soon as I get a dry day above freezing where I’m at the airport I’ll get those pics.

Thank you so much for your help! 
All the best, Florian

I looked at my plane with a mirror and flashlight through the flap actuator hole with the flaps down.  Everything is the same as your picture except I don't have the three Fastners upper right in the pic.  1968 M20G S/N 680048 with vacuum step.  I know planes with a fixed step are different in that area.

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much - that’s what I was expecting- a picture would still be awesome as I promised to send one to Duncan/BK - they need to verify the G model is identical to the F model before doing the STC revision for the Aerocruze Autopilot. Hopefully this will ship soon so we have an alternative there!

 

All the best,
