George Thomson Posted September 20 Report Posted September 20 Hello, My name is Juan R. I work for Marsh Brothers Aviation in Canada. My company designs and manufactures a couple of STCs for the Bonanza, Baron, and King Air. I would like to know and understand the most "frequent" issues that keep coming up on the Mooney fleet....real source of headaches for you the owner-pilots. I am looking for issues on the flap system, landing gear, cabin doors, seat roller...... problems that can be permanently solved by integrating one of our grease-free bushings/bearings, rollers or even a seal in the case of a dynamic application. Note: we have a re-seal kit for the brake master cylinder on all Mooneys. I can be reached at juanr@marshbrothersaviation.com 1 3 Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted September 20 Report Posted September 20 Not really any issues that would be solved by better rollers. 1 Quote
George Thomson Posted September 20 Author Report Posted September 20 Thank you for your reply! is there an issue or system that we can significantly upgrade by the integration of a grease-free bushing? Quote

All of the landing gear pivots have steel bushings that need to be greased. They are messy, but are not a big maintenance concern. It would take 20 years or better to figure out if your bushings are a better deal. 1 1 Quote

Thank you for your reply. that is exactly one of the many benefits with our bushings; They eliminate the need for repetitive lubrication! Quote
Joshua Blackh4t Posted September 21 Report Posted September 21 A.I. alert. Read the reply but didn't really understand it. Still responded confidently. So George/Juan, can your bushings replace my old muffler bearings? Mine are almost worn out because of the wear they get every time I change the oil in the battery. Its a common problem with early Mooneys. 2 Quote
hammdo Posted September 21 Report Posted September 21 Strange user ‘name’ - why not his real name? George? Interesting choice… their website and email posted does have a website… -Don Quote

Got rid of some other vendors. If we all work together in a coordinated attack, we can probably destroy MooneySpace. 3 2 1 Quote

I agree with you that people on here have been mean to many vendors. However, I honestly don't believe this is a real person. If we can find any evidence that this is not an AI (again), then I will apologise entirely and unreservedly Quote
Schllc Posted September 21 Report Posted September 21 Marsh brothers makes lots of things for Aerostars. They are the real deal. I have purchased from them before. They also have items on aircraft spruce. 1 1 Quote
Joshua Blackh4t Posted September 21 Report Posted September 21 Yeah, but it doesnt mean the 'person' posting here is actually affiliated with Marsh. The question is only why. Is it market research? Is someone trying to test our gullibility? I mean, read what they posted, does anyone really think that is an actual person who knows about aircraft? Once again, if I'm wrong, I apologise 1 Quote

Once again, if I'm wrong, I apologise Josh, I think you’re over reading this. Potential vendors often have a single profile with multiple employees posting. For example, EarthX has had both the CEO and a sales executive post from a single profile. Also his reply was directly related to Rich’s post about annual bushing lubrication. It may not have been worded as eloquently as it could have, but I don’t get the sense that Juan is a bot. I would be interested in seat rollers if they significantly reduced friction. My seats move fine but it’s still a two handed operation. Quote

Only issue is that when you unlatch the seat, the tilt of the Mooney on the ground is enough to slide ALL the way back, NOW. 1 Quote

But company accounts need a name, and all posts are not always made by just one person. Besides, while my screen name will get a much better response from me if you call it out in a room full of people, not one letter in it shows up on my government-issued ID. Quote

I think he understood the question well but didn't want to engage in a fight over whether it will really take 20 years to prove their parts' worth or not. What was he supposed to say? Provide details and hijack the conversation? He's not here to sell products. He's trying to scope for new ideas... @George Thomson i don't mind the greasing honesty. It takes 1hr of my time every 6 months but if you could redesign the landing gear with higher turn radius, you'll be a hero. Quote

I miss him here and he's not responding to email inquiries anymore, either. Though kindness and manners were made to prevail during the fight that resulted in his ejection, I don't recall any significant contribution since that moment by those who were offended by Clarence and taught him that he's not above us. 4 Quote
skykrawler Posted September 22 Report Posted September 22 https://www.marshbrothersaviation.com/collections/mooney I have personally seen worn solid bushing/bearings on the nose gear of an M20M. These were the pivot bushing for the lower leg. Probably not a chronic issue. Quote

Hi Ross, I would be interested in knowing more about the current rollers used on the Mooney? are they made out of Nylon? you can reach me at juanr@marshbrothersaviation.com Quote
