Greetings everyone, this is my first post but I’ve been on the site for about 15 years.  I’ve owned 1965 M20E, N5605Q for 15 years and just did a complete full Garmin Glass cockpit upgrade and removed all the steam guages and Accutrack autopilot system.  I have an operational Mooney engine cluster along with a Brittain auto pilot system that was fully functioning.  The control unit was refurbed by brittain in 2015.  Additionally I have a KX155 and indicator and KX175B that are now just setting in a box.  I replaced the vacuum retract for the step with the electric conversion.  I have a complete operational set of bellows for the step and controls.  Monarch aviation in Defuniak springs, Fl did the upgrade and Carl told me that Brittain offered to sell everything to him so parts are going to get hard to find.  If anyone needs or wants, let me know.  You can PM here or call or text me at 770-362-7621.  I’m hoping to re home these parts to someone that needs them.

I’ll also say that the worst part of the upgrade is seeing how well the GX3, GTN 650xi and GFC 500 can fly compared to hand flying.  I’ve completed about 10 hours cross country so far.  It is absolutely better than anything you can imagine.  I didn’t get the yaw damper but it flies great just needs a little right rudder on climb or it’s about 1/4 ball out of trim.  I don’t mind holding it in as I still get to participate in the flying…. A little.  It’s truly amazing system!
