N9170R Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The rudder and elevator trim and flap indicators on my 94 Bravo are very, very dim. In addition, the top layer of plastic on their screens is bubbling up from age and apparent heat. Result is that they are very difficult to read in sunlight, and I have tried all combinations of dimming and turning up the brightness. Any solutions? A friend of mine who knows Mooneys has mentioned the possibility of removing the bubbled plastic, but this seems a less than ideal solution. Based on my research, can anyone confirm if the indicators are manufactured by the Ray Allen Company? If so, is it a simple replacement?

WorldWiseTrade Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I have the same problem, actually flap indicator stopped working entirely. In that I like the aircraft perfect, really would like to find replacements for the trim, flap, rudder indicators. If anyone knows of anything, please advise. Thanks.

Tony Armour Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 For those with inop indicators. Don Maxwell has someone that does repairs on them. Maybe not cosmetics (??) but makes them work again. Over the years I have had two issues, the last issue this year. My electronics geek buddy repaired it (he actually repaired both times) I think he put a transistor in it this time. Ordered two of the parts and those and the shipping was five dollars. It's basic old school electronics so many folks can do the repairs. They are fairly easy to remove too. Glare shield off and then a few minutes is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
