Can anybody help me diagnose this problem? Just bought my new (to me) 1978 Mooney 201, flew it back from Kansas City to Atlanta, no problem. Flew to Richmond, VA - again no problem. Leaving RIC for Atlanta, the low voltage light started flashing. Didn't want to carry on IFR so stopped into...

Hi, I'm interested to buy a Mooney M20K. But the airfield I use is grass airfield. Do you think that Grass is ok with a M20K or it's dangerous ? Thanks a lot. (I must take a decision in few days ... ) Mike.

On the hydraulic flaps, does the position of the silver pump handle have any bearing on whether or not the hydraulic pressure leaks out of the flap, once they are extended? (The POH doesn't say that it does.) There is some mechanism underneath the instrument panel that has some adjustment for the...

Hello, I own a 65 m20e with a io360. Recently been experiencing noise on com1 and have read about low voltage being a problem with nav/com's. I have a king ki 165 for both com1 and com2. I've tried to diagnose the problem and it appers that my alternator isn't charging the batter correctly nor...

I understand that in 1969, Mooney implemented a number of changes in the M20C / M20E models. A friend and I might start shopping for one of these planes in a few months, and I'm trying to figure out what's important and what isn't. 1. Does the larger rudder in the 1969+ models have a positive...

I looked at a 1969 Mooney M20F over the weekend, and was surprised to see how narrow it is in the cockpit. While sitting in the pilot's seat, I was pushed to the right by the left side of the cabin, and was not able to sit directly behind the control yoke. Perhaps I'm just too big for this...

Is anyone interested in a Mooney Rocket? A friend here has one up for sale, $150,000(us). The 325hp TSIO 520 has 405 hours, the airframe about 7000. Extra tanks, spoilers, GM530 etc. I do believe it has a minor damage history, gear up landings. (Yes, plural) Al G

Does anyone have any personal experience getting soundproofing in a Mooney M20J ? How effective is it ? Will your ears still ring without headsets ? Has anyone checked decibles before and after soundproofing ?

Does anyone have information on this airplane, STC SA4758NM? There is a gentleman in Idaho looking for the wording of the STC for continued airworthiness. He has tried to contact the current STC owner, Aircraft Design, Inc. in Spokane, WA with no success. The paperwork did not follow the...

FLIGHT MANUAL AND PILOTS CHECKLIST???

Stuff that I can remember off the top of my head: - GNS-430 GPS (a hard one to forget...drool drool) - JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer - GAMI injectors - DRE-468 intercom - KX-155 COM2 - Vertical compass - 180 SMOH...well, after our return trip, that's more like 195-ish SMOH - Less than 3000 TTAF -...

From Aero-News.com http://www.aero-news.net NORAD Orders Deletion Of ADIZ Meeting Transcript Were National Security Issues At Stake? National security... or outright censorship? That is but one of the questions being asked in the wake of news

I recently made an inquiry to Garmin regarding their new requirement that GNS 430/530 owners pre-order the WAAS upgrade prior to November 2005 to guarantee the $1500 price their marketing department has been stating for the past 2 years... Keeping in mind the WAAS upgrade for these boxes are...

I've been researching how to replace an old AC Spark Plug CHT probe in our Aztec. AC doesn't make them anymore and the replacement Rochester brand probe operates at a different resistance range requiring the gauge to be removed, shipped out and recalibrated. Not a fun proposition. Rumor, and a...

I received this from a friend who knows a Diamond Star owner in MA: "If you can afford the planes you can probably afford the insurance but AVEMCO wanted $8300 per year for the SR20 and only about $4500 for the DA40. It seems that low-time pilots have made a mess of many a Cirrus. (I got my best...

I followed the thread from January on painters. Its time for our Warrior as well. Anyone know of Oxford Aviation in Maine??

This is something that has puzzled me for a while... I (a private pilot) work in the pleasure marine industry and have noticed that almost anyone who wants to own a boat does own a boat. Now, some boats are indeed pretty cheap, but a $20,000 boat is fairly common (approx cost of a 150?). Here in...
