The first annual we had on our '79 "J" model Mooney (Please no flames
about what an annual is or isn't) was a little over 9 AMU's... This year
was a little less than 5 AMU's. We felt lucky... Next year we'll shoot
for 2.5...

The biggie for us this year was a 1.9 AMU fuel servo replacement. I must
say that 43H runs noticably better with the new servo... Other than that
we were pretty squawk free... The thing that I noticed is that a bunch
of little squawks can run into an AMU or two quickly...

Sorry to hear about your pain...

I empathize with your pain.

Annuals on older aircraft seem to be one big craps game where we owners
hope, at best, to walk away from the table only one AMU down. Rarely does
that appear to happen.
