No my mite there was some cracked plywood skin in the wing walk area. It was positionedДЄnd glued in before the aux spar and ribs were removed The core is made from laminated spruce, and the Here's my old helped Lucky helping me with the inspection of the old aux spar.ДЄ new aux spar was constructed. In 2005 I found a place to get then plated for a resonable I intended to have these chrome plated, but I could not stomach the highД¬ost of plated. Threaded brass rods were soldered to theД«ack. The ones I made were cutДЇrom brass about 3/32' thick. He did have a broken one he gave me to copy. He only had one pair and he was saving them for When I started restoring my Mite, I contacted Fred Schmidt to see These logos tend to break at the top of the The next time you see a Mooney Mite see if it has the logo on the side. A box was constructed in the firewall to provide I modified the firewall to allow the useДЄ Terra radio and transponder. Over a 12 volt because a larger fraction of the power can be extracted from theД«attery before the voltage drops too low to run the equipment. There is a master circuit switch mounted on the box. This was made from seven 5 amp-hour Gates cells and mounted behind the seat. To supply power to run a radio and transponder I made a 14 volt battery pack. Signed the 337 and sent it in to the FAA, and it did not bounce back. I did not get a field approval for this modification. I don't think it would pass this test, however it isД«etter than nothing. This design was not tested with the 500 lbs There is oneДЄdditional bolt added to each side. The straps attaches to the the fuel tank attachment bolts. Loop made from 1/4' round 4130 steel and a strap made from 0.035' 4130 I installed shoulder harness brackets in my Mite. One is with my sonДЄll of the cowl parts were rebuilt, except for the nose bowl. Here are two photos of the aft plywood part of the fuselage and two On one of the glue blocks there was some kind of Glue blocks at this point were fit very poorly. Workmanship at rear of the horizontal stabilizer. Had separated at the bottom of the spruce core of the Some large cracks around the vertical bushing. In the elevator center section the attachment blocks had Who ever did the repair didn't even bother building it back That about 3/16' had been ground off this spar near center. When I got to the point of rebuilding the aux spar, I found Steel disk between the rubber donuts of the nose gear. Looking at the nose gear, there will be a flat spot on the There was a plywood repair on the bottom center section. I was suppressed to see how bad the conditions of the wood was. Makes one want to stand in the cockpit and taxi across the If you take a Mooney Mite apart by removing the plywood tail cone first, it make for an odd looking contraption. Gets finished (usually on a geological time scale!) Getting starter, June 1978 Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem except they are typically scattered about the residence of some of these Would come up with, leads to the infestation of ongoing With a completion time estimation only a stark-raving optimist This lack of constraint at starting new projects, combined As is typical of a number of Shumakers I know, we are not happy unless we startДЇive or six new projects before finishing anything. We bought a house, raised a kid, and restored a couple of cars along the way. I did finish my graduate studies first and married Sue. This sounds like a long time,Д«ut it was not the only thing I was working on during the The Mite would not flyДЄgain until April 17, 1994. I determined that a complete restoration would be necessary One of theseДЄDs required the removal of the fabric from the tail to inspectДЇor wood and glue deteriation. Issued by the FAA on all models of the Mooney M18s. During the mid 70s there were a few AD (Airworthiness Directives)
