Like this? Sadly didn’t go over too good. To start a Porsche Mooney airplane, simply turn the ignition key like you would start a Porsche car; there's no need for any special "airplane" starting procedures as the engine is essentially a car engine, meaning you can just turn the key to start it,

AOPA is the NRA of Aviation.

In for the cause. Also I've had my share of A&P that guessed at problems. Sometimes they were right sometimes not.

WAG is mag was bumped out of timing some how.

Seems like it was an isolated incident considering the number of that model flying. Does an eddy current inspection really show the condition of damage? I wonder.

Don’t you generally have to pay sales tax in the state of residency? Or where the plane will be permanently based?

How exactly did it fail? Crack?

Mooney pilots said you had to get the plane on a Step. One way they said was climb above your cruise altitude the let her descend gaining speed to get on the step. C182 RG's said to be slower if loaded aft because of the open rear wheel wells would catch the airflow. Any truth who knows.

I can’t imagine trying to keep a 50 year old airframe from not leaking. Dump valves but all the control cable seals and everything else.

Well they do carry the majority of passengers. Never been or seen a ramp check.

Why two altimeters in a Saratoga ? Wouldn’t an avionics instrument shop be better?

Maybe paint them camouflage color. Bright yellow is just asking for target practice.
