Hi, As of now I wouldn't have the funds to join a partnership. Sorry and good luck in your search! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Sweet hopefully I can make it out to this.

Hello All, I am thinking of buying a M20C/E/F but I would like to see/sit in one just to see if it would be a good fit for me. Would anyone in the area be available to have me look at your airplane? I am located at KSAC but would be willing to fly somewhere that's reasonably close to come take a look. Thanks!

I live in Davis, CA and would like to either join or start a partnership with 1 or 2 other pilots. I would be interested in a Mooney M20C/E/F/J. I will plan on flying 60-80 hours. I am VFR rated only but will be getting IFR this year. Message me on here if you would be interested. Thanks!

Thanks ill give it a shot.

What's the best way to find partners? It wouldn't be ideal but I think with 1 or 2 partners I could afford to do so without breaking the bank.

Could I get some numbers on the cost so I can create a spreadsheet? So far I have the following: GPH 9 Hourly Maintenance reserve $30/hr Engine reserve ~$10/hr (depending how many hours are on it of course, but how much do they usually cost 20k?) Prop reserve ~$2/hr(how much are they usually?) Insurance might vary but I assume mine would be 1500/year is that reasonable for a 130TT private?

Also I would like to add who or what shop would be good to contact about doing a pre-buy inspection?

Would a M20F be more suitable if I had 1 person in the back? I see that they would probably be out of my price range.

So I know we all like to spend other people's money so here I let me know what I should buy. I am based in the sacramento area and I currently am partnered up in a club that has a cherokee 180. I have no IR but was planning on getting that this winter. And currently have ~130TT. My current missions are $100 hamburgers and a 450nm trip I like to make at least once or twice every couple of months. Mostly would carry one other + medium size dog. If I need to carry more I'd just rent. I would want a budget of 35k or maybe 40k if I had a partner, which I think would be ideal. I was thinking a M20C would fit my mission? I would just want a basic IFR airplane. I wouldn't plan on doing any hard IFR flying just breaking through fog layers and such. Also if someone had some insight into the maintenance cost that would also be great. Thanks!

what's the link for it.

What's it useful load? also how much has your maintenance been? would you say $130/hr wet would cover most things?

ok thanks! sounds like it would be perfect for long cross countries.

yes exactly the 231. Anyone have some operating cost numbers for it?
