Hi there. My name is Scott and I have been enjoying reading through the threads for a few days. One of the reasons I am on this forum is to ask the guys "in the know" about mooneys about the 421knot ground speed on file in a M20M Bravo. I saw an ad on controller for "record setting mooney". Was that speed a matter of being in a nasty dive and pulling out of it then capturing the record? Was it some hopped up version other than what is available to the public? Forgive me if this is the proverbial dead horse. I just gotta know! I hope each of you are doing well.
I hope to call myself a fellow owner of a Mooney some day. I am a 25hour student pilot and have been in the 110kias club in 152 or 172. I do like flying in anything but as far as future for me I hope to use the plane to get home quick on the weekends to kiss my wife a lil bit! I have read so many times of people putting on "speed mods" on a 172 and after spending a ton of cash only picking up 5-10 knots. I would rather start with a better platform personally. The record is what I am curious about but I wanted to introduce myself. Thanks for the great information on this forum. I hope I don't drive all of you insane with questions. I didn't see this one in search before posting. Happy New Year ... Blue skies!
Scott
