Thank you RBridges! I look forward to hopefully working with more owners and buyers in the Mooney community going forward. -Neal

Hi Brad, The ding on the leading edge of the left wing has been there for at least the current owner and previous owner's time with the plane. It may have been a bird strike in the airplane's early life or possibly hangar rash of some kind. I don't know why those panels aren't flush but I asked the owners' to look into it and see if it can be resolved. -Neal

Guilty as charged. I go out of my way to take as many photos as possible of a plane (there are far more in the high res photo gallery on DropBox). I do this so that buyers can get as accurate a picture of the plane as possible. I never want a buyer to see a plane for the first time and not have it meet their expectations based off of the photos so I try to take a ton of photos that show "the good, the bad, and the ugly" parts of the plane. -Neal

Latitude Aviation is proud to list N92EL, which is a 1992 Mooney M20J MSE. N92EL is owned by two brothers who are located in Grand Rapids, MI. N92EL is well-appointed with an Aspen EFD 1000 PFD, GTN 750, KFC 150 autopilot, and EDM 830 engine management system. There are other avionics and systems upgrades as well and they are listed below. The cosmetics are in good shape although there is a minor cosmetic dent/ding on the leading edge of the left wing (and there are close up pictures posted below). The owners have had the plane for exactly 6 years and in that time have flown it approximately 1040 hours which is about 173 hours per year. They rely on it for both personal and business travel so it has been meticulously maintained. Below are detailed specs as well as links to the logbooks and the high resolution photo gallery. I also have the FAA registration and airworthiness records available and will email them upon request. Please call or email any time to discuss this great Mooney MSE! -Neal 1992 Mooney M20J MSE N92EL Serial # 24-3273 Price: $139,900 USD Contact: Neal Schwartz Latitude Aviation LLC 914.625.5776 neal.schwartz@gmail.com Airframe: 2441 SNEW Engine: 1153 SMOH – Lycoming IO-360-A3B6D (Overhauled by Signature Aircraft Engines in 10/2006) Propeller: 484 SPOH – McCauley B2D34C214-B (Overhauled by H&S Propeller Shop in 4/2014) Max Gross Takeoff Weight: 2900 pounds Basic Empty Weight: 1915 pounds Useful Load: 985 pounds Usable Fuel Capacity: 64 gallons Empty CG: 47.15 inches General: Aircraft hangared at Sparta Airport (8D4) in Grand Rapids, MI Always US-based Complete logbooks available for download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52481951/N92EL%20Airframe%20Logbooks.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52481951/N92EL%20Engine%20Logbook.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52481951/N92EL%20Propeller%20Logbook.pdf Annual inspection due 9/2017 IFR certification due 4/2018 ELT battery due 5/2021 All AD’s in compliance Engine compressions at 9/2016 annual 76/75/76/76 Comprehensive photo gallery: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nwuboxtq52fogwm/AACdsnaH5_KKwJwnxIFWhoHTa?dl=0 No known major damage history (left wing has a minor cosmetic dent on leading edge) Avionics: Aspen EFD 1000 PFD with SVT and EA100 autopilot adapter Garmin GTN 750 #1 WAAS GPS/Nav/Comm King KX 155 #2 Nav/Comm King KFC 150 autopilot with electric trim and GPSS Back-up attitude indicator, airspeed indicator, altimeter, turn coordinator, and vertical speed indicator King KN 64 DME King KT 76A transponder BFG WX-1000 Stormscope · King KMA 24 audio panel · NAT 4-place intercom JPI EDM 830 color engine monitor and fuel flow meter/totalizer Pilot and co-pilot aircraft-powered LEMO headset plugs Additional Equipment: · Standby vacuum system · Precise Flight speedbrakes · Tanis TAS-100 engine preheat system · Wing-mounted LED landing lights and LED taxi lights · Brackett air filter Miscellaneous Recent Maintenance: New PlanePower alternator 7/2016 New fine wire spark plugs 6/2016 500 hour magneto inspection 6/2016 New Concorde battery 6/2016 Dynamically balance propeller 4/2014 New vacuum pump 3/2014 500 hour magneto inspection 6/2013 All new landing gear shock discs 9/2012 New engine mounts 10/2006 All new engine hoses 10/2006 Exterior: Original paint Really White top, Mooney Green bottom, and Mooney Gold and Mooney Green stripes Interior: Original interior Blue fabric seats Grey carpet Grey sidewalls with Blue trim Grey headliner Split and removable rear seats

It is an anomaly for sure which the owner and I were scratching our heads over. In light of that, the owner flew the plane an hour today up to his shop and had them redo the compression check. Sure enough, that cylinder blew a 70 about 2 hours ago. I should be getting the new logbook entry for that compression check shortly and when I do I will revise the compressions in the ad above. -Neal

Latitude Aviation is proud to represent N33YZ, which is a beautiful "one of a kind" 1978 Mooney 201 that is based at Sugarland Airport in Houston, TX. N33YZ is owned by a MooneySpace'er who will hopefully be transitioning into a B55 Baron (and will entertain trades of similar aesthetics and condition). The owner has completely transformed and upgraded this 201 over his 4 years of ownership. The paint and interior are second to none. Frankly, my pictures don't do the aesthetics justice - it is just that nice. The back seats have never even had occupants. The owner further covered all of the details with areas like the leather-wrapped yokes, glareshield, powder coated instrument panel, etc. This is one of the nicest planes I have ever seen, let alone had for sale. The maintenance history and pedigree of this plane must also be mentioned. It has, for the past 22 years, been maintained by Dugosh Aircraft Service in Kerrville, TX. Dugosh is known in the Mooney world as one of the best Mooney shops and is also located at the same airport as the Mooney factory. The avionics are also highly upgraded with the Aspen 2500 PFD/MFD/MFD setup along with the 430W, STEC 30 autopilot (new in 2013), and LCD standby attitude indicator (with its own back-up battery). It also has the P2 Inc. Audio Advisor System which will alert you aurally if your landing gear isn't down for landing. The spec sheet, logbook links, and photos are below. Please call/email/PM anytime to further discuss this beautiful Mooney 201.

1985 M20K 305 Rocket Conversion (2421 TT / 348 SFRM)
Neal Schwartz replied to Neal Schwartz's topic in Aircraft Classifieds
231-Flyer, Thank you! Your question prompted a lot of discussion and review with the owner this morning. I learned that the logbooks from 1999 (when the Rocket Conversion was done) through 2007 are, in fact, photocopies and recreations from the originals as the originals were lost by a mechanic. The logbooks through 1999 are original and of course everything after the date the logbooks were lost are original as well. I informed the owner of the difference between original and recreations and what that could do to the value and ultimate selling price of the aircraft. There is no question in the owner's or my mind as to what level of maintenance was conducted during those years as the logbooks have been re-created however. I sincerely regret this error on my part and should have caught it sooner. I normally take the pictures of the logbooks myself but in this instance I didn't and that is why I didn't pick this issue up earlier. I apologize for the original misrepresentation (and it was not intentional of course) and have corrected the Controller ad accordingly and the original ad on here as well. Additionally and as a result of this new discovery, the owner has agreed to reduce the asking price to $99,000. -Neal -
1985 M20K 305 Rocket Conversion (2421 TT / 348 SFRM)
Neal Schwartz replied to Neal Schwartz's topic in Aircraft Classifieds
Moodychief, If you are referencing the 11/5/86 landing incident that is in the FAA incident database, it is the belief of the current owner as well as the former owner (who bought the aircraft brand new from Mooney) that it is an error and that the wrong N number was used for that incident. I agree with both owners of the aircraft as well. Here is why we believe that incident to be for a different aircraft (and not for N5807W): The former owner bought the plane brand new from The Flightworks (a Mooney dealership in Van Nuys CA) on 11/19/85. The former owner told the current owner that he has no knowledge whatsoever of that incident and that there has never been an accident or incident with the plane in his period of ownership, which was from 11/19/85 through 8/12/14. There is no evidence of this incident in the logbooks or 337 records. The former owner (who lived in CA throughout his entire period of ownership with the plane) told the current owner today that he has never been to Lubbock, TX...which is the reported location of that 11/5/86 incident in the FAA database report. The incident report states that the pilot who was involved in the incident had 95 flight hours at the time of the incident. The former owner had more than 95 hours. The incident report states that the aircraft had 39 hours total flight time at the time of the incident. However, when you review the aircraft logbooks, it had 400 hours on 10/13/86 when it had its annual inspection for that year and 477.2 hours when it received its pitot/static and transponder certification check on 11/21/86. The incident occured on 11/5/86 yet the aircraft had an annual in CA on 10/13/86 and then flew 77 hours and had a pitot/static check in CA on 11/21/86. The timeline and math just doesn't add up. I am a firm believer in representing an aircraft with all of its positives and its negatives...this includes at least 75 photos, PDF's of the logbooks and AD list, and complete disclosure of any and all damage history. I've attached spec sheets of 2 Mooneys that I have sold recently that both had damage history and that damage history was discussed in detail in the spec sheet and ad and if I believed that this aircraft had damage history, I would have done the same here. I've attached the FAA incident database report for N5807W to this post as well as the FAA registration records corroborating the ownership history of when the original owner bought the aircraft from Mooney, etc. The aircraft logbook can be found in a link in the first post on this thread which will show the log entries for the time in question, etc. That all said, we are in the process of trying to obtain the actual FAA report from that incident which would have the pilot's name, address, etc. We are also going to get a notarized affidavit from the original owner corroborating all of the facts above. I fully understand why some may think this plane has damage history...since the FAA database says so...but in my opinion, I believe there is an error in this instance and the incident in question belongs to a different N number. -Neal N5807W - Accident-Incident SL-ai.pdf N5807W FAA Registration Records.pdf N201FX Spec Sheet.pdf N513DR Spec Sheet.pdf -
