Thank you all again for the help and recommendations.... Very, very, helpful indeed! Vinton

thanks everyone. I think it's time to throw my hat in the ring with the rest of the Mooniacs.! Vinton

Thank you very much. Your previous flying experience fits mine exactly and I have no more questions. This is my first post on mooney space and what a help it has been! Congratulations on your new plane and my compliments to the administrators of mooneyspace! Thanks for the quick responses from both of you.

Thank you. Committed at $105K for a beautiful 1984 M20J. Unfortunately cannot find a ride here in Atlanta, at least with the folks I know. Sold a SR20 share early last year and looking to go it my own this time around. Wanted a Mooney ever since reading about them in Bax seat years ago in Flying. Have 50 or so hours complex and 550 TT. It seems to be a good fit for my kind of flying which is mostly me and occasionally my wife. Kids on their own now. Thanks again. No Bravo or Ovation time either. A real Mooney newbie

I would appreciate a word or two of wisdom for a Cessna/Cirrus pilot who is very close to purchasing his first M20J. Always thought I wanted a Mooney but when I finally sat in one I felt closed in. Is this just a perception that others have felt, but get over, or is it just one of the compromises one must make for the efficiency, speed, and handling of a Mooney? Thank you.. Just wanted to ask before I spend a good deal of cash. Thank you very much
