Hi, I am new to this forum. A friend of mine wants to step up to a turbo fiki single engine airplane. Climate control not necessary (payload). Considering Mooney. No previous expierence at all with Mooney. His budget is around 350 to 400K USD. So: 1) what to buy? 2) what to consider? 3) expectations? 4) pre-buy suggestions 5) weaknesses/strengts of the suggested airplane 6) any other considerations welcome. Thanks. John Zeeuw

Hi, I am new to this forum. A friend of mine wants to step up to a used young turbo fiki single engine. Available budget around 400.000 usd. He is interested in speed, height, a good autopilot (not the 55x), a high payload (so no climate control?). He has no expierence on neither with Mooney airplanes. So: What what to buy? What to consider? What to look at during pre-buy inspection? and so on.... Any advise/thoughts welcome. Thanks. John Zeeuw
