thanks! - Is there a catalog of parts from Mooney or somewhere else. I used to have one from a company in Houston when i had a Grumman Tiger.

Great points! I'm fighting to go Mooney... and this was the only reason that was holding me back. Being in Beech-Country (Kansas), I get all the FUD from my Bo friends... but all who secretly want a Mooney Thanks all - Ok... now to go find me a nice M20K - '84 preferably. On the hunt...

I was reading the availability of elevators as an example... "there are none"??? not that I would ever need any, but if some idiot in a gas truck ran into me (it happens), then what - I'm w/out a plane for months, until the factory custom makes one? Now that's scary....

thanks guys for your thoughts. Is there a main supplier with catalog, like I can get with other planes? Who are they?

All - I'm in the middle of buying a plane and it's coin toss between a Bonanza vs. Mooney. I want the Mooney more than the Bo... but scared that I can't get parts and must have the plane available every week. I can't afford to have my plane waiting for weeks on end for some part that nobody can find! Is this really an issue?
