Hi all. Found a buyer and going through sales process. Thanks for all the interest! Cheers, Troy

Apollo. Nothing wrongwith engine or prop. I simply don't have the luxury to wait for another 6 months to sell. I have too many other important things to do and a promise to my father, to help him take care of costs with his piper. I will miss flying a mooney, that's for sure.

I think teejayevens hit the nail on the head. One could invest 10k in repairs and have a nice aircraft, then plug in another 20 for new paint and avionics. This has no major corrosion. I'm going to miss this airplane, dearly, but it's really an economic issue for me. We need to pay off some debt and get a new/used car for my wife. I appreciate the trade thought, but I'm really not In a position for trade. This market is a very soft one, as well.

im just very fortunate to have a wife who tolerates all of my flying endeavors....but the paragliding thing is still a tense issue.

Thank you for the advice on photos. I've posted some here before, but it's not a great place for numerous photos, and they always get flipped upside down. This aircraft is not rated for acrobatics.

Here is original post Great 1981 M20J for sale With great pains, I am finally putting my mooney up for sale. She has been amazing, but due to growing family and aging car fleet, we have decided to sell. My father and I share in another aircraft, so I'll stay in the air....just not in the style I grew spoiled, over the last few years. N1016S was owened by a general surgeon, for over 10 years prior to me. She was always hangared, and pampered with general maintenance, as only a person with money could muster. I'm sad to part, but it's time...here are details; Full logs available 1981 Mooney M20J 201 Serial #24-1109 price was $61,000 lowered to $55,000 Engine Overview: 200HP, Lycoming IO-360 Total Time 3254.00 I still fly every week to every other week. 176 hours since SPOH (lower end) 1299 SMOH Zero time prop installed 2014 with about 70 hours time, running great!

Hangered Weed CA O46. I've taken off about 20% asking price due to gear-up over a year ago. All new skins and everything replaced...perhaps better condition now due to zero time prop and engine inspection, gear/bolt change. Runs very smooth, and I've been all over california with my family, without concerns. Mechanic says it's one of the smoother running lycoming that he has seen. Oil consumption approximately 0.3 quarts/hour, but has remained the same since 2011. Please PM me at Patroy@live.com for more information. I have iCloud account with photos and video available. I've definitely dropped price for quick sale.

See listing under "great mooney for sale" Had a prebuy at LASAR, just last week. Found quite a few minor problems with easy fixes, may require some work at annual, this March. A couple gear related issues. This is a great project airplane, and ready/airworthy to fly home. I've disscussed squawk list with my mechanic, and he didn't sound worried. The poor gentleman who ordered the prebuy found himself in the midst of a divorce, before it was even started by the service center. I'm happy to entertain questions from serious potential buyers. I'll be advertising on eBay, this weekend as well. Many of your questions can be answered on prior post. Photos through Dropbox upon request. Please send me your email address if you're interested. I can send prebuy inspection or post on Dropbox. Cheers

I'm based in northern Cali

That sounds like fun. I ferried a piper 180 from east Ohio to Northern California in February. Cold trip, but we had heated hanger in Iowa. You want to make sure she is well preheated, as you probably know. I'm commercially rated, so if things fall through, let me know...,I my be up for the task. I fly an m20j.

I'm with the rest of the gang. I've been into some small strips with my m20j 201. Hoopa is about 2,300' with a river on one end and broken pavement. No trees. I'm glad, because I have to drag it in at close to stall speed and aim for numbers. It's doable but takes precision....one time carrying an extra 5 knots and float for another 100' I'm 6'3" and have tons room. I love my plane, but time to sell. Let me know if you're interested.

I've had a few inquiries...get it while it's hot! See original post from a week ago.

Tanks are factory capacity. No bladders. I noticed that mentioning tank size was something mentioned on other sales lists. As for the rifle....I had to ski and shoot with it, then my wife used it later to make a point.

Lake shastina has really gone to pot with drought...much like ukiah all the time. As for the rifle lady that's my wife. We flew down to mammoth for a biathlon last winter. Amazing views over southern sierras and plane ran great! This is a good deal, because I don't want to sit on it for a long time, so definitely priced to sell.
