  1. Does anyone have any info on N5726M, it is Listed on Trade-a-Plane. http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/aircraft/Single+Engine+Piston/1984/Mooney/M20J+201/2151083.html
  2. No less than 4 times. Downwind, Base, Final, and short final (threshold). I like the "point" part, and try to do that myself.
  3. Located in NW Florida. Really don't want a partner, selfish with my toys :-), and I'm always going to be worried of who is flying it. What is involved in pickling?
  4. What would the approx cost be to overhaul an engine (262 conversion) that has reached TBO?
  5. Ok, I have decided that I want to buy an airplane, a Mooney 201J. Don't want to discuss the pros cons or mission requirements. What I need is some advice from all you folks with experience, how do I handle been out of the country four to five months a year.
  6. Thanks all, this is the type of information I was looking for. Still think a J is my best choice for the mission I have in mind, short to mid trips, low altitude with no time constraint.
  7. I have pretty much made up my mind that a J will fill my needs, and have been looking for a couple of months. Now the question, with so many good deals on K's and a couple of Missiles are they really worth it if I don't really want to go high and mess with oxygen? I know I contradicted my first sentence but Just wondering what others would say.
  8. I could have written this post; everything you said, including where you are based, applies to me. I mad my decision a year or so ago and have been looking. I think I missed so good deals, but was out of the country at the time (currently out of the country). We should compare notes, once I get back in country.
  9. So, is it still for sale or not?
  10. Great info. Thank you all!
  11. What are the views on an engine that has 1200hrs, on an overhaul that is 25 years old?
  12. Has anyone use, or have any info on, Pristine Airplanes Plan A Plan program to purchase their aircraft?
  13. Thanks all for the sound advice. Seems liek more homework is in store for me so I can have a "real' picture of what I'm getting into. I am based in NW Florid(Niceville Destin area).
  14. Hello all, Brand new to the site, really enjoy reading all the posts. I have been doing research on purchasing an airplane ever since the wife did not object too much when I casually mentioned the topic. I have settled on a Mooney M20J as the aircraft best suited for our mission. I am lookign for any "hidden costs" associated with aircraft purchase and ownership in Florida. It seems there is always something that is overlooked or assumed when folks complete their purchase.
