    I notice it doesn't have the normal Throttle-Prop-Mix controls, is this like a car, just turn the key and go? I notice what I think is the throttle control stolen off a DC-9 or something?

    The other take away is you need to upgrade

    Ah, didn't know that. thx

    I assumed they were laying down sodium salt like they do with roads, looks like they use potassium instead, although there still would be corrosion concerns: From airport-technology.com:

    Y'all do know that they will have autonomous cars, supposedly by 2020...

    For comparison, this same broker has a 84 trophy conversion with 1400 hrs, 430 WAAS + MX-200 for $98.5K http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20K-252TSE/1984-MOONEY-M20K-252TSE/1293363.htm

    There is very little salt in coastal air except right on the beach where the salt water gets atomized, you should be more worried about northern climates where salt is applied to runways. There are lots of older florida cars around, none are suffering from corrosion, but many paint jobs are suffering from the exposure to the sun.

    That plane is also listed on controller.com by Scott macdonald broker. It's got 1900 hours on it so I would assume its runout, it's been stored in a private hanger Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    A little sarcasm with a hint of truth...wasn't there someone who posted they were going to wax their firewall?

    Don't forget the cascade effect: First, you paint it, but now the interior looks really bad, so new interior (seats, etc), but now the instrument panel looks really bad, and what's the point of having a new interior/exterior with an engine with 1800 hrs on it....
  12. ArtVandelay
    Is it going to be stored in a hanger? No point painting it and then letting it sit outside.

    Why aren't you suppose to touchdown with them deployed??

    I heard he was moving, not expanding, but that info was 2nd hand

    You THINK she'd tolerate it?!? There is an old saying "Happy Wife, Happy Life" . If it were me, I would have a heart to heart talk...a older mooney that you can take on short hops around and occasional short trip might serve you better. With the extra $ money you save you can upgrade it to make it your own

    If you're going turbo, you need to fly high, you need to be on Oxygen, better talk that over when any significant others you want to bring along, some people don't like small planes, and telling them they need to wear a mask or cannula on top of that?!

    Be careful for what you wish for, if they did bring the J back, it might make the value of your J less

    The 6 cyl turbo is more expensive to maintain This is typical Fl weather: FL OMN-PBI..BKN030 BKN050 TOP FL280. VIS 4SM SCT -SHRA BR/WDLY SCT -TSRA. CB TOP FL420. OTLK...VFR SHRA TSRA You'll have trouble flying above that. That said, if the costs don't bother you, turbo gives you options.

    It's funny you say that, here in Florida you will see lots of 231s for sale, but not many 201s
  20. ArtVandelay
    They are going to have to go to composite construction and maybe use turbo diesel engine like new 182s

    79 - gear collapse according to pilot (probably not extended) 84 - crash because of fuel starvation (this generated NTSB investigation) 09 - nose wheel snapped off
  22. ArtVandelay
    This plane had 3 FAA incidents prior to this... RIP
  23. ArtVandelay
    Do they much affect at landing speeds?
  24. ArtVandelay
    fantom's neck of FL is where?
  25. ArtVandelay
    I'm guessing the deadbeat owner doesn't know about the court order and they don't want the owner flying the plane to another country where repossession would be difficult
