I know what you mean. She likes to work the Garmin but won't take the controls. She loves the flying and if we win the lottery I'm sure she will want me to upgrade to an acclaim. For now we are really happy with our new bird. Planning lots of trips in the future.

As I have only been flying our 20d/c for around 6 months I am on the steep side of the learning curve. On a normal flight we go VFR 7500 and 8500 at WOT 2500rpm 23 to 24" mp. The only egt is a single pick up with no temps indicated. I lean as a climb and once dialed in cruise I will lean until first sign of rpm drop then add a little to rich. I plan to upgrade my egt gauge in near future. Until then any thing bad with my current process?

Hi to all, yes we love our mooney I am still learning its quirks but I think it's one of the things that make old aircraft such living things. Still trying to sell the 150. Any one interested let me know its a real nice one. And this is no bull we get a TAS of 150 kph plus! And as a short body it's fun to fly. Now I get the fun of making it my own. The wife is a keeper and she likes to work the Garmin.

Just joined Mooney space would like to donate but I don't have a pay pal account is there another way?

Bought a c150 4 yrs ago to train. I tie down 100yds from lake aero styling. Well those guys are great. You can only imagine all the Mooney's I see. My wife said "we need a faster plane" how cool is that. Started looking on line for an upgrade and ended up with a converted m20d. I knew a mooney would be a good choice for our mission since I was lucky enough to go on many ferry flights to pick up various Mooney's for service. After some issues the best thing I heard from the Lake aero guys was "you got a fast one" Looking forward to many years of mooney fun.

Brand new member. We bought a 64 converted d model had lots of pros during the time we were getting things arranged for a per buy I mentioned to the owner of the shop that services my c150 the name of the a&p that had been maintaining our future mooney. He said don't waist your time just buy it! The guy was known as a super mech. Even won an oshkosh grand champion on a restored Waco. The plane needed annual soon after purchase my local shop is one of the most well known mooney service centers. They found to many things wrong to mention. Do the pre purchase no matter what. Good news when all was done our mooney is fantastic
