Hey guys, just wanted some help and tips on flying a 252 versus a M20. It will be my first time flying a turbo aircraft, I have over 800 hours in a M20F. Any tips and advice for flying it would be appreciated. It will be a cross country, planning to take advantage of the altitude and use oxygen.

Hey guys, The current owner I fly for who currently owns a Comanche 250, wants to upgrade his plane. His mission is based out of PBI and the usual trips are weekly to New Orleans, and mainly to Philly and New Jersey. He also always loads his plane max gross so a plane which a high useful load is a must, also a good cruise speed and range is a must in order to fly direct to Philly and such and also in the future be able to make crossings to Europe. His budget is about 400K, a couple of my options right now is a Cessna 421C, Cessna 414, possibly an Aerostar? Lemme know with your reasons and operating costs with the aircraft.

We bought he plane at 400 hours it had been sitting a while before that

Operated great on the ground, will idle at 600 but normally keep it above 1000, flying it around 400 hours a year.

I know a lot of people on this site, Jake at Daytona aircraft Service is highly recomended! Been with them over a year, and as a Mooney Service Center, they truly care about customer service and quality work, be sure to stop by!

When the problem starts to occur right on final every time it does, I make sure my rpm is full, but if I try to give it power the plane starts to shake and won't give me full power, and I do not have an engine monitor

Full rpm, low altitude, mixture rich, oil temp is good and chts are good

It's the strangest thing, I know it shouldn't be related to the oil level

Hey guys my plane came out of annual about a month ago, ever since then I noticed that when I fly if the oil gets to under 6 quarts when I decend to the airport after flying as soon as I get to the airport and am about to land, I notice the oil pressure will drop to about 50 which is still within means and my engine starts shaking and not producing full power?? Please help

Hey guys I'm finishing up commercial training in my Mooney and my instructor is unfamiliar with Mooneys and how to configure the airplane and the speeds to use for the maneuvers as well as power settings. If you guys could just put any tips you have and as well speeds for certain maneuvers such as lazy eights, accelerated stalls, and eights on pylons, I appreciate anything I can get.

I'm flying it pretty much every day.

Hey guys I've been flying for a little while now and I'm finishing up my commercial here this month. While I'm still a relatively new pilot with about 600tt and 450 being in a Mooney, as well as a type rating in the Citation 500. I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the path of doing some ferry work either for mooneys or any planes. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Would you recommend I switch to w100?

Hey guys currently on my M20F I use 15w50, I hange the oil and filter every 25 hours and I'm currently seeing oil burn of 1qt every 5-6 tach hours and as it gets closer to 25 I'm seeing 1qt every like 2/3 hours. I was wondering if i were to switch to a different oil what effect that would have and is that a good idea?

Hey guys I have a check ride on Friday and I forgot to update my navigation card in my 430. I was wondering if someone could send me one and I could send them a check?

Ended up replacing the starter.

Hey guys so the other day I was pulling back to the ramp after a usual flight and I pulled the mixture like usual to shutdown and it got a little lower rpm but still kept spinning?? It wouldn't shut off until I just turned it off by the mags?

Hey guys some of you know me and some dont but ill share a little about me, Im 18 currently in school, my family has a 1967 M20F that I love flying the dickens out of! Im currently around 500tt with around 30multi time, my goal for the summer is to work for a company in Lauderdale that flys twins and requires 100multi. I was posting this to see if anyone knew where I could rent a multi for not an arm and a leg, or if anyone on here has a multi that they would like a flying buddy who would pay for the gas? Happy New Year guys!

I'll be honest I'm not sure

I had a friend pick me up, but yes it's still their and they say a mechanic won't be there till Monday.

Hey guys the other day I took a routine flight to get gas at Airglades 2IS, fueled up and then got in my plane to go and tried starting and heard nothing but a buzz and not even the starter trying to turn over, it's a brand new starter just a few months old. We thought it was the battery so we went today and replaced the battery with a new Concord battery and cleaned any corrosion off the connections and tried and still just made a buzzing sound when trying to start, we even tried hand starting and got nothing?? Any ideas?? IMG_1916.MOV

Hey guys I was wondering for those at Oshkosh if any know a good place that I can buy a power bank? The thing to mobile charge your phone??

Hey I was wondering if mooney had a dinner or any event for mooney guys or if some of you would just want to meet up?

Hey guys in my plane recently when I takeoff and climb and cruise I hear this sound that sounds like someone is flapping a deck of cards through and it's a constant tone. Sounds like something is loose or something if someone could please help?
