Hello all!
This is my first post. I am looking at buying a mooney. I have never bough an airplane before and have so many questions.
1961 M20B,
SN 1746, TT 4026, SMOH 1402, Prop 1394, Fresh Annual, Paint 5, Leather Interior 5, All Compressions in 70s,
KX-155, TKM MK-11, KA-134, STA 400,
New Brake Pads & Rotors & Wheel Bearings, Concord Battery, Fuel Flow Meter. No Fuel Tank Leaks.
What kinds of things should I be asking the person selling this aircraft? The last annual was done in April.
How many hours can a prop have? How many hours until I have to overhaul the engine. I've read around 1800, but can't find anything difinitive....
The plane is in Mexico. What should I do for a preinspection? I am hesitant to ask the owner to arrange one simply based on the fact that he may find a biased mechanic.
Basically, is this aircraft owrth buying? What else should I know? Thanks!
