thx very much to everyone for the great input. I have a lot of issues that need looking into, I will let you know how it works out.

thanks to everyone so far. I have a very experienced pilot/mechanic friend helping me out. he says I should probably finish my training on a 172. However, I may buy the aircraft anyway. so I'm looking at all my angles. FYI, The Mooney has had a complete and thorough rebuild already (books say $28,000, new paint a few years ago, long range tanks installed, a number of other upgrades, as stated it will have a new annual, the prop will need to be done next year, its not listed anywhere for sale. thanks Sean

Subject: mooney m20e and a student pilot looking for some answers. I am a student pilot trying to achieve my ppl. I have been having difficulty putting in time due to lack of aircraft and so on, at my club. I have an opportunity to buy a really nice Mooney m20e super 21, it has a 0 hour engine and a new annual when the deal is done. My question is .......is this too much aircraft for me to get my license on or do I just expect to put more time in with my instructor to become proficient on this aircraft. any help will be appreciated. thank you in advance.
