    Let's see...6 Cylinders, 300lbs more in useful load, 6 Seats, 160 Kts Cruise @ 11.5 GPH ROP......Its a move up to a High Performance Complex aircraft. I routouinely fly 4 people (2 of which are kids that are 7 and 12 who are growing). Useful load is a big deal. Listen I love my Mooney but the lack of Useful load and the climb performance at airports with High DA (6,000 - 8,000 ft MSL) at max gross will have you puckered for sure.

    I bought a 7 8 201J model two years ago. The previous owner had a lot of work to the airplane the three previous years prior to me buying it. New paint New interior New avionics. He had lost his medical and instead of flying the airplane he had all the work done to the airplane. It had about 1300 hrs. on the engine and 100 hours on the Prop. I took a gamble and bought the airplane. I paid for the avionics to paint the interior and an air frame that had no major damage history. I flew the airplane for not quite, eight months and having about 80 hours of flight time on it I lost the engine in the airplane and had to invest another $30,000 putting a new motor in the plane. So the good news is I have a virtually brand-new 1978 aircraft. The bad news is I had to invest a lot of money to get there. I would never buy another airplane that had not been flying frequently. My Mooney was a steppingstone aircraft for me. To build time get my instrument rating and move to a high-performance, complex aircraft. I have done that and my Mooney is now for sale. I have flown a lot and worked all the bugs out of it. But as they say, you get what you pay for. https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/18691959/1978-mooney-m20j-201 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks....I will get under my instrument panel tomorrow and get a closer look. These switches have breakers in them; don't they?
  8. JCD
    Excellent. I am not sure which ones they are . My Mooney is a 1978 but had the panel redone 5 years ago (Prior Owner). Which is which in the the picture of the two switches?
  9. JCD
    Are these Klixon or ETA Switches?
  10. JCD
    Amen! Those Rocker Switches are expensive!!!!

    Yes it was. I fly in and out of KCHD Often. If you want to look at it I am based out of 5AZ3. Justin 480-254-7627

    bluehighwayflyer is right. I am willing to entertain an offer but be realistic and justify it. Lots of haters out here it seems. When you put pencil to paper reality will set in.....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The STEC 30 in this plane has altitude hold and can fly the approach just not the glide slope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I love my Mooney and wish I could have found a 6 cylinder Mooney with 1100-1200 lb useable load but I think I have a better chance catching a Unicorn. So I am going to go to a Piper Comanche 260B. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
