Thank you for the response. No shoulder belts.

I am just not flying enough to justify owning my 1965 M20C. Looking at either selling or a possible partner. I am trying to get an idea of a realistic selling price. Any help would be appreciated, haven’t paid attention to the market since buying this. 6500tt 490smoh garmin 300xl terra nav/com old but does work kma24 Precision engineering intercom Old transponder in the panel pics has been replaced with Garmin transponder w adsb no major damage history w full logs.

Parts are ordered and the repair will soon be underway. Thabk you everyone for the help

You guys are the best. Thank you.

OMG you have no idea how much of a relief that is to hear. I was sick to my stomach thinking about the alternative.

So my AP found a crack where the flap arm mounts in the belly of the plane. I’m super worried this means the airframe is done for. Anyone with experience take a look at the pics and give any suggestions? Is this fixable or is the plane destined for the scrap heap?

I live in the Saratoga area, although I am up your way for work quite a bit. I do some fly fishing as well, mostly out on the lakes in the boat though.

I'd like to get into saltwater fishing, I do a few tips a year but always charters to the coast. I don't need to be too close to DC just within a few hours drive, I would prefer to not live in a city. Just need to travel in for $$$ and get out. I'll also be covering the rest of the state of VA and MD, so plenty of driving with my job. I'd prefer to be outside the SFRA zone and just avoid it altogether to make life easier. I am thinking someplace along the Chesapeake south of DC but I am not familiar with the area to know where a good mix of distance from the city but still a populous enough area where I can enjoy a little culture and night life. I'm ok with tying down as that is what I am stuck doing now in Upstate NY, although would prefer a hanger. Does anyone know anything about this area?

I do medical sales and I have a job opportunity covering Maryland, Virginia, and DC. I can basically live anywhere although a large part of my business will come out DC and the suburbiban areas to the south of DC. i am not familiar with the area and will be coming from upstate New York. I like to fish and fly so I would like to be near the water and a good reasonably priced GA airport. Anyone local to those areas with suggestions of where to look? I’m 36 and single so I wouldn’t hate an area with a good supply of attractive women either, haha. Thabk you for your help Mike

My plane did the exact same thing and those few drops slowley increased to more and more drips. It was exactly as piloto explained. Mechanical fuel pump diaphragm had cracked and the pump needed to be replaced. Verified by not being able to hold fuel pressure.

I’ve got an at50 that will slide in if you are interested. Worked fine when it was removed. Let me know.

You are more than welcome to come take a ride in my C if you’d like to see how it fits you.

I have an M20C based out of Saratoga. There are a handful of Mooney owners between Albany and Schenectady, with a couple more with me at Saratoga. I have not had any major service issues in my short ownership but have nothing but good things to say about the service guys at North American at Saratoga. Brian and his team are good guys. Hildt aviation has a great reputation but I believe they moved their aircraft maintainence to Bennington from Albany. Richmore does the service at Schenectady and is busy with their flight school planes and jet work. I have not heard much bad or good about them but they certainly do a lot of work and are busy. I feel like I would of heard horror stories if there was any. I know at least one M20J that uses them for service and has for at least 10 years with no issues.
