It could be connected to a gtx 345r if one is installed.

Yes. It will have the same drain and housing as the main tanks now.

Price should be $4,995 for all kits. It does not have to be installed by a specific shop however there are a few people who have done them before and it is recommended to have someone with experience in Mooney fuel tanks do the work.

The long range fuel tanks have been brought up a few times lately and I wanted to let everyone know the STC is going to continue to be available. Don Maxwell Aviation along with a partner has purchased the STC from Jose and is currently putting kits together to be available by the end of the year. Our current run of kits will be a total of 30 and if you’re interested in purchasing a kit you can contact myself at Don Maxwell Aviation or Kellen Kester at (812) 240-6223. We hope to have these available as soon as possible.

72 gallon tanks. It was a k model wing bolted where the short body mooneys were attached. It has a Porsche tail cone and a mustang tail.

300hp at 2700rpm. We are looking at mag options now.

Engine is overhauled. Can’t wait to fire this thing up.

About 600 feet. He turned 45 degrees and landed on the other runway.

Still learning about it. Tom Bowen said they didn’t get the contract because the roll rate was not high enough and later they tested some other positions with the friese ailerons which allowed a 7 second roll rate but caused the airplane to be dangerous at slow speeds. The airplane was flown after Tom and some other employees put it back together. It was flown regularly by some of the Mooney employees. The configuration it is currently in would be too dangerous and it will be either converted back to the slower roll rate or maybe even a regular aileron and flap. We are still waiting on more data to make that determination.

We picked up the Mooney predator this weekend so we can make it fly again. Out of all of the restoration projects we’ve done this will probably be the most exciting Mooney we’ve worked on and I’m going to keep this thread updated with our progress as much as I can. With the help of some former and current Mooney employees who have worked on it we hope to have it flying soon with maybe a few updates along the way and hopefully those who have dreamed of fly it will get a chance.

I don’t think it’s available for the bravo. It does support the 4.9 terrain database which is required when you upgrade. It has the software where you can add the Mid continent SAM backup instruments and a the keypad. Also the gdl 69a Sxm. Flight stream software was not included unfortunately.

Plane has tks. Poh explains difference in blue pitot heat lights and amber lights.

Mooney owns it. It can be bought and installed through a service center. List price is $799.

Its finally available for those interested.
