Filippo

And finally, here you are my beatiful airplane. like I promised a quick preview and more to follow

Thank you very much

Thanks, do you lean during climb or do you keep take off power? Or 2500 34MP? thanks again

That was very similar to what I have seen but I was at 5000 ft... thanks

I'm monitoring TIT , which TIT you generally like?. Do you follow lycoming and Mooney recommendation with peak TIT or 1650/ 1750 max, depend on the case? i know you are very experience and read a lot of your post... thanks filippo

Engine has 200 hours after overhaul for sudden stop. Everything is fine compression of all cylinder are 78/80 . i'm not a fan of ROP, too high internal pressure and on top great risk of detonation.... but I'm listening to all recommendations. thanks

Good afternoon, almost ready to get my future new airplane. Pre-buy in progress. I flown her yesterday to bring her to the mooney shop for the pre-buy. i spent a lot of time, in the past couple of week, reading all different posts. is anyone using the G1000 lean feature with the M20M Bravo ? I have seen the G1000 manual says "available only for not turbocharged engine, for turbocharged M20M use POH." I tried yesterday and I have noticed the garmin give you a pick and then a delta variation from pick with a minus if you keep leaning . Yesterday I tried with 30 MP and 2400 rpm and peak -30/-50 and that was giving me an TIT of about 1580-1600, CHT at around 360-370 .... if I was going more than that temperature were rising drastically and in a couple of second so I stop there, speed was around 175, altitude 5000 and fuel flow 19.3.I didn't try numbers on the sun visor, because they were recommending to set about 16 gph at 32 MP and 2400 and below 18.5 like I mentioned before, TIT was increasing very rapidly. Is there a better way or a recommended way which is not the POH at peak Temp or best power? i'd like my engine to last so no mooney recommended numbers... at least for me....by the way no GAMI and Tempest just original equipment for now. also shame on me I didn't take any picture of my to be soon baby ..... but promise I will post soon. thanks Filippo

Can I get it also?? thanks filippo.grosoli@gmail.com

Great tread, long to read but very good info. Can I ask an update in pricing for however already did it? - option 2 waas update with ads-b compliance total spent and which avionic shop - only 345R installation with dedicated waas antenna, without garmin 1000 waas upgrade thanks filippo

Absolutely, actually will be a full annual inspection and seller will be responsible for all airworthy squawks

I had cash in hand, but needed financing for a certain portion and I don't like yo waste people time if I don't everything lined up. For some reason, first lender messed up with numbers, second one approved me in a day after submitting all documents already presented to first lender. Don, you are correct Stec 55 are approved for enroute Waas but still not for GPS approach at LPV minimum. Upgrade will be around probably 20K but consider purchase price, for a 2005, equipped like it is, it is well below appraised value. Lender appraised at 240K. Any thoughts? I honestly haven't seen anything in the market priced so aggressively. You have to admit that if everything else checks good is a lot of value for the money. Yes it has 2 incidents...a gear up and a prop strike.... that was honestly why was my second choice at the beginning , but I like the idea of a 2005 with only 700 hours.... will need ads-b out by 2020 and eventually WAAS. Back to you, I value your opinions guys. thanks again Filippo

I didn't get my pre-approval in time, so unfortunately that is gone and my next option is this one, any thoughts? going to check it next week all the way to the east coast filippo https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/1458355/2005-mooney-m20m-gx-bravo

Hi Don, nice to virtually meet you... I completely agree with you. Andy, like I mentioned in my short introduction , I have flown most of my career ,jet airplane in the military, but I kept myself active as a flying instructor as well in my spare time. I usually like to teach advance acrobatic, formation and spins.... I guess my test pilot background got me there :-)))) but I will never ever fly with a single engine in any know icing condition , regardless if I have TKS, hot prop or boots...or someone sitting on my wings scrapping ice off :-)))). if by mistake I fall asleep and I get into icing condition I immediately get out ( 180, climb descent or whatever it takes). Single engine in icing and most likely in clouds.... not for me. I value my life and I can assure you I did a lot of stupid things, especially during test flights to bring fighters outside their flying envelope, to assess new limits with change of configuration. anyway... back to planet earth , for this specific reason, I prefer to have more weight for fuel than tsk system and fluid, especially in a plane where payload is limited. my previous airplane was a Cessna 310 turbo Q, with all anti ice equipments and even there I was avoiding ice. On my daily job, I also stay away from ice with passengers if I can. Most of the time, ice is associated with clouds and bumpy air and all this elements are not making corporate passengers happy. Just a thought

Thanks

John, will be great. I'm flying back from Vancouver tomorrow and will be in San Diego all week. I will land in SNA on Thursday as well but I don't know yet how long will stay. Free on the weekend as well and leaving again Monday for a week..... thank you very much !!! I don't know site rules about exchanging personal email or cell , so before doing it I ask about it. thanks again filippo

Good afternoon, First of all very interesting site and I see there are a lot of people with knowledge here. My name is Filippo and I live in San Diego with my wife. I was debating for long time between a Bonanza and a Mooney and I finally decided to go with a 1999 Mooney M20M bravo. i did like the sexy V35B but at the end I love skiing and snowboarding and I was in need of a turbocharged single engine to go over those high peak around CA and UT with some stretching to CO. I was concern about payload at the beginning, but at the end of the game is always me, my wife , snowboards and few clothes.... and we can do fuel stop.... so I can go to the bathroom :-) i will have a lot of questions in the following week, so be patient with me. so starting from the beginning: this is the winner : https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/17384411/1999-mooney-m20m-gx-bravo anybody know a good shop for a prebuy in Boise Idaho? Any CFI in that area for my insurance endorsement requirement ? I'm an ATP and CFI-I but I like to do things right . I started flying in 1992 and spent 22 years in the airforce flying fighters and now I fly corporate (just a quick background ). any comment on this specific airplane? Anything I should know on the specific model? thanks again for your time and looking forward to be a good member of the group Filippo
