Thanks Guys!

Hi Guys and Gals, I have been flying for 42 years (since I was 19...do the math). I've owned some plane of one type or another that entire time. This includes a Cherokee 140, Grumman Yankee, Cessna 172, Grumman Tiger and 20 plus Ercoupes. I became a broker for Ercoupes after I taught Jessica Cox to fly (see www.rightfooted.com). Jessica flys with her feet. I have a 1984 M20J in prebuy this week. I'm really excited about going fast for a change! As an aside, I had an old friend who bought an Ercoupe in 1952. Ercoupes cruise at 105 MPH. He told me when they needed to get someplace fast they would take "The Coupe". Otherwise they would fly the J3 Cub! If all goes well with the pre-buy, I would like to find a CFI in the area of Kokomo, Indiana I can hire to introduce me to the Mooney. I estimate 3 to 5 hours will do the trick but I want to feel comfortable in the plane so will do whatever that takes. I'm a CFII with 4000 hours but no Mooney time and not a lot of retract time. If you know of anyone, please let me know. I thought that MAPA had a training program but I can't even seem to join MAPI when I go to their site. It says "Membership Subscription Area: Coming Soon!" Thanks for any help. Glen Davis 917 297 1111 cell Call or text

I have a 1984 M20J in for a prebuy right now. Do the back seats on this year and model fold down flat? If so, was that standard or an option? Thanks, Glen

Need HELP. I have a deposit on a M20J in Kokomo, Indiana. I want to have a Mooney savvy mechanic do the prebuy. Any suggestions? Thank you. Also, what is the rough price to reseal tanks at one of the tank speciality shops, should I need that down the road? This is a 1984 and the tanks are not leaking now but...... Glen 917 297 1111 cell
