    We can’t find ya :/ walked the perimeter but no love.

    Got caught up in a party at Scholler. Where you guys end up parking?

    Ms. Buddhist and I will drop by from the Vintage barn. We'll bring our fair share to contribute and would love to chat to some M20C owners!

    Great looking plane!
  6. Rudest Buddhist
    Where are the non-Mooney planes coming in for the fly-in parking? Should I just hide the 182 in the back of the group?
  7. Rudest Buddhist
    This is awesome.

    Registered with a +1. See you there!

    I'm going to fly a 182 in and pick the brains of C and E owners if that's alright with you guys!

    Awesome write-up. Thanks for the details!

    I always heard the rule of thumb for twins is “it’s not 2x the cost. It’s 4x the cost”. Curious what actual experience has been though.
  13. Rudest Buddhist
    Can some of the prior twin owners dive in a bit on cost to operate? I'm no where near TN but I've got a fascination with twins. Although I've only flown a Piper Apache. @KLRDMD mentioned costs close to a M20E, we're talking ~25K all in for 200 hours? @aviatoreb what kind of numbers were you seeing with your Twinkie?

    Let me know when / if you decide to sell your M20C. I may be interested. I grew up outside Osseo, WI but live in Los Angeles now. Could be a fun ferry flight to bring it back out here.
  15. Rudest Buddhist
    Yes sir! Wanted to see if you’d catch that.

    Nice! I actully used to actually spy your yolobird from our tie downs at Upper South. I'm a 150TT PPL, just had my first BFR so been flying for 2 years. Short term plan is to finish my Instrument Rating and then start building time in that Dubois' M20B or head out to Tehachapi and rent BFCs' M20C.
  17. Rudest Buddhist
    Nice added to the list. 10 hours with a CFI would help me out after I finish my Instrument Rating.
  18. Rudest Buddhist
    Wow. $2400 / yr in MX + annual would be amazing.
  19. Rudest Buddhist
    Nice! That’s good news. I’m going to scope out this rental M20B in the next few weeks to check the cabin size. I currently allocate ~$1500 / month to cover hanger, MX, and fuel. Flying 10 - 15 hours a month. Obviously the first few years are going to have higher MX than normal but do those numbers sound about right?

    Good to hear, sounds like that might be an option as I'm 5' 10" 140lbs (skateboarder build). I love flying passengers but getting a C over an F might allow me to spend that much more on the panel and the first five years of MX that comes up.

    Thanks for responses everyone. Added some of these shops to my list. LASAR seems fantastic for annuals. @TheTurtle Yep, reason I'm looking at the F model (or possibly G) is that roomier backseat. I like to fly co-workers from my office out for lunch once a week and I don't think the C or E would be comfortable enough. I'm going to take that B model at Dubois up a few times to verify though.
  22. Rudest Buddhist
    Thanks for the response everyone. Sounds like IR + total time is the best use of my time right now. Sounds like Mike Jesch out of Fullerton is the goto Mooney CFI in SoCal? Anyone in CA have any recommendations on a decent Mooney A&P? @Simon @Skates97

    Nice! I was one of the last guys out of Justice. Joe had his retirement party ~4 months after I got my ticket. That school was the best, ended up with a private in 44 hours after the check ride.
  24. Rudest Buddhist
    Was it a gradual drop or did they set you at 2.8% until you crossed 200hrs RT?
  25. Rudest Buddhist
    That's what I thought. These rates are crazy: http://duboisaviation.com
