M20C66Q

Mooney M20 CFI here, based in Mesa, AZ. We may have already spoken... Happy to help if you are still looking - 480-371-6121 Thx

I flew those Super Cubs out of CHD. I recall starting those with both mags switches (ON).

Update - Mooney is all put back together and flying. This set up has been amazing and very easy to use. Finding something new it does every time I fly!

Trever Lilya and Alan Henson will be joining in.

Engine mounted and now the panel install begins! Will report back with panel pics, I think the first Mooney to have the G3X installed

Getting closer!

M20C Panel re-due to accommodate GTN 750/650 combo and G3X w/EIS. Maybe the first vintage Mooney with a G3X .

I will be sure to share before and after pictures. It should be completed around early June. The engine is off, too, getting OH ... The Clock is the MD93 USB/Clock, it is really there for just the two USB ports it provides.

Currently in the process of installing a Garmin G3X in my '65 M20C, along with some other upgrades. Take a look at my cad drawing that is to scale. N5866Q Panel.pdf

I am very happy I did the panel upgrade due to the list of things I found behind there (e.g., loose wires, dirt, poor grounds, extra headphone jacks, and many other things that were very concerning). Overall 53 years of history was wiped clean with this new panel. The new panels took about two weeks to cut and ship. I also decided to send my engine monitor to the factory for a new face to make sure everything looked pretty on my new panel (added a week). Then when it came down to rebuilding I decided to have all the wiring redone (might as well) along with all new CB's. What added the most time was deciding on what to install in the panel but I kept it simple with the G5 and ADS-B transponder (the GTX 335 W/WAAS will slave to the G5 for WAAS GPS FYI). If you have everything ready to go I am sure you could have a new panel done in a month. I kind of made decisions along the way which caused delays and added shipping time. Plus I am not too eager to fly in Texas during the 100 degree days so not a terrible loss of flight time. If you are ever in Houston area and want to check it out, please let me know. I am happy to review the entire process with anyone. I truly enjoyed the panel re-do and now I know so much about what is behind those panels (pre J). Total 65 hours TT on the panel redo

My 1965 Mooney M20C #3141 with a fresh new panel. Took about 90 days from start to finish & $10K. It is modern and ADS-B equipped.
