  1. My club (KTKI) has an A&P (and PPL) they use for all their maintenance (he also owns one of the club C172s). They all rave about him, but no sure his Mooney expertise. Happy to get his info if you would like.
  2. Thank you for all the help guys! Yes, mine (soon) has the tail with the beak on the top. Looks like it was relativity minor in the logs. Airframe indicates belly panels replaced with no damage to tube-frame; Engine indicates compliance with AD 2004-10-14 prop strike inspection; conspicuously there is nothing in the prop log... There is a 100hr inspection about 13 months before the incident and then 1mo after: "I certify that this propeller has been inspected IAW an annual inspection." Every year after that it has the annual inspection. About 50hrs a year average since the incident. My first instructor was a stickler for pattern speeds. He said if I ever wanted to fly anything fast and land somewhere short you need to know how to nail pattern speeds. Learning in NorCal there are a lot of fun places to see with less than 2400' to land. Not a problem in a C162 or C172; a little trickier in a Piaggio! Gren
  3. Fellow Aviators, Long time listener; first time caller... I recently took a job a long way down the road and will commute weekly. Figured it was time to move on from my local club to buy my own wings of glory. Mooneys have been the only birds I've been interested in owning personally (until of course I can afford a Falcon 2000). Wednesday I'm going to inspect and potentially purchase a 1970 M20F (Technically, an Aerostar. Am I still allowed here?) and there are a couple of questions (some important; some of trivial): - Is Positive Control is on all pre-J M20's - Anything particular about it being an Aerostar I should be aware of? - How concerned is everyone with a previous gear up landing? The engine was not overhauled; they just complied with the prop strike AD. Engine has had a little over 400hrs since the incident. The A&P that did the recent annual said the tube frame all looked good on the bottom. - Everyone seems to whine about how difficult Mooneys are to work on. Should I expect to pay a premium for repairs? Any help or opinions are appreciated! All the Best, Gren
