Hello All, I am in the process of purchasing my first Mooney. A '79 M20K 231 that has been sitting here for sale at my local airport (1T7) for over a year. Sounds bad but as you may know 1T7 is the home of All American Aircraft so I get to see a lot of beautiful mooneys come and go. This one has the looks, the maintenance logs and engine upgrades but lacks in the avionics department. Which I believe is the reason it has been sitting for so long. After discussing the plane at length with the on field mechanic, I decided to take the plunge and put a contract on it. I have to say, after flying the past two years in the training/rental planes and then my own C-172rg, this thing is amazing to fly and unless something ridiculous comes up in the pre-buy...it will be mine. I plan to fly it with the lacking panel as-is for the time being and then sell one of my other toys (39 Ford w/blown 502...hit me up for pics if your interested) to invest in the avionics. Anyway, that's my story and I'm glad to be here.
Thanks,
df
