100 hrs/yr and 10-15 hrs of dual at a minimum.

I owned a Cessna 340 for about 10 years. Pressurized and known icing. Was flying it long distances frequently and loved it! Best airplane ever! But once I got back to more recreational flying it was a little expensive so I bought a Mooney. Love the fuel burn and I now fly whenever I want to without spending $300 on a gas evety time I fly. What airplane you buy and are happy with all depends on your mission. Twins are wonderful airplanes if you don't mind t br e cost. They are a real buy on the market today. Cheaper than a single.

Never do anything from memory. Always use a checklist. It's too easy to get distracted and forget important things.

Very informative thread! I'm in the market for an engine heater since I bought my C in Atlanta last year and it is now in Massachusetts where winter heating is an absolute necessity. Looks like Reiff has a nice system.

Really bad for the BMW! Was always in the shop with $2,000-$3,000 repair bills! Fun car but felt like I was maintaining another airplane. Finally got rid of the BMW....

Entice looking 310! I had a Q model a number of years ago. They are real traveling machines. Enjoy!!

Looks like a new late-model Mooney!

Very cool to keep track and land your own aircraft in all 50 states! Congratulations! I read a book a number of years ago authored by a guy who hit all 49 states with his son in a Stearman. It was a very cool trip. I've hit most east coast states, Bahamas, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland and England. Would love to put it all on a map. How do we get that cool map that some of you have on your profiles showing states visited?

How many Mooneys do you have on your field?
Mooney-Mark replied to StinkBug's topic in General Mooney Talk
Only 2 in my hangar at KCEF, my M20C and a late model Ovation that I am drooling over... -
I did BasicMed with my primary care physician last year during my regular annual physical. No problem, it was a piece of cake! I would highly recommend it if you have a PCP who you see on a regular basis.
-
I would compare my 68 M20C to a Porsche or BMW. Sexy, fast, sporty but a little cramped in the rear seats. My BMW costs about the same amount to maintain as my Mooney!
-
I like that ad too! But have decided to donate. Love reading mooneyspace! How can I post an avatar pic? Site keeps telling me my pic is too large.
-
Please put me on the map and send me the link as well. Thanks!

Looks great! Notice that you have wing tip strobes. Very nice!
-
Let's not kid ourselves, the short-body Mooneys are not made for rear-seat comfort! Kind of like owning a Porsche or BMW. If you want to fly your family and friends in comfort......buy a Cherokee Six.

Raptor's LED Torpedo Retrofit
Mooney-Mark replied to Raptor05121's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
That is awesome! Thanks Raptor! I will take a shot at it! That is great interior lighting! -
Awesome! That will get my C up to 165 kts and more leg room in the back seats!
-
Does anyone know if there is an LED conversion kit to improve the overhead panel lighting in a vintage M20C? The original lighting provides poor illumination of my panel. I can hardly even see the directional gyro at night.
-
Sorry...G is not faster than E, either in kts or mph.
-
Or maybe buy a twin.
-
Great looking yokes and panel MrRodgers!
-
Beautiful panel 1963M20C and great looking airplane! You have a real gem!
-
Awesome image of a beautiful classic Mooney!

I would not touch it. You will have so much more into it than it is worth and never get a fraction of it out on sale. Remember that you also have old obsolete avionics and electronics that will have to be replaced. If you want a project, find a nice homebuilt. That will be much more practical and rewarding in the end. Unfortunately, the airplane you are looking at is a "parts" airplane at best.

I bought a pristine 68 C last January and love it! You get a lot of airplane for the price of a C; that's what attracted me to it. However, I would prefer an F for the additional rear seat space when you are carrying passengers. All around, C, E and F's are terrific values for high-performance singles!
