They a little touchy about tools that could be used as a weapon now. Good luck if you want to carry them on.

A bit of fuel smell with full tanks some of the upper panels were resealed at annual have to see if that fixed the problem.

lots of good info, Thank you all. David A

Actually for a SR22 that is not bad, I rent a Gen3, another place in Denver Rents newer SR22's at over $300 an hour dry. The 480 is WAAS the airplane was used as an avionics testbed before the current owner bought it. We all fly a lot but not the Mooney, 2 of us work for SWA one works for United. I am the only one that currently is flying piston equipment on a regular basis. I fly about every other month a nice 6 to 8 hour trip but may do more of that if I'm not renting. In the last few years I have been flying the SR22 and a really nice V35. DavidA

Hello all, I am looking into a buying into a Mooney 231 it has 2 items that will have to be addressed tank strip and seal ADS/B solution So what are the best options and cost associated with them. The aircraft has a Garmin Panel including a 480 and MX 20 so we have wx data from XM just need out. Thanks in advance DavidA

Hello all, I have the opportunity to buy into a 1979 Mooney 231. The bird is in what I would call fair to good shape. Older paint and interior but both are ok other then some cracking on the front of the cowl. The airplane just came out of annual and a new ifr certification. All compressions look good and the oil analysis was clean. Talked to the A/P that did the annual he has no major issues. The engine and prop are both mid to high time at about 1300 hours. 1979 231 with intercooler 1300 hours on engine and prop garmin 480 and mx20 xm wx, and music JPI 700 O2 Know issues fuel tanks will need a strip and seal soon no ADS/B So the price for my quarter share would be $15,000. The plan is to have a flat fee per month for hanger, insurance, annual and data subscription of about $250 and a charge of $50 an hour to the MX fund. The current owner no longer can fly alone (age) but doesn't want to give up his bird so he is offering 3 of us the quarter shares. We do have the right to buy his share when he no longer wants it. So yes? No? Comments? Any advice would be appreciated, I am currently renting a SR22 from a flying club at $249 and hour wet. Thanks all, DavidA
