All
I am a current 76 M20C owner with about 250 hours on the C model. I am looking at buying an Ovation and I am planning on contacting one of the CFI's listed on MooneyFlyers for type specific instruction. (For further background I have 2000 hours TT, IFR and ME, my other ride is a 421B model.)
However I would like to ask what the difference in landing technique is for a long body. I imagine a stable approach, good use of nose up trim and attention to keeping the heavier nosewheel up in the flare. (I imagine it will have a heavier nosewheel feel due to the bigger engine and longer axis).
Anything else?
