Thanks Aviatoreb.

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. Noted ref the Turbo. What are your thoughts on this AC: https://www.ataviation.co.uk/product/mooney-305-rocket/ Anyone know this aircraft? Thanks Ian

Hi All I am new to the group after seriously considering purchasing a Mooney. So far I have been told by my usual [very competent] maintenance partner at Horizon St Athen (EGDX) that parts are both rare and costly. I want a fast bird for travelling in the UK and to Europe for business and the Mooney ticks all the boxes. I must say they just look and sound tremendous... I am looking at something like this: https://www.ataviation.uk/listings/mooney-305-rocket/# If I fly 100 hours per year what the servicing and maintenance cost would work out per year over a 5 year average? Also, people have mentioned lots of down time due to searching for or waiting for parts. Is this a thing? I owned an Archer 2 for a number of years so I know that servicing and ad-hoc work can be nasty. I just want to establish if I can truly afford to run this through my VAT registered business without it being a total liability? Any thoughts welcome! Thanks, and best regards. Ian

I am looking at this? https://www.ataviation.uk/listings/mooney-305-rocket/# I have previously kept and maintained an Archer 2 and I am a bit afraid of running a mooneyt in the UK ue to parts availability and cost. Any general advice? May I ask, what you are spending a year for maintenance? Thanks Ian
