2024: Thoughts on the sweet spot in the M20 model range?
hammdo replied to BlueSky247's topic in General Mooney Talk
Yep! That would be the sweet spot… -Don -
Electric pump always on takeoff/landing for me, shut off on takeoff when I have enough altitude… -Don

That 64 gallons in the F/J is hard not to like. I wish my C had that…. -Don -
Not much anymore, some old magazines and no updates in a year. TheMooneyFlyer.com will give you better insight right now… -Don

‘Win this magnificent Mooney!’ - I was hooked…` If you need reference - King Schools… Let me feed the addiction… -Don

Battery did the trick, whips this baby around good - what I didn’t know was I had a Concord AXC to begin with. I noticed the charger was showing a charge but never made it to ‘full’. This new one does. Took it out today, pattern practice to make sure everything is good before I venture out. Had to reset the breaker after the first startup for the GNC 355 as it was saying no gps and to check the power connection. Breaker reset did the trick and no further notices from the GNC355. Whew… Good 1.6 hours in the pattern with a few landings and she did great. Ready to go! -Don

Woo hoo! gonna be cool to see fly… -Don

My LHS install was 5 hours (@ the time $100 per hr), $50 for supplies. Every shop I’ve been to charges for supplies…. BTW, I was their first LHS install too… Just so there is some context for real installation times… I still think supporter status from a vendor should be done since there are comparisons made to one that is… -Don
-
It does say NORSEE which is A&P needed. Looks interesting- compared to LHS from MirorKit They should get supporter to advertise though… -Don
-
I too usually just pm the seller directly - if they are supporter and been here a while. Just don’t post on the advert your interest… -Don

Drove by this place near Gainesville airport yesterday… Might be good - don’t know…. humm….

Noticed some ‘labored’ starts the last couple of flights (cold and hot). Gill has 4 years on it so, I’m going with the Concord RG35 AXC (picked up today). Better to be ahead of the game. New starter etc and battery minder alway on when not flying so, playing it safe — nothing has been left on except the clock in the yoke. -Don

A C/E are pretty good XCountry machines, and excellent way to get started in a Mooney. Won’t say don’t get a Bravo if things line up for you and costs are not an issue. I’ve found my C to be a reasonable cost to fun ratio for sure… -Don

Awesome setup… -Don

Congrats! Train well, fly with a Mooney CFI as suggested. How far along are you? -Don

I lean vs full rich. I pretty much do that all the time to test the ignition system health. I lean so I can get to the RPM I run without it running rough. Just my habit… -Don

IFR approaches today! Got 2 of them in. Flew in the ‘angry’ clouds (light to medium gray) - you know the typical ones that bounce you around. It amazes me how these clouds force you to keep altitude and heading without autopilot. Gotta keep up with actual… you get rusty pretty fast… -Don

Must be still processing… -Don

@bcg, don’t forget the J spinner is different (I have on on my C) ;o) -Don

Breakin oil report - what I expected - want to watch trends to get an idea of how the cylinder is doing… new piston/plugs etc not bad… not sure where they got the engine hours - those are clearly tach time not engine… -Don

And not IFR current too… -Don

G5 and GNC 355 (COM)/375 (Transponder/ADSB) are good options. i have dual G5s and GNC355, kept the BK 155 and indicator…
