Thank you! I saw the empty system weight/arm/moment numbers above in this post and that's what made me wonder if the factory W&B was including some fluid. Appreciate the detail.

Reviving this one - just bought a Bravo with FIKI and see it's in the W&B from the factory as 95 lbs at 74.6 ARM - seems like some sort of combined weight of system & tank weight & moment? Anyone else seeing this? It's never been updated since then - just W&B updated by addition/subtraction for various updates since then. Seems like I'm paying a weight penalty for an "average" amount of fluid loaded at all times? @CAV Ice any thoughts?

Sure thing - see some below from when I bought it - hasn't changed since then, other than in some pics you'll see the panel as I bought it (but as shown above, it's been updated).

The time has come - I finally found my Turbo/FIKI Mooney to upgrade to, so I must list our first child, Rojito "Jito" ... I hope to find a good caretaker for him here rather than posting to Controller or elsewhere. I've taken meticulous care of it and have had very clean annuals. We've been across the country multiple times and it's as good of a cross country J as any out there - trues at 155-160 ROP of 145-150 LOP depending on OAT/conditions. I love that it has the modern Mooney interior with split removable rear seats to extend storage space (how I flew it most of the time). I also was drawn to it originally due to the centri-lube cam STC that was added before my ownership ... helps keep the camshaft/lifters oiled at all times. I've upgraded the panel a bit with a new GTN750 & PMA450B to go along with the Aspen & STEC-55x, but it still has redundant steam gages as well for peace of mind in IFR flying. 1977 Mooney M20J N201NG Serial #24-0253 Price: $140,000 USD Airframe: 6262 TT (flown actively so times will change) Engine: 832 SMOH – Lycoming IO-360-A3B6D (Major overhaul to new limits 8/2003, IRAN 6/2008) Propeller: 510 SNEW – McCauley BlackMac B3D36C424/74SA-0 (Factory new 9/2008) Max Gross Takeoff Weight: 2740 pounds Basic Empty Weight: 1844 pounds Useful Load: 896 pounds Usable Fuel Capacity: 54 gallons Empty CG: 46.659 inches General: · Aircraft located at Sporty’s Clermont County Airport (I69) · LoPresti Super201 Cowling & Speed Mods (step removed) · Always US-based · Annual inspection due 2/2023 · IFR certification due 2/2023 · ELT battery due 12/2025 · All FAA AD’s in compliance · 2/2022 compressions were 72/74/70/69 · GAMI Injectors – runs deep LOP without issue, 0.1-0.2gph GAMI spread · Firewall Forward Centri-Lube Cam STC installed – introduces continuous flow of oil between camshaft and lifters to reduce friction/temperatures and extend engine life · Blackstone oil analysis history available … no anomalies Avionics: · Aspen EFD 1000 Pro PFD (with SVT, AOA, & STEC-55x Integration/Altitude Pre-Select/GPSS) · Garmin GTN 750 #1 WAAS GPS/NAV/COM · Garmin Flight Stream 510 · Garmin GDL69A SiriusXM Weather & Radio Receiver · Garmin SL30 #2 NAV/COM · STEC-55x Autopilot with Electric Trim · Garmin GTX 345 ADS-B in/out transponder (displays ADS-B traffic and weather) · JPI EDM 830 color engine management system · PS Engineering PMA450B audio panel – 2x Bluetooth antennas · Garmin CDI slaved to NAV2 · Davtron digital chronometer · Back-up airspeed indicator, turn coordinator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, attitude indicator, and heading indicator · Ameri-King AK-450 ELT Additional Equipment: · LED Nav Lights & Rear Position Light · LoPresti Boom Beam Landing Light – much brighter than LED · Whelen strobe · Sun visors · Tinted rear windows · Working ram air system – adds ~1.5-2” MP at altitude · Precise Flight SVS standby vacuum pump system · David Clark powered headset modules for pilot/copilot · BatteryMINDer 12v system included with sale – quick connect kit installed with access through ground power door on tail of fuselage · Tanis engine pre-heat system · Cowl plugs & pitot tube cover included with sale · Bruce’s Custom Cover for aircraft fuselage included with sale · O&N Fuel Tank Bladders – no more leaking tanks, can add one more cell to get back to 64 gallons (Griggs Aircraft) Miscellaneous Maintenance: · New oil cooler 1/2022 · Muffler overhaul 1/2021 · New spark plugs 1/2021 · New left main tire 10/2020 · New wing walk painted & paint restored/waxed 8/2020 · New Donaldson air filter 6/2020 · New intake pipe for Cylinder #2 3/2020 · New main gear shock discs 3/2020 · Battery box cleaned/painted 3/2020 · Rigging of all control services reset to factory spec by MSC 3/2020 · Gear travel, trusses, bushings, and hardware serviced & adjusted to spec by MSC 3/2020 · New brake linings 12/2019 · New Concord battery 9/2017 · Overhauled fuel boost pump 2/2017 · Prop Strike 3/2008 – sent to Firewall Forward for IRAN & new prop installed Exterior: · Fuselage/Tail re-painted 6/2007 · Painted by Mena Aircraft Painting 5/2004 – 7/10 condition · Matterhorn White with Red Baron and Outer Space Gray Trim Interior: · Full modern Mooney interior installed at Mooney factory 3/2007 · Grey leather interior with grey carpet – 9/10 condition · Split, removable rear seats – opens up tons of storage room (not a Mooney option until ~85 model years and later) · Modern plastic side panels replace older style · 3-point inertia wheel seat belts for pilot and co-pilot

Thanks all - was able to get something figured out. Appreciate the help as always!

Correct - I’m not flying back commercial through the same airport coming home so I figured I’d see if anyone can ferry before I have to go back and get it (thus saving some parking fees too)

Anyone who can help? Had to fly up last minute to make an international trip because AA canceled our domestic flights that we had booked a day early just to be safe. Ugh!

Thanks, great observations and comparison with ES!

Thanks - appreciate it! Recognize the long range tanks, especially when TKS is added, leave room for a half-full bag of potato chips at best - would only fill them on rare occasions!

Thanks both - agree with both sentiments. I've actually moved to KLUK area now - still not mountainous by any stretch of the imagination, but I do intend to fly to/from CO/WY multiple times per year, as well as to FL multiple times a year. Both areas/missions I want to have a turbo for ... mountains out west & popup storms in FL. And the longer legs of a Encore or Bravo with long range tanks :). Definitely open to the right Ovation as well though if the opportunity arises!

Got my new Bravo through a Mooneyspace connection - thanks all!

Sorry was sold - updated post.

Includes magnetic case & Logitech Crayon Pencil - functions just as an Apple Pencil 1st gen (no wireless charging). All works great and in fantastic condition - just upgraded so don't need anymore. $350 for everything shipped - PayPal friends/family preferred.

Bump

Thanks @carusoam!

Price cut - still available.

As part of an upgrade to a GTN750, I have a GMX200 for sale, P/N 011-01271-00. It is yellow tagged from NexAir. I had it paired up with a GNS480, GTX345, and a GDL69A and it showed traffic, weather radar (both ADS-B and SXM), and controlled the satellite audio without issue. In great shape! Includes the config module. It also includes the tray, an extra Garmin SD Card P/N 010-10820-01, and the manual. SOLD Also have an extra Garmin GNS480 CF database card, P/N 138-0329-053NDB for sale - asking SOLD

Interesting, thanks. In addition to the pictured, I have a SL30. So your thought is one of those is causing interference in the ~121 range? I'm scheduled to install a GTN750 in place of the GMX200 and 480 in a couple weeks, so I want to make sure I get this part fixed too. Thanks Andy!

I've started getting this error on the GNS480 screen and a MSG alert on my GMX200 that shows this error. From what I can tell, it's completely infrequent/can't determine that anything's causing it other than maybe push to talk occasionally while I'm on the ground? Always seems to trigger when I push to talk, but not every time I push to talk. In the air it's pretty stable, only done it a couple of times - far less than on the ground. Any thoughts? As simple as the GDL90 is going bad?

Man - where were you a year ago when I was in desperate need of one. Is this a 55 or a 55x? Great offer of you!

It looks like that's exactly what they did...interesting design choice. Thanks for the picture edit to illustrate @PT20J - clear I was just missing that last step. Will try it again when I'm back at the plane!

Some updates ... looks like the arms of my seat backs have two "slots" for the seat back to slide into the rails on (see first and last pictures. If I put them into the other slot, they don't lay flat - the bolt/silver arm sticking out in the last picture blocks it. However, if I flip the seat back over and slide it down, it lays flat in the seat pan, but then the dual slots are sticking up still. ...I give up, not sure how these are supposed to lay flat otherwise!

Ah man I got excited for a second there. Let us know what you find out - I'll do the same with pictures/videos tomorrow on my bird as well.

Does that mean you have an Encore back in your possession now?!?

Now I think I understand what you're saying - there are different sockets for it, different from the ones that make it a reclining seatback. I didn't move the frame into a different set of sockets - will check that when I head out tomorrow. Thank you!
