  1. So, I moved to Charleston and never did get a look-see into a Mooney. Lol. I am flying with a club out of Berkeley County, KMKS if anyone is in the area and wouldn't mind showing me around their airplane. I live close to downtown Charleston so I am convenient to the other local airports also. Thanks in advance.
  2. It was pretty bad overall..the kid that was "going to be a pilot" asked for 'heading 170 North' when she was playing on her sim. I am like "a heading is a heading, there is no north added to it..plus, 170 is south"..and it was amazing how fast the KA went from too fast, to a near stall, etc. There was one part where ATC was telling him he was low, like 3000 or something, then it flashed to Flightaware where it showed him at like 11000+. I am sure all of our wives were rolling their eyes at our comments during the movie..
  3. I guess I am more worried about the seating position than actually fitting in the plane. I know I can likely get in and out without much issue..was just worried that the "corvette style" seating position would be hard on me for longer flights..but, seems like there are plenty of larger guys flying them without issue...so, it'll be about the same comfort level as any other plane..stiff back or legs at the same flight time. Lol.
  4. Thanks Bob865- I will certainly take you up on that when she's out of the shop. I am currently doing my IFR training at GMU, so I am there a good bit. add: I just checked your repair / update thread. That is going to be a great panel you are putting together!!
  5. Well, that's the thing..I don't know yet. Don't have enough time under my belt, and certainly not enough different planes to know. I have only flown C172 and a Piper Cherokee.
  6. Any of you vintage Mooney owners in the Greenville SC area? I wouldn't mind getting a look inside one to see if it should be on my list of planes to consider. I have read some info that it is tight inside, and seats sit lower and can cause some back pain for larger occupants. I am 6'0, 215#, and already have a stiff back. I love the look and efficiency of the Mooney, and would like to get into a partnership in the future..just want to make sure it is not something I should cross off the list. Thanks to anyone that'd be willing to give me a tour.
