I just love these kinds of forums! Thank you in advance for all the knowledge you guys are willing to share.
I am a new pilot with just over 100 hrs and one year completed. I have flown C172's for most of my training (currently working on my IR). I have flown an arrow II and an RV9 for only an hour each. I have not flown in a mooney yet, but I like everything I hear about them. My only reservation is the "tightness" of the cockpit. I am 6' 200lbs, my wife is tiny and my kids are young.
My mission is regional cross country trips 100-400 miles mostly. Sometimes longer.
I found a 1963 M20C with good avionics, new paint and interior and <400SMOH. It's priced at 56K. I just wanted to gather your thoughts as a group. Any advice is appreciated.
