  1. My current use would be to visit the girlfriend who now lives about a 13 hour drive (4 hr flight) on the other side of the mountains. Having a plane would make it feasible to fly down every other weekend or so, plus trips to weekend vacation spots which would mean 100-200 hours per year probably for at least the first few years. Typical load would just be two adults, maybe three if I take some friends out. Insurance is one cost that worries me since I’m a low time airplane guy but I have plenty of helicopter time so could hopefully catch a break on that. And I do have research tax costs on my to do list. I’ll likely be buying in the EU so it’ll be interesting at least to figure sales/use taxes. Brian
  2. Hello all Ive been researching airplanes for about three years now and I’m finally ready to seriously consider buying. I think I’ve fallen in love with the Mooney even though I’ve never flown one or even seen one in real life that I recall. I think the Mooney fits my personality well and my use case would be to fly over the mountains regularly so the turbo and fuel economy of the M20K is very enticing. I’ve never owned before but I can foresee myself flying for fun or convenience for quite a few years. Am I crazy to consider buying a Mooney straight away? Should I consider a cheaper, simpler plane for a first purchase and time building? Im hoping to get a few opinions to help my research or mention things I might not have thought about. Or maybe just tell me it’s a great idea and I should just go for it Brian
