Thank you so much to everybody for helping and providing input on this. I'm a shorter pilot, 5'6" and my wife is 5'5" (110 lbs). i've heard that there isn't room in the cabin, but so far I found that i have to pull the seat all the way to the front stop and i need an extra pillow or cushion on the seat for me to see over the panel. I may have new seats made that have more cushion and sit higher. My two little girls weigh 40 lbs each. with full fuel, my family, luggage, I still have over 200 lbs before max weight. I'm sure I'm the exact opposite situation compared to others.
I'm excited to be part of the Mooney group. I just bought it, it's in annual, and i haven't flown it yet. my first flight will be with an instructor for complex checkout. This plane has had a ton of mods put on it, so i'm excited to get going in it. I'm sure I'll be back here asking for advice.
