I will look that Top Gun up!

That I did not know, I know G5s is the way to go if you want to do the GFC 500. I see people doing STEC autopilots in these as well. I hear that the Bendix King will be certified for Mooneys soon, anyone can chime in?

Wonder where I could find one? That could work if the price was right.

Hi, we recently bought a M20E model. We were thinking of doing two AV-30s and keeping the vacuum system to power the PC system. The PC system works as it should at this time. What autopilot choices do I have in the future? I know G5s would be the way to go with a GFC 500 AP. Another question, the paint on the Mooney is a single stage paint. I spoke to my mechanic and he informed me that I can polish it out and wax it. What are some product recommendations for wet wash, compound, wax/sealant/ceramic, and instant detailer? Also interior is leather and plastic anything to take out old stains and treat the leather would be helpful! thanks!

I made contact with a shop that goes by Genesis Aero out of KGTU, works on Cirrus and Mooney aircraft from what the gentlemen that works there. Anyone have any experience with them. I called just about everyone, and they are all in the spring or summer.

I appreciate that, I see that rep.

Has anyone got work done at Blue Skies Aviation or Genesis Aero?

I called him, he was booked out too.

They are booked out a bit too far for me.

Thanks, I will call Chucks again.

Where does Brian work at? I called Dugosh and they are booked out 4 plus weeks. STA is also booked out, I spoke to them. Nice guys

Any great shops in the area of Austin TX or KBMQ. Looking to get a pre buy and annual done in a week or so. I know Don is in Longview, seller would like to stay somewhat local. Thanks

Still available?

There is a 67 Mooney F model with a Rayjay, Johnson bar, and everything you listed on Facebook on Vintage Mooney Group. PM me and I can forward the number to you! Was at like $57,000, and in annual.

Thank you everyone! Does anyone know of a shop that will do a very good pre-buy in the KDFW area?

Interested in any below 100k.

The one I am seeing had a gear up in 2018, and had its engine overhauled after. It has only had 50 hours on the tach since the incident.

Appreciate it!

Thoughts on Mooneys with a gear up landing?

Any reputable Mooney mechanics near KDAL (Dallas, TX)? Or KMFR (Medford, OR) that can do a pre-buy?

Thank you, that makes sense. I figured the E model will be fine for our purposes. Have you been in the back of a E model?

Definitely want something that has been flown at least 50-100 hours per year. Now if the plane hadn't been flown, and it just got out of a major overhaul recently, thoughts?

Thank you, I am trying to stay away from coastal birds. Someone had one based out of the Bahamas, so I walked on that.

We kind of already did that, 100k would be the absolute top of what we want to do. It seems like 125k will get a nicely equipped aircraft.

Thanks for the response, yes, I am looking at a few online that have the STC turbo added. I was asking what kind of additional upkeep one can expect. I know they have to check the lines and rebuild the internals of the turbo every now and then.
