Well that went over well. Ending up no where close to where I thought I would. We will be in Cape Coral at the end of Jan first part of Feb. Looks like several active clubs in the area. Hope to finally get to see a Mooney in person as well as meeting like minded people. Greg

Hi all, Looks like I'll be moving to FL soonish. Probably the Daytona area ..Ormond to NSB. I was just barely into my PPL when this bit of life hit us. Any recommendations for anyone in this area ? For my end game I'm still debating between a older Mooney or a Bonanza although haven't touched either yet. Hopefully I'll have better luck with this down in FL as well. Thanks Greg

I don't know much yet, I'll admit. I was looking at older Bonanzas and with one particular one, you could probably get it off the ground with 4 good size adults, but not much fuel. Bonanzas can get aft loaded too heavy from my understanding. I haven't seen that with the M20 but thought I'd check on any issues So I'm curious about the same question in a M20 C E ...J Probably wrongly assuming the models are similar, short body vs long body would probably be the biggest factor ? Front Seats about 430, rear seat 300 pounds. One person is about 6'3" so that could be a issue as well. By useful load, shouldn't be a problem... I think. Probably about an hour and half max flights.. Thanks
