Thanks for all the datapoints. It's encouraging at least that it doesn't sound like there's a significant hidden trap here. Unfortunately getting ahold of real W&B data for a bunch of vintage aircraft can get difficult, especially since most have been retrofit in some manner or another, so getting actual owner input is valuable.
First post here, and starting to look seriously at getting a Mooney as the initial primary aircraft for a new club in Tucson, AZ. I'm used to flying 172/182, which generally don't need to consider balance as much as weight. In the world of M20 aircraft, are there models or years that are difficult to load to max gross while staying within the envelope? What combination of loads causes you to be out of the envelope (whether stationary, or as fuel disappears in flight)?
