Thanks everyone! Multiple posts here and a few DM's too. This forum is so great.

I got all excited about a Canadian 201 that didn't pan out. N201Q was available so I paid the $10 or $15 to reserve it. Anyone want it? Might fit well on your 201, or it would be a great upgrade for a pre-J model to get some extra speed

Potentially looking at a Mooney out in San Martin, CA. I'm on the East Coast so its a haul for me. Can anyone recommend a Mooney pro that could do a prebuy inspection out in that neck of the woods? Takair recommended LASAR and Top Gun. LASAR said yes but I forgot they had moved to Oregon, which is far away. Top Gun seems to be very booked. Perhaps someone who could travel to the current hangar and give it a few hours of time for a "go or no go" before having it flown to an MSC. Appreciate any suggestions or input!

Thanks for posting this, I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now.

Thank you, your example solved the riddle for me. I got hung up on the trailing numbers being static in the search. Now it makes a lot more sense.

I'm guessing one of you fine gentlemen has run into this before. https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Search/NNumberAvailabilityInquiry?error=Starting Range and Ending Range fields must not be empty. FAA has a website where you can look up tail number availability. I can't seem to figure out what to enter into the fields. It gives me an error every time. For example, how would I find tail numbers that include "201" like all thoes original numbers that Mooney registered back in the day?

It is beautiful, but I don't think the seller would be willing to make a $120,000 concession

This one is actually on my list already! Thank you sir.

I flew in an M20E with auto lean. Really slick system.

Hello folks, Doing my due diligence while looking for a new Mooney. I'm interested in one that was cared for by Leggat Aviation in Ontario Canada for many years. Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with this outfit? I would be interested to hear about it.

I'm sending out some feelers wherever I can! I am back in the market and hoping to be in the air by the spring/summer. I'm located in CT, USA and this is what I am looking for: M20E, F, or magically a J model. Insurance is going to limit me to under $100k, and closer to $80k would be a lot better. Wants: Something that has been flying and not sitting, engine under 1500hr. Paint that'll at least last me another few years. An autopilot with alt hold (like STEC20, Century III, etc.) Mechanically sound Must be open to having a prebuy done I am an absolute sucker for 201 windscreens and fancy cowls.... I would rather have a plane in great mechanical condition that could use a little interior and avionics loving than the reverse. Please feel free to post or DM if you are thinking of selling or have any hot leads!

This is beautiful.

Any chance you could re-upload the pictures at better resolution?

I have a pair of A30's and while they are really nice, I think I would like them more if they had stronger passive noise blocking. I'm a bit suprised how heavily they rely on the ANR. It works surprisingly well but it just is not the same. I bet your converted headset was excellent.

I brought a big, beautiful, extra thick, grass-fed steak from a local farm.
