Beautiful she is Mitch, I’ll say it still looks as good as it did in those pictures, I keep it impeccably clean. It’s been a wonderful first plane and I’ve put roughly 35 hours on it since I got it in October, and it has given many people their first “general aviation/small plane” experience. I’m working on my IFR rating now so it’s gotten to take a break but I still fly it at least once a week.

I see your concern, I should clarify. When I was present for the prebuy in the shop, it was the first thing I checked (right as it rolled into the shop) since it was mentioned to me from a previous owner that it might have been dented post his ownership. Ultimately I just beat the tech to it as I had a personal checklist while they were doing other things.

Ok, that would make sense on why my searches led nowhere, thanks!

Hi, I currently am in the process of purchasing my first Mooney, an M20D which has been converted to a C. The prebuy has just been finished today, everything checked out reasonably well, no major standouts. I haven't gotten the official squawk sheet yet, but I did notice myself today at the shop that the upper nose gear truss has the dreaded dents, they're fairly prominent certainly past the 1/32" spec I've read here in other threads. I've researched it as much as I really can, but I am wondering if anyone can give me the specific AD number/name that describes this so I can get the wording verbatim. I tried searching, but I just cant seem to find it.
