This is my first post, and my first time beginning to look at Mooney's. I am about to sell off my Cessna 152 and get something a bit faster. One of my business partners and I are looking at the M20C for the manual landing gear, and lower than comparable purchase price. My average mission is 250-400nm xc trips with 2-3 people and time building in the process.
Is there anything in particular that we should be looking for as we dive into the search for a vintage Mooney?
My primary concern is getting a bird that is in good shape, but I also want an avionics suite that is IFR certified. I am willing to spend a bit extra to fulfill those needs.
