  1. This is a question for the map keeper, @gsxrpilot He will chime in soon enough if asked nicely.
  2. I do not mean to sound sceptical but I consider myself a realist. What we have here is a machine that has flown on average less than 30 hours per year for 34 years. Unless the last 200 hours flown have been within the last year, everyone knows that all the steam gauges will malfunction 1 by 1 quickly enough. The elevator trim will start sticking because the jack screw has probably never been serviced properly. The tanks will develop leaks (not cheap). The sending units will be inaccurate. And the list goes on and on. If this is a forever plane, and money is no object, rock on. Please resurect that Mooney. Everyone here will cheer you on and support you. The fact you are even considering it is a positive in my book. I will be quiet now.
  3. Okay. "Is it worth it" is always a very subjective question. The bird is "worth" what you are willing to pay for it. Those Euros is about $165,000 American dollars. If the engine has had a FULL overhaul, and there is no corrosion on the wing spar, no leaks in the tanks, no damage history, that above dollar amount would still be at the high range in my opinion. Especially since you are looking at what? $50,000 American to upgrade the panel? Add a few thousand for landing gear donuts because I am sure they have never been changed. You will be over $200,000 American before you know it. Your first Annual will be over $10,000 I am willing to bet. Not saying don't buy it, just saying it will take some money to get the bird to where you want it. Find out if she is "Encore" upgradable. That is a good thing IF you really want to sink the money into it. Others will be here soon to shoot holes in my opinion.
  4. What model? How many hours? Which exact engine? What extras like bladders, FIKI, Speed Brakes, Long range tanks?

  6. Not quit answering the question. Those same carriers do not have the same limitations on a 172? Only because it is a Mooney, do those limitations apply? Bonanza? Cirrus? They do not get the limitations because they are not Mooney?
  7. Is the 10% hail coverage also a limitation on the 172? Is that limitation Mooney specific? Same questions about bodily injury?
  8. Call the FBO at KHFY and give them the N number. Bet they could get a message to the right person.
  9. That was a joke.
  10. Perfect. Makes total sense. Thank you.
  11. No. You were good. After reading two different published definitions, " a cut or groove" was the second meaning in the definitions.
  12. Well crap. "castellation". I feel I am fairly well versed. I consider my spelling, grammar and dictation better than average. Then what happens? You damn engineers start talking in tounges. grrrrrrr
  13. There certainly been some nicely equipped Mooneys of all models posted recently. This example is one of them.
  14. Mr Andy, a couple of questions please. Is the Auto pilot the full Britain two axis? How old are the bladders? What is the UL? When was it last IFR certified? I consider the TT low for a '77 model. Is the bird being flown currently? Thanks David
  15. Suuuuuuuper sweet!!!!! Nicely done.
  16. How much did the babe cost?
  17. I is not official with smiling pictures.
  18. Yeah, well, Mr DK will need to be under the hood till roll out for that to be impressive.
  19. The kit does not include the cable needed complete the actual install? One needs to manufacture your own cable?
  20. 15 degrees of flaps? Into the flight levels?
  21. You have friends?????......
  22. Please post your birds attributes.
