Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your purchase. They have an airport in Crane? . Please post a hello on the main general board and introduce yourself. Good flying.

So, do you think a weight reduction could net 50lbs? What could you do without having recertification issues?

So which is it? Stall spead or landing gear? Or both? It seems to me, strengthing the landing gear is attainable. 300 pounds of usable load worth of strength? I don't know.

You are right . Kind of makes you go hmmmmm. He is an MS'er. We can ask him.

Looks like you will be thumbing it Geoff.

This thread should be called the Newbie section. Welcome to all you three. Good luck in your dreams and aspirations. df

! Oh, to be young and bullet proof again. Ahmen.

Here is a viable option, maybe. www.florisflightservices.com Here is a complany that has a nice O2 rental at Midland/Odessa Spacepark in west Texas. Not sure what you are buying, but you could do your concentrated training with Floris and their CFII, have them fly you to your new purchase closing, then fly home. Good luck.

Well crud. In my faded memory, I "thought" I remembered that some serial numbers in the 231 line would qualify.

Okay. Let's look up the Encore requirements.

Check to see if you van go the Encore route.

231 or 252?

Set an appointment wit DMax

Lance, you have too much time on your hands.

I vote this most succinct post of the year, so far.

Show us a picture please

According to Andy, there should be dozens of these available with only 150 hours total time.

Guys. Quit feeding the troll.

Believe in the @Piloto!!!!!!!

What's better than an E?

Come on guys. Until Mooney starts selling new planes anywhere close to the rate Cirrus does, Andy can crow, and crow some more. The Cirrus is less efficient, slower on 30 more horsepower, and though looks are subjective, is not as handsome as a Mooney. Everyone knows this. The engineers at Cirrus had a clean sheet design and over 35 years of newer engineering knowledge to work with, and still could not make a plane near Mooney's performance numbers 'accept' for carrying stuff. Good for them. Congratulations. No more to see here. Move along citizens. We as Mooney fans need to hope (pray) that now that the certification has been issued, Mooney sells all the units already assembled, has more orders waiting in the wings, and keeps selling until their next upgrade (whatever that may be). If that doesn't happen......... Congratulations to Mooney on the achievements. Good luck to the future. I Wish I could buy 10 new Ultras. DF

Hmmmm. What ATC? He he

I'm Joe average at 51. I certainly hope my brain power lets me fly another 25 years.

Please clarify #4 for me please. By the way, watch out for @gsxrpilot, I think he is a closet CBR kind of guy.
