another newbie question...when you are fuelling to the tabs do you mean the bottom of the triangle thingy? I couldn't really see any tabs as such when i looked (as opposed to the ones in the cherokee i had before). sorry if this is a bit vague but i don't have access to the plane until mid feb whilst the avionics work is being done so am going from memory. those tabs then give 50 gallons? thanks, al.

forgive my ignorance but what is this kit?

i thought i would share some pics from our first Mooney adventure. A short hop to see the normandy landing beaches. The vendors dad landed on Gold beach so we went for a quick look see....

its all official - i am now the legal owner of N201YK - a 1978 M20J. She was here for 2 days and i've lost her for a month whilst she gets her new toys. Looking forwards to lots of flying in Feb! http://lightaircraftinjersey.fotopic.net/p55796264.html here's a pic of my new baby when we went for a bit of a fly around the island and the landing beaches last week.

ouch!

not yet. but its getting fitted next week!

Hi, I was looking at the specs of the M20J - 201 here: http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/Mooney/47.htm I don't understand the range figure. They give 690nm and a cruise of 170kts. This equates to about 4 hours flying. With a 64 gallon tank, 4 hours flying is a fuel rate of 16 gallons/hr. This is much higher than I was expecting - I thought the Mooney was more like 10-11 gals/hr which equates to around 850 nm. Which is correct?. Cheers, Al.

hi mike, thank you for the offer. I have only about 1 hour in my mooney (I am waiting to collect it post inspection). I have now found an FAA flight school in France that is only a 45m flight away and is split into a couple of week long courses. I would still be willing to do a "holiday" swap if anyone was interested in heading over to Europe next summer, although I can't see me going anytime before this time next year. Al

well its not all that great. we have no hangerage unless you want to pay £8,000 a year!
-
thanks but from their website it looks like they only cover cessna and piper at the mo. al.
-
Just as a thought if you are ordering any expensive removable bits for your mooney let me know. we have no VAT here and as we are technically outside the EU this gets deducted saving you 15-20%. I can then post it on to you. Al

hi, i am hoping to put a small group around my new mooney. I have been told tho that there are legal issues between selling hours wet and dry. does anyone know what the issues are? thanks, al.
-
not sure as yet. any recommendations for good schools? was hoping to book on to an "IR in 10 days course"
-
Hi, i am planning on coming to Florida to do my IR in February for 10 days or so, and was interested to know if anyone would be interested in leasing me a mooney for a couple of weeks, or as an alternative, swapping the use of their US based mooney for the use of mine if you fancied a European tour this summer.

hi, i have fuel quantity guages showing in lbs and would like to get this showing in litres as its something that makes a lot more sense to me seeing as that's what i get billed for. do you how and where i can get replacements? thanks, alun
-
sounds great.
-
i am vfr but would like to my IR in the mooney next year at some point. perhaps we can do it together? al.
-
maybe we can get a group event and have a whip round.

i was looking at the EDM930 as it had lots of pretty lights!
-
change from a €500 note when filling up would be nice!

Thanks! Lets hope the pre-buy is all ok. Had a big long chat with a guy at Airtime, Bournemouth about the avionics. He is recommending a 430W, mode S and a JP Instruments EDM as the dyson isn't STC'd or TSO'd as far as he can tell. We shall see how it all works out but that i think is my budget spent!
