I have never seen an grass strip exclusion in an aviation insurance policy. I have seen insurance applications that ask if you ever land on non-paved surfaces. Broker for 4 years, underwriter for 2 years.

G-Force aviation at CAK (Canton-Akron Ohio) is a good Mooney shop.

I can probably do it. will send you a message I am a CFI, CFI-I with 1700 ish total time and a good amount of M20C time. Closing in on 800 hours in all Mooneys

I can commit to flying the company Cessna 182 down from Addison.

Yep - got married Sept 3. part of the reason I haven't been as active on this board! Mooneyspace, meet Hope Woodruff.

I married into a Ford Explorer in September. We just exchanged it for a Subaru Forester. Her Exploder was a 2013 - terrible visibility in that car and it was FWD/4WD. We're consistently getting 29 mpg in her NA 2.5L Subaru now. It's a great little SUV - especially since they're all AWD.

11.5 gph would give you a range from 160 knots to 200 knots, depending on Altitude... IIRC... 10,000 Feet - 170-174 KTAS 15,000 Feet - 180-183 KTAS FL210 - 190-194 KTAS It will probably be faster with the MT Prop getting installed...and a heck of a lot better CG.

Sure was a nice plane to own and will make someone else a great plane.

I saw this post from David LoPresti on LinkedIn if anyone was contemplating a purchase... "I have a rare opportunity for you. We have a cowling mod for a Mooney International Corporation airplane as an overstock. I need to move this item and we can offer a great discount."

Nice ride! Congrats!

A late model C172 has about 16 pounds of paint per the W&B, IIRC.

My bad, Don. You're talking about the transducer being bad, not the cockpit fuel flow instrument itself

For people that are responding to this thread, Don has the FT-101 fuel flow transducer, IIRC.

The problem isn't directly Signature and Landmark, the problem is the municipalities that have ridiculous "minimum standards" that half the time aren't even applicable to a prospective operator to operate and be competitive on a field...that and the protectionist policies that make it much smarter to grow by acquisition as opposed to starting a competing operation.

Nice plane. congrats on stepping up to an M20K.

Looks like someone's got a good price set on a plane that's actually been flying. I'm sure if it checks out in pre-buy, it'll sell quickly.

Autopilot should hold aircraft in standard rate turn. The slower the speed, the less bank. The faster the speed, the more bank. Remember from primary training how you get a fast rate of turn when flying in slow flight and only using 5-10 degrees of bank?

Don, The switch to Tempest Fine Wires on my M20K was one of the best things I ever did to my plane. The higher altitude "miss" that would occur every 5-10 minutes with the Champions ceased to exist with the Tempest Fine Wire plugs.

You might try this if the dollar amount is under $100K. I think it's unsecured debt. I just used them to do a few house upgrades (HVAC, Water Heater, siding, and windows). I was approved and all documentation turned in within 24 hours. https://www.lightstream.com/aircraft-loans

Very nice! Great to use the Mooney for what it's made for.

What you're seeing is often proportional to the regularity that someone flies. You fly a lot. Your mind operates at the speed of Mooney. You don't let the rust build. If pilots flew as much as you do, they'd probably be polished like you. I flew with a guy who was pretty rusty last year. We flew 3 times in 3 days (probably 15 hours of flying?). He started with the sloppiness you describe (and you're not too critical!) and he ended with a confident demeanor and able to fly his airplane well. I wish pilots would get out and fly more often... It's incredibly awkward when you have to say someone doesn't get their flight review signoff - but it may save their life by going up with you a couple more times and regaining some of the skills they once had.

I like Condor. Reasonably priced and seem to last a long time.

Congrats to your son...but flying a jet is no simple act. There's a lot of systems and stuff happens 2-3 times faster depending on the phase of flight.

beautiful airplane. I think you might have knots and mph units switched though. A TAS of 190knots would be quite a bit higher than any other TN M20F
