I had a B and the only difference between the B and early C was the MGTOW     I think the B is 2450 , and the C 2575 if memory serves me correctly , also if you have the Mcauley prop , there is no rpm restriction on the prop......

Go for it!  I looked at this plane as well.  It was flying often &1400 still has plenty of life left.  There is damage history but that doesn't bother me.  The MX20 is no longer supported by Garmin and I would believe the 480 isn't too far behind but those aren't deal breakers either.

 

*** I don't think a lot of people out there want to admit how bad the market is right now! GA planes over $100k aren't moving unless they are priced well below book value.  Now I'm sure there are a couple examples of people getting the price they want but "in my opinion" the market sucks! I'd be terrified to see what I could get for my F.

 

As long as you do a good pre-buy, I'd worry more about selling your other two planes!

Yes , people are in serious denial......I think with the Mooneys especially , you can name your price......Most all the ones Im looking at have been listed for more than a year.....The brokers I have talked to say it takes a lot longer to sell....The down side is that more people are getting out , than getting in , so there is an abbundance of inventory....If I could trade up it would be a no brainer,but it is a broker deal , and the performance gain is not big enough to justify the expense , just because I want a newer plane.....If I needed FIKI this is a steal..... 

I have a set , let me know what you are thinking , also measure how long they are , as mine are from a C and may not work... Regards...

Selling Garmin 496 and XM weather package 900.00 , These are currently being taken in trade for 1100.00 on newer aera units....900.00 plus 20.00 shipping.....Call Alan 856 419 5209...

It had a gear collapse in 1989...

10K to start the bidding , for all 4 pieces that is....

no

Nose gear doors were sold to lasar , flap hinges were scrapped with wings.... do have pristine flaps though if needed....

We won't, but you know you will burn in hell for doing it?

Sooner or later he will come over to the dark side.....

From what I understand parts are still available but maybe hard to get on time. Why are you selling your Bonanza? TKS?

Just toying w/the idea , a nice newer plane is tempting....

Considering Ovation , as they have become very inexpensive , toying w/95 O with TKS and 480 / mx20 .....Probably about 110 K .....2500 tt 1400 SMOH .... I like the non turbo , what do you think the parts situation will be in 5 years , how do you think the value will be impacted when the factory shuts down.....Currently fly an older Bonanza , (s model) and have an E mooney , will sell both and move into one airplane......  

I just flew it to sun and fun , and back , 16 hours , and have flown it about 50 hours in the last year , I replaced the turn coordinator , and will have the wing levelor repaired later this month......Regards 

We had fun. Don, his date (that hairy guy who's name I'm sorry I don't remember), Anthony, Lloyd, Al and myself were in attendance. Dennis had better things to do (girlfriend) and Brett was too chicken to come with one of his brakes not working. Sorry Brett, I'd think with your expertise you'd be able to land short enough to stop with half the braking power

How could anybody forget Marcus!!!

Sounds like a power issue , the gyro is in the back of the plane , hit the master and listen to it with a screwdriver , you should hear it turn , if not check power going to it,...

Well...... I have debated as to whether or not to mention this but what tha H3LL if you are looking for nose gear components? Look at KMOR there is a fellow there who I'd bet has what you need. If I need something I always ask him, his father has owned more Mooneys than anybody I know of and probably more than anyone on this forum, controversial, notorious, famous whatever you want to call them they know Mooneys and if you are looking for parts they WILL know where to get them. If you want a contact number I'm sure someone on here knows it, just ask.

Nothing wrong with buying parts from Brent or Jerry , people on here tend to trash vendors , I have had nothing but good experience with the Pressleys...

I have an E model with the SWTA cowl mod , so it is lIke the F model with the cooler in the back..... My oil temps were always in the 240 range like yours , almost touching the red line on the gage....Although it was in the green , it didnt sit well with me.... I pulled the cowl to to change the oil temp sender , and saw an air take off for a 1"scat near the oil cooler that was open, I put a AN bolt with two 1.5 inch washers to seal it off , also I made two pieces of baffling that sealed the two sides of the cooler that dont bolt to the baffling , The end result was my oil temp dropped about 40 degrees....  The baffling is huge with oil temps....

I scored lodging at spruce creek , definetly worth the commute...

if it is insured for less than 55K it will be totaled out and sold ....lets hope it has a lot of insurance...

What RPM equals an hour of engine time?

2545 rpm = tach hours .....  Running at 2300 = more flying time between overhauls......... Less rpm = less wear on engine components and accesories....

Being a "one that has " and not a "one that will" from experience the way he describes the "float" was longer than expected is a dead ringer that the gear was up , regardless of what was indicated in the cockpit.....I had a retractable step , so my first indication of what was wrong was when the prop tips struck the pavement , but the most pronounced thing about the whole incident was the flare that seemed to last forever......I managed to execute a go aroung and ended up knocking off a nav antenna , scratching a flap hinge , and bending the prop tips back about 1 inch....  My nickname for a year or so ws "Crash n dash".... 

Except the angle of deflection is backwards for that. The tail should provide downforce in cruise, but the elevator is deflected down.  I have no explanation for it, except perhaps the horizontal stabilizer has a negative incidence and the elevator trails behind it.

Depending on CG , the tail can "fly" with upward or downward force...

Felt even better to get above the asking price...

The easy way is to jack up the tail...

Correct me if I am wrong , but since the horizontal stab is almost flat , doesnt it need a little deflection to create lift and (fly) , as if it is flat , it is basically a weathervane.....

This Prop has been sold ,
