Grand Rapids FSDO came out and inspected it , Denying the permit just moved up the timeline and cost me another 1500.00 in the grand scheme of things....If there is corrosion on an Aluminum spar cap and skin , what does it look like where the steel splices are in the wings , there were 337s for welded members in the cage.... I wasnt putting someone in this airplane , I too have to sleep at night ..... The reality is that these things dont last forever , 50 years is a fantastic run for an airplane , and there is a time when you have to pack it in.........It was worth substantially less than the sum of its parts........... P.E.T.A. People Eating Tasty Animals.....Where do I sign up?????

This is a steal folks , includes all the stacks too!!!

How do you think I felt holding the sawzall ?????? It wasnt pleasant......

This was a Porsche converted to a Bravo...... When Porsche dropped the program , the engines were orphaned , even though they have car engines you cant use car parts on them legally , So they were all converted over to a 550 , They have a A.D. for valve springs , that essentially grounds them..... I dont know of any that were not converted to the 550....

The owner didnt want to put a wing on it , So he sold it , I bought it , It is worth more in parts , If everyone wanted to save it , How come I was the only one to step up to the plate and buy it .........Forget about the fact that most of you are buying parts of this plane , and forget about the fact that 80% of this plane will fly again...... I took one out of a hanger after 20 years , got it in nice flying condition , and no one will give me more than 30 K for an E model.... Why would I make the same mistake twice?????

Well lets look at the "up" side to this tragedy , Perhaps someone will learn from this and make a better decision in the future...

Yes, but wont fit easily if you have the Lasar rudder root fairing....It is the factory part from a J model...

Chris , call me we usually have a house ,

I'm tempted to buy them myself !!!

I dont know what the fasteners on the panels are for ,It should have fasteners in the the edge of the wing skin.... Maybe has to do with the landing light???? I have good used panels to replace them with if needed.....

Kurt they are not Lasar , they are O.E.M. Mooney fairings purchased from Wilmar for the J model , Far superior to the Lasar , and much easier to install.....Also dont need an STC as they are OEM.......

Just to Clarify , Skytec is the O.E. starter for Lycoming.....Its not aftermarket , requires no STC , and it KICKS ASS .......If it breaks they will replace it for free......It is the starter equivilent of a Concorde battery......

Somewhere between a pinch , and a heap......

You going Chris???? My friends in the Yaks are going down , and they party hard.....I havent committed yet.....Was offered a ride down in a Yak , but flat out refused......7 hours sitting on a parachute sucks at best!!!!

The reference has to do with the density altitude being close to 9000 feet , rendering a 200HP NA Aircraft to approx 110 HP .... Any pilot with half a brain wouldnt do that with NO WINDS and max gross weight..... And it wouldnt be fine with 300 HP at max gross weight either.......

Selling inspection plates , have about a hundred of em in in pristine condition , Little ones are 12.00 , Big ones are 16.00 , Call Alan 856 419 5209....

Feds actually came out and inspected it , wanted x rays etc..... Did'nt fit my time restraints ....... Honestly I was probably going to part it anyway , but it would have been a lot less expensive to fly it back in one piece....

These are the same lenghth as the M20J so they probably fit most all mooneys , Check your parts manuals folks......

Agreed , Chalk that one up to the F.A.A. as they refused a ferry permit....

All of them , but the interior is nothing to be proud of....
