Sounds optimistic 150 MPH at 10 GPH = 15 MPG , About what my v8 F 150 gets...

Well now , The CRV , is way more efficient...

Garmin GTX335 w/gps , New kit in box , with GTX335 , Tray and install kit , Antenna , power adapter , and paperwork manuals … Price is not negotiable , This will be the last one for a while.. Alan 856 419 5209

Heres what I imagine , every time I see this type of post....

Agreed , I can tell you this , The 182 RG is the BEST MISSION CAPABLE aircraft I have ever flown... Cruises at 150 True on 12 gallons , Carries 1300 lbs , and will fly at 40 Knotts straight and level , Its an amazing aircraft... I have flown in regular Cardinals , and prefer the Mooney , although the Cardinal is HUGE inside..

What I am implying , is that a J Mooney , is not in a league with an A36 Bonanza , Last I heard , A 252 , is not a J , I have owned both , and currently DO OWN BOTH , I am speaking from a perspective of facts and experience , I fly Mooneys 250 hours a year , I hate to break it to you , But comparing an A36 to a J model , Is like comparing a J Model , to a Piper Warrior …. Not in the same class , Perhaps if some one would compare Apples and Apples no one would get their feelings hurt … As far as Comanches are concerned I have never flown one , so I don't know , I have cut up a few Comanches , and they are better built , than our Mooneys , But I have never worked on a Piston aircraft that was built better than a Bonanza / Baron...

Yes call 856 419 5209 for pricing

Perhaps if we compared it to another 200 horsepower 4 seat aircraft , That would be more appropriate ???? Lets compare it to a Beech Sierra , not the Bonanza..

Just curious if you are considering the "Mooney as a sports car " because that would be totally inaccurate , Mooney has never sold an aerobatic aircraft , Where as Beech has sold many aerobatic Bonanzas ...

I could sell you "MY" set , but it would be substantially more money... The ones I sold , came in a plane I purchased

Sold on eBay , for 300 dollars more

Hey can we compare the Mooney to a Cessna Caravan ??? I heard the Mooney is more efficient....

This is why I laugh when you attempt to compare an A 36 to a J , Face the middle seats forward , remove the rear seats , you now have almost 3 times the cargo area , and 4 seats , and 300 lbs more payload...

Turtles Mooney has been sold to a friend of mine

I have a spinner for a 2 blade , What do you consider reasonable ??

A lot faster , bigger payload , carries more fuel , better quality , roomier , etc etc

Mooneys , the value vs repair cost , is prohibitive for cutting up bonanzas..

I fit half a Mooney , full fuel , and Anthony Caruso in my S35 and cruised at 160 knots burning 11.5 The very early A 36 had a slightly smaller baggage area than the later , but still huge compared to a Mooney

The seats in the A-36 can be faced forward , or backwards , They can also be removed in about 1 minute each , The A 36 , is capable of being stretched out to 4100 lbs , They have real landing gear , real fuel tanks , and a company that supports the product , and has continually for 65 years , Spar web cracks are VERY RARE , I personally have never seen them , wing bolts are not required , They have MUCH MORE ROOM , yes the Mooney cabin is 2 inches wider , It is also much rounder in the profile , The Bonanza is Roomier , I can and do run my Bonanza at 11.5 gallons and 160 Knots , Don't believe me , Caruso has been in my plane more than once and seen those numbers , These are not comparable aircraft , it is a stupid comparison....

I have owned both , Twice the runway lenghth is incorrect , not even close ,

Um no its not

With or without a headrest ?

Wasn't aware that you went over and looked at it to assess its condition, Can you give me some advise ??

How about a nice Trig TT31 for a whopping 1400.00

I just picked up a 68 F , Electric gear , 201 glass , flap , aileron seals , cowl closure , Bladders (54 gallons ) , Powerflow exhaust , Century 2000 , No AD prop 3 blade , Hawk paint (2000) about a 7 , decent interior , FS450 … 1950 on the motor , NDH , will be approx. 40 to 43 K
