Hey, Y'all--Great Forum! By way of introductions... I'm 5,000hr ATP, A&P. Owned 14 airplanes.... Maules, Pitts, Luscombes, 172, 150, Aztec... I've just bought my first Mooney, a 1999 M20S Eagle. It's amazing. I'm seeing 182KTAS at 8k @16.5gph! With under 800hrs, it's practically new. It's well equipped, for me. Garmin 430 (non-WAAS), KX-155, Garmin Mode S xpndr, Garmin 696 w/air gizmos panel dock, TIS on the 430 & 696, STEC 30 w/alt, just signed the deal to install an Aspen PFD1000 that will give me GPSS and get rid of the ancient technology in the STEC HSI, remote gyro....yuck! Look forward to learning about this airplane on the forums. --EGLDRVR
