  1. Here’s a few photos of the process to move this old Mooney.
  2. Hangar is in Gary Indiana. Airplane is now in Waukegan IL.
  3. Today I received the paperwork that officially gives me ownership! Time to bring it back to life.
  4. Hi Jst, I just picked up a 56 M20 model. I’m researching maintenance on this wood wing and may be able to provide you a bit of help in the near future. Thanks, David
  5. I have this one from my old C model. Free if you’ll cover shipping. David
  6. Yes it does. As soon as I get more photo storage, I’ll post some more pictures (donation sent to Craig) This is incredible to see such an early Mooney M20 after all the newer ones I’ve worked on. The history of the build is neat to see first hand. David
  7. Hi Kerry, I do have the prop and it almost looks new. I removed it for transport as it stuck out past the trailer too far to haul it safely. I’m going to reinstall it and do an engine run in the next month or so after determining the wing condition. All signs so far are of a clean solid wing. Thanks, David
  8. Good morning, Looks to be called M20 service manual. The one I purchased was $15. There’s one more on there but the seller is asking $128. I also found them available on Essco’s website for $41. I’m going to wait until I receive this manual to see if it includes parts in it. A lot of the early manuals I’ve seen and used didn’t have a separate IPC. David
  9. Well, if it wasn’t available on an old website and given their current state of affairs, I doubt it’s available now. Found a copy on E-bay thanks to Don H.
  10. Looking for a copy of the maintenance and service manual for a 1955-57 Mooney M20 if anyone has a copy along with an IPC if available? Thanks, David
  11. Next thing I need to acquire is a Maint manual and IPC for a 56 M20. David
  12. I’m going to say about 6 hours. First time I’ve done this job and didn’t have all the tools I should have. Thank goodness for tape to make a longer punch out of a punch and extension. I also didn’t have any help during the disassembly. Engine hoist and saw horses were most useful to get it in to three pieces. Brought the wing and fuselage section home today on a 36 foot long trailer. Not especially fun going through Chicago to UGN. Airplane was in Gary Indiana. Wisconsin might have been less stressful than going down 94/294. Got some strange looks!
  13. Wasn’t planning on becoming a Mooney owner again, but today I finished the disassembly and pick up of a 1956 M20. Looks to be in pretty good shape so intentions are to bring it back to flying condition. Don H is going to post a couple of pictures as I don’t have any more space to post them.
