Mine was installed in Nov 98 and has been indoors mostly. There are 2 cracks at the top of the windshield and I am going to replace it before I paint the airplane. It does have the fiberglass strip at the bottom and it would be a good time to upgrade that. I checked the price for the windshield on SWTA's website and $440 seems a little steep to me. Any thoughts? Thanks

I have the SWTA 201 style windshield in my Mooney and it needs to be replaced. Is their windshield the only one that can be installed or can a 201 windshield from LP Aeroplastics be used?

I'm pretty pleased with my purchase. It needs some TLC but seems to be mechanically solid. The only numbers I have for now are on the leg home I flew at 9000 feet and was showing 152 kts on the GPS. Seemed to run right around 147-152 kts when I checked. Very smooth flying and the engine hasn't missed a beat. I'll try to post more when I start doing some more cross countries. Thanks Rob, I'd feel much the same if you had beat me to it.

Each time I fly my new plane, I learn more and become even more of a fan. What a machine! Takes planning ahead to slow it down and landings are fairly easy with some crosswind. just need a few more hours of training and then off on some adventures. I hope to become an active member on this site and share what I learn and hopefully learn from the Mooney experienced folks. Thanks,

It seems I spend a lot of time at the airport. Going to fly my Mooney tomorrow with my instructor to get my signoff finished soon. This is one fast M20C from what I can tell. Speed mods definitely make a difference. Lot's of little details to finish before I paint it next summer. The dream planes in the hangar are what I take care of in my spare time. They are all airworthy and fly regularly. Check out our website at www.warbirdheritagefoundation.org Thanks again,

Thanks fellow Mooney owners. I'm based at Waukegan (KUGN) IL.

I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it once I'm comfortable with it. It seems to me to be a numbers airplane. It sure can get too fast going downhill if you don't pay attention. It's not the nicest looking Mooney, but I will be painting it next year. Here's a couple of pictures of 2652W in the hangar.

As of yesterday, I am the new caretaker of a 1966 M20C, N2652W. Flew it home with the previous owner and am quite impressed. I've been flying a Husky for the last few years and have never flown a Mooney before yesterday. Looking forward to flying off the hours required for insurance and then set out on some adventures.

Hi Guys, I'm going to be a Mooney owner this next week and I have a business manufacturing FAA-PMA parts. During my prebuy inspection I learned of some pricey parts that are also hard to come by used. One of the items is the battery box. I'm thinking of producing these new as a PMA replacement. As Mooney owners, I'd appreciate your thoughts and input on any other part you like to see manufactured and why or why not. The Mooney would be a new market for me as most of my current work is in corporate aviation jet parts and tooling. Thank you, David

Is there an STC or Mod to change the early Mooney square air intake for the carb to a flush mount like to IO models? Thanks,
