Mooney has to sell to people who aren’t this group. Not only aren’t we the entire target market, we are hopefully only a small part... useful load plus chute plus maybe autoland and maybe a wider cabin can level the playing field. Chute is a must. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People join mooneyspace after they choose to buy or have bought, we aren’t the target market so that’s a little misleading. And yeah I might be willing to fork over some real cash to Mooney for the max gross increase including new gear and cowl... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Extending the gear is trivial, the main issue has been weight. Not enough useful load to add a chute before this gross weight increase which is enabled by beefier gear... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The word is they may be achieving a higher max gross on the long body with a retrofittable beefier landing gear kit. Here’s hoping for trailing link and no more doughnuts... Which is big, that’s been the limiting factor particularly on being able to offer a chute. Let’s face it, no chute can’t compete... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jets have them in large part because of the undesirable characteristics of swept wings like Dutch roll... which doesn’t apply to a Mooney. That said it will be interesting to get a review... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Imho not worth it given the expense to not just do the GI275 now. When my KI256 has to be overhauled again it’s instant GI275 for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is all the info. I wouldn’t expect the border to be open for non essential travel however any time soon. https://www.aopa.org/travel/international-travel/canada Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
And just for contrast my Ovation, cruise from 5-10k typically, and plan roughly 11-13gph lop and 175tas, fiki airplane... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not similar. The same. And generally newer. Ovations exist back to 94. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, with a 20k service ceiling, simpler engine, you should be looking at Ovations too... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grow up. If you believe that go get a tinfoil hat and I hope you use better judgement when you’re in my airspace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
What do you fly if not your Mooney?

It sure may kill off the King option.... now if either my HSI or flight director go, the choice is easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
