My 1965 M20C is "Esperanza" which means "Hope" Beautiful name and I sure HOPE I can keep it Flying physically and financially. Decal is on the cowl.

Price is now $250. Anyone need one? Make offer....

So I started this as a wake up call. I had an incident with the hub cap too, and the new ones are $350 for a 2" cap. The dust cover [6" flat plate]is another $330. FYI So my point is someday we may get $500 for a used gas cap. Aren't the owners supposed to only use approved components. I noticed most of the other caps were for Cherokee or Cessna. FYI. Stick to Mooney or your insurance may not cover you...Just a thought.

Now that I've stirred you all up.....Just let me know if you need one and we can haggle [a lot]. My price is not the issue because I will either keep it, sell it or give it away as I see fit. My issue was how did the new ones go from $1000 to almost $3000, with the factory re-opening?

Funny Guys!! The "New ones" from the factory are $2800+ last I heard. I am just trying to make a point. If you need a nice one I will work on the price a bit.... Thanks for all your comments brothers. [I agree I am in the wrong business too!]

Nice - thanks

Sorry - had a long day and was reading the other site regarding the caravan....So please forgive the strange entry above. However I am interested in learning at one of the clinics, and am based in Tucson...

Me too...Yuma 2015 would be doable!! What kind of cost is involved?

Does anyone know where I can find the rubber boots for the servo's for the 1965 m20c Mark 21 wing leveler? also the thumb switch? Also my N7852V is in annual and I need to know what the most current required airfilter assembly is and where I can buy a replacement "boot" for the space between the inlet and the carb heat intake . Do any of you have a lead on where I can get a "service manual" too!! Thank you!

Last year I did my first go around after the 2 bounces in Globe AZ, and was thrilled I had read 100 or so blogs on this subject! I recognized from all your comments [last year] that 3 is too many, and saw and did the right thing....so for what it is worth this site is worth its weight in gold to me. All comments on flying this thing are welcome as I experience and learn new stuff everytime I get in and go.

Anyone have the '77 POH suggested above? BCconsult21@yahoo.com The 1965 M20C would be nice to have on my Ipad...if anyone wants to send that too! Thanks

To all you folk that sent info....Thank you all for your help. I think the problem is an incorrect distance for the arm of the back seats....It is a good start to solving the mystery. I will follow up with my mechanic,,, Thanks again, Brian

Here are my Garmin figures: pilot & co-pilot 170 and 185 and 40.00 Arm BUT Passengers arm = 118.9.....Does this sound like the right distance / value? Bagage arm = 133.3 It figured this: Moment = 135445 Wt = 2465 and CG = 54.95 [too far aft]

Item: Wt Arm Moment Aircraft 1559.4 44.41 69239.4 Removed: Narco Transponder 2.4 19.0 45.60 Added: II Morrow 618C 4.96 19.0 94.24 King 64 DME 2.6 19.0 49.40 Terra TDF 100 ADF... 4.2 21.0 88.20 Terra Transponder 1.7 19.0 32.30 Totals: Gross wt=2575 11.06? xxxxxx 218.54? [?= not sure where these values came from] Empty Wt= 1570.46 New useful load= 1004.54 New acrft CG= 44.23 Moment= 69457.94 Note: 49" is the aft limit [(all weights) ..... and 42" is the fore limit up to 2100 lbs.] Any thoughts? looks like done in 1990

I have 2 adults up front - then 1x 170 back seat passenger is OK. Add one more 170 pounder and the CG is AFT. Gross weight is not a factor. I am not talking about 2 in back and one in front. On other blogs it seemed people put 4 adults in and went no problems [with W&B]

I'll get those posted by Monday. Thanks for replying... I don't think it has had any major upgrades...seems pretty standard as far as I've seen.

When I figure W&B for more than 1 occupant in the back seat I am Aft of the CG limit..... Has the log been miss handled or is this a common problem? Please give any comments, as I am a new Mooney owner.... [1965 M20C] Thanks - Brian
