Mooneyjet

Thank for the lead.

Gentleman, I'm looking at a mk262 trophy conversion to purchase. As I review the log books, there is an entry and reference to stc sa2445ce, however the owner dosen't have the actual stc. Would anyone with the current mk262 trophy conversion be able to share the stc for reference purpose. Thanks in advance mooneyjet.

Longest flying day so far for me on a m20C, was from kfxe to cyxe, that's about 1965nm or 14.8 hours of flying. After the 4 fuel stops, it was an 18 hour day. The most shocking part of the journey was leaving kfxe about 32°c and landing in cyxe -28°c, with out the windchill.

Hey guys flying the mighty m20 C at 9.5k smooth, with the s-tec selected in nav and altitude hold selected. After about an hour into the three hour xcountry trip,the altitude hold started to oscillate. I retrim the mooney manually. Once again when the altitude hold was selected it started to oscillate to the point that it got to almost plus or minus 100 feet. I did notice the Altimeter and vsi had a bit of wiggle. Anyone ever experience this snag before.

I flown my m20 c at -36 c and it had not too much problem keeping up with a 400 nm flight I did stay at about 6k. I also did start with a warm cabin. I may say that it climb like a home sick angel.

What about "201" with tks, anyone have any input if there is much lost in true airspeed.

I find that I end up canceling a lot of my trips due to weather below freezing temps and low clouds which mean icing either in the climb or the decent into an approach. I got a sweet "c" with stec 30, and 430w, however I would like to have tks and fuel injection. Most of my trips are 400 to 500 nautical miles.

Hello guys, just curious us to how many of you have made the transition from vintages mooney's to J's, and onwards mooney models. Did you find a big difference with regard of more room overall, did the wife, family enjoy the ride more.

Always enjoy your videos, however I'm unable to watch this one in Canada, never had this problem with the previous ones.

For myself with a m20c, is not a big deal at all just watch the fuel pressure flicker and then switch tanks.

That's a great job with the Mooneyjet prototype however mine is 'cke'. She's a 1962 m20c. The other one is my buddys 1963 m20c.

Hello guys, I happen to work with a very talented photographer and had the chance to take the Mooneyjet for its first air to air photo shoot. Here a link to the photo shoot http://www.pbase.com/patgould/air2air_20_october_2013. Enjoy!

I been trying to calibrate, the fpl5, and my poh power setting to what is reading out is completely off.

I courious as well, it sound promising.

I got a 62 with the lasar cowl mod, I climb at 120mph and I can say that I never have exceed 315c on the climb, I flown all the way from the Canadian prairies to the Florida keys. I bring the prop back to 2650 on the climb and wot, I mostly do cross country trips and typical cruise altitude are between 8k to12k, I will lean the the engine and try to keep target egt.

Courious as to how the engine held up to the 10 hours. Did you use anymore oil then usual, it looks like you wore riding the tops of clouds, how come not higher, would your range improved much. Congrats again and thanks for posting videos of your flight very entertaining.

Congrats 201ER, will be standing by on the pirep of how much fuel you took.

At 4100 per jug for the io-390, they can shove it where the sun don't shine. I be very happy with keeping my parallel valve engine. however I'm trying to see if there is a way of just converting it to fuel injected. It would give me a big piece of mind when flying imc in visible moisture, like I said my engine is due for an overhaul and I figure it would be worth all the positives points of fuel injections. I'll do some research in how the RV guys convert their engines.

Hey guys thanks for the feed back, my engine is getting close to overhauled so I'm starting to look at my options if any out there. I see Cessna is refurbishing old c172, with new engines and avionics see avweb latest news, I don't see why we can't do that with the vintage mooneys my "C" is a low time airframe and zero corrosion wich in my opinion should out last me. Therefore an upgrade to fuel injection would be an option that would make since in my case at overhauld time. I be even ,ore interested on the 390 option just because of the option to perhaps run on alternative fuel to avgas, not to familiar with the field option guys could anyone point me towards the right direction I would defenetivily consider that. I know that lot of RV owners convert their 0-360 to fuel injection very easily apparently however not certified. Thank for the positive feed back guys.

Hey guys has anyone gone throught the the converting a m20c to an io-360. Any pireps with regards of performances and what the stc consist of. Thanks

Balls to the wall, gentleman for this mooney driver. The way I see for 99% of my trips I want to get there as quick as I can, for the occasionally 100 dollar burger then throttle back and still pass the Cherokee and cessna.

Talking with the folks at oskosh this year they said that mooney was in the work and as well it would be a plug and play to the stec systems. I would defenetivily be interested, if you ever flown behind a attitude base autopilot you be sold if your doing approaches in bumpy and very windy conditions. The avidyne will work in conjunction of the aspen, I figure it will cost me as half of what my airplane is worth, but only a quarter of a ovation or an acclaim and leave me with all the cash to fly away.

Get your self a monroy long range tank, it's got to be the biggests speed mod for a vintage mooney that will have an advantage of passing lots of high performance singles and twins..

Hello guys, for the lycoming 0-360-a1d. What would be a ball park manifold and rpm setting for 75% or 65% Hp. Thanks

Orionflt are you saying that perhaps, you could install the io-390 on a "c" on an around way legally. Thanks
