M20F-1968

Thanks.  It was a good deal of work but now is a nice aircraft.  It sat in a hangar for 26 years in Dallas.  The engine had been overhauled in 1982 and sat until 2003 when I sent it to Penn Yan and changed everything that needed changing.  Everything else in the plane is either new or rebuilt.  It is a nice flying plane. I like the manual gear.  The avionics are great and it has speed brakes, long range tanks, built in O2 and a capable autopilot.   More comfortable than most airline trips for 7-8 hour legs.

I have had my 1967 F since 1984 and still could not be happier flying it.  I updated mine a number of years ago, but you have done me one better.  Great job!

Given that almost everything from the baggage compartment forward except for the steel cage, wing and engine is non-structural, these are very modifiable airplanes.  You did a nice job cleaning up your F.  Mine would have been similar but I got my hands on a crashed 1998 Ovation, bought parts from it  and found a DER.  That is when I started designing a new model.
