As the owner of an M20F of approximately the same vintage, I salute you. What a beautiful and comprehensive update on an already capable airframe.

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.

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.

John, would you share Brian Kendrick's contact info and email with me? I just want it for my files as I have a few clients in TX that want an option to Don M.
THanks

The phone number and e-mail for Brian is correct.

Long shot but do you have any F model interior door handles kicking around anymore?
Thanks,

I do have two. Not sure what kind of condition they are in. I'll look next time I go to the hangar.
