Trade a Plane listing is here: https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?listing_id=2265780 Hangared at KOBI Woodbine, NJ. I have owned N1159P for 24 years, and she flies regularly. It came out of the factory with a useful load of 907, adding technology and accessories, the UL today is 888. That's less than 20 lbs of UL, but fly a technically advanced and feature rich IFR airplane as a result. 3880 TTSN, and 1100 on a Factory Reman (roller tappets). Pretty paint (2006), the cloth interior is original, some wear, but not ratty. Some history, a bird strike on top of left wing (2013) and empennage damage after a Stearman clipped my tail feathers in 2005, while I was parked at KMIV. Never landed gear up, no hail or corrosion damage. All repair work meticulously completed by the master, Dave M at Air-Mods and Repair in Robbinsville, NJ, one of the best in the business. You won't find a better equipped panel, see the trade a plane listing for detail, N1159P is 2020 ADS-B IN/OUT ready with weather and traffic, including an on board WiFi system that extends the ADS-B data to your smart phone/tablet, Aspen MFD, Garmin MFD, 430W, GTX330, SL-30, EDM700, PMA7000, RANGR 978, and the list goes on. I'm asking $93,500, offers considered. I'm thinking of moving up after some tire kicking of my own. Happy to answer any questions, TAP has the best listing detail including logs. - Jeff 609-469-1986

Hi "dlthig", Sorry, I don't understand the question. If you are asking, what would I take off the airplane to increase its useful load, my answer is, "nothing". I'm simply suggesting that if you routinely want to fill all four seats with people, and take off with full fuel, and bags, from anywhere but sea level, 1159P is not the airplane for you. You need to be over in the 6 banger forums, or in a different Mooney. However, if you want to fly Mom and the two kids to Disney World from the Northeast, you can do it safely in 1159P with the latest in technology and convenience at 160 Kts True on less then 13 gallons per hour. And you're gonna be watching surrounding traffic and weather on the big MFD while doing it. And if ATC arrives you high, you are popping those speed brakes to make a graceful arrival. I suspect for most of the fellas on here, it will just be you in the left seat, and maybe that reluctant buddy every now and again, searching for that cheap buffet breakfast on Saturday or Sunday morning....That's been my typical mission lately. LOL.

If it had NO additional hours since 2013, you'd cry that it was a Hangar queen, sitting around rusting. It's an asking price Ace, not what it will sell for. Make an offer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mooney N1159P is up for sale, check out the Trade a Plane listing here: https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?listing_id=2265780 Some of the earlier comments moaned about the Useful Load, 887.6 Lbs. I know some of you agonize over not being able load 3+ bodies into a Mooney without leaving a whole bunch of gas behind, but it's all about your 90 % mission, which for me was carrying my wife on fantastic cross countries. In the 24 years I've owned N1159P, I've filled all four seats, maybe, 5 times. In exchange for that 587 lbs, 50 gallons and 2 healthy adults and their bags, you're getting one of the best equipped IFR M20J's available. If you plan on loading 4 fat guys and golf clubs, you might want to consider something other than this fast, well equipped M20J! Go look for a Cherokee 6 or a 182. Speed Brakes? Yep, gottem. Fully overhauled December 2016. You say you don't need them, or they are some kind of waste on a Mooney?. Clearly, you have never needed to descend quicker then planned. Seriously, if your Mooney has speed brakes, you won't waste any opportunity to pop those bad boys up into the slipstream to impress your PAX. By the way, Mooney N1159P was part of the FAA's "Targets of Opportunity", one of 5 aircraft in the Northeast chosen to test the ADS-B concept, and has since been updated with the most up to date ADS-B In/Out technology, fully signed off as 2020 compliant. This was done under the close scrutiny of the FAA's Surveillance Broadcast Services division, with all work completed by Lancaster Avionics (Todd Adams) in PA, arguably one of the best Avionics shops in the Northeast. Also, Dave M at Air Mods, has all the history on 1159P, having re-skinned the left wing after the bird strike mentioned earlier in this thread. Nobody does this work better than Dave, his repairs are "better than new".

I had a very similar problem on my 1982 M20J. After months of fluctuating fuel pressures, that would go strong and steady with boost pump on, we finally tracked it down to a pin hole air leak on the head end of the electric boost pump.
