Thank your the feedback guys!

Hello All, Previous C owner. Wish didn’t sell her but I have come to my senses and am looking for a replacement. Tell me why I should not consider a B model??? With some basic research, all I discovered was that maybe the useful load is about 100-125 lbs. less. What other concerns might there be specific to this model and not in general like corrosion, leaking fuel tanks etc. thank you in advance for any insight. Bob

Are you still looking to buy the landing gear rigging tools?

Are you still looking for an ELT?

Sent pictures to you Robert.

1964 C Model. Please see the attachment for details. Selling because family is not that interested in flying. Mooney M201.doc

Glad to here that they are OK. I'm pretty sure that I know your father (BN). I am sure that his years of experience and piloting skills played a major role in the successful outcome.

I also land with the mixture rich and no carb heat on my C. Bob

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. Bob

Hello All, I am at the Nut Tree airport in Vacaville, CA visiting kids and Grand kids. Flew out from Dallas,TX yesterday. I am looking for a good lunch or breakfast destination to go to within about an hours flight. Any suggestions from folks in this general area? Thanks, Bob

I plan to make it.

gsengle, I appreciate your suggestions. I flew an experimenatl that I built as a sport pilot from Dallas to CA a couple of times and to Oshkosh twice. I flew the Mooney to Sacramento about 6 weeks ago. I do like it as a traveling machine. I replaced the experimental with the Mooney to get more range and capacity. The plane is equipped with a Garmin 530W and autopilot with altitude hold so I think it would be a good platform to learn instruments in.

Thanks for all of your input to my question. I do have the primary vacuum AI, an STEC 30 with turn coordinator and slip/skid ball.I do understand that the other gauges can be used to fly the plane if one loses the AI. The D1 can be installed in a panel hole with a pinch type mount that comes with it (thus not permanently mouted). Since this is a back-up and is not a required piece of equipment for IFR flight, it seems to me to be biggest bang for the buck. If I decice to not get my IR, I will probably use the current electric AI hole to install an engine monitor (JPI 730 or 830) at a later date. I have only had this plane a short while and just recently got my PPL in it. I have been reading "Instrument Flying" to help me decide if I want to work towards an Instrument Rating so the bigger question may be IR or not?

I have an 18 year old RC Allen Electric Attitude Indicator that has quit working. It is used as a back-up indicator to the Vacuum Attitude Indicator in my 64 C Model. Would you have it fixed/overhauled for I think about $600 or would you put in a Dynon D1 for $1375? The Dynon will mount/clip in to the existing Electric AI hole. I am A VFR pilot at this time but plan on working on my Instrument Rating soon. Thanks for your input. Bob

If these are somehow still available, I would like them. Bob 5'5"

I just flew my 64C Model from Dallas, TX to Sacramento, CA and back since getting my PPL on 10/19. All I can say is that I am totally impressed and very happy with my decision to get a MOONEY! Less than 12 hours total time each way, four total fuel stops and averaged 9 GPH, left Dallas in the morning and got to the Sacramento area in time for dinner. Sweet!

teethdoc- I am insured thru Chartis Aerospace.

Has anyone here used AFIT Accelerated Instrument Flight Training, LLC. to get thier Instrument Ticket? They are located in Newport Beach, CA. but have instructors allover the US and come to your location and you get to use your own plane. Thanks, Bob

Thanks Guys. Robert7467-what airport are you flying in to on the 27th? KSMooniac-I am based at 52F.

Passed my PPL check-ride in my newly acquired 1964 C model today! What a great plane. I look forward to some trips now. Bob Dallas, TX

Hi All, I've got a recently purchased 1964 C model that has the sloped windshield mod. As a result, I can't get to the top of the hydraulic fluid reservoir to check or fill it. On the engine side of the firewall, near the reservoir, I see about a 3/8" in diameter, 6" long copper tube with a plug in it and also a smaller diameter clear tube running down the firewall towards the bottom of the cowling. I think that I can fill the copper tube until I see fluid coming through the clear tube. Anyone with specific experience with this set up? Thanks, Bob

Anyone know of a good Mooney experienced CFI in the Dallas, TX area? Thanks, Bob

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys.
