Thanks for everyones input. It really helped make my mind up. After reviews all the suggustions I am going to beat the flight trainer plane first before I buy one myself. Thanks all.

Hello: I'm new to the Mooneyspace community. Please let my tell you a litte about my background then I will get into my question. I am a person looking to get my private pilot lic next spring. I am strongly considing buying a Mooney before I start lessons and letting my son fly it before I start my training. I realize it is a complex airplane. However, I have over 10,000 hours of flight experience as a flight engineer on the C141B, B727 and the L1011. Zero stick time. Therefore, I am very much in tune with procedures, aviation lingo, and checklists. My son has his privates and this is something I have always wanted to do myself. I have a friend that owns a 1965 M20E and when I saw it I fell in love with the plane. Anyway, with all that said. Do you think the Mooney would be too much for me to handle given my background with no time on the yoke ? Thank you in advance for your input. flyinfool1011
