SOLD!! Owned for last 20 years always hangered at O69 (Petaluma, CA). This is an excellent airplane with many speed modifications and classic instruments with some new digital and 4 cylinder engine monitor with fuel flow. We’ve used this airplane for personal use along with getting and IFR rating. Flew IFR pretty constantly 10 years back but mission changed so stopped getting IFR certifications. Original paint and interior with plastics repainted and ceiling replaced. Classic 6 pack instrument panel with AV30C and vac. AI. Original Brittain B6 3-axis autopilot holds altitude and set course but struggles to track VOR needle. Approximately $6,250 in speed mods make it near a M20J in performance. While the engine is mid-time SMOH, it was rebuilt just 690 hours ago due to a cracked case. Additionally, less than 100 STOH (full top overhaul - 4 cylinders in 2022 -- New Scimitar propeller, hub and spinner in 2023). There are many years left on this engine! Over the last 20+ years, we’ve focused on making it a solid mechanical aircraft we could trust with our family of 4. I’ve wrestled with selling over the last few years but can’t justify keeping it as we are not flying as much now that the kids have left home and we don’t have any long distance flight missions for a 4 passenger aircraft. This has been a solid aircraft and family member that is very difficult to let go. Please look over modifications and equipment below. 57 Years of Complete Logs all Digitally Available Make: 1967 Mooney Model: M20F Asking Price: $93,500 USD Registration: N3506X S/N: 670044 Annual Completed: May 24, 2024 Home Airport: O69 (Petaluma, CA) Airframe: Complete and Original Logs SWTA 201 Windshield (Approx. $2,300 installed) LASAR Shoulder Straps and Seat belts Pilot and Co-Pilot LASAR Lower Cowl Enclosure (Appox. $1,200 installed) LASAR Rudder and Elevator Hinge Covers (Approx. $750 installed) LASAR Flap Gap Seals (Approx. $1,000 installed) LASAR Aileron Gap Seals (Approx. $750 installed) LASAR Brake Relocation (Approx. $250 completed) Manual J-Bar Landing Gear New brake pads 2020 Completed Fuel Tanks Strip & Reseal July 2020 – no leaks 64 Gallons Useable Fuel Capacity Useful Load: 1,011 lbs Total Time: 3481.34 Hours ENGINE SPECS: IO-360-A1A 200hp SN: L-2845-51A Latest Compressions: 75, 74, 78, 76 /80 Full Top Overhaul (4) Cylinders: March 2022 GAMI Injectors (balanced to < 0.1 spread) Sky-Tec Lightweight High Speed Starter Boost Pump Replaced with constant duty Welden 18020-A (July 2020) Bottom 4 Plugs Tempest Fine Wire to 4 Champion (July 2022) New Concord Battery (May 2024) Current Tach: 3481.34 TT Engine Hours: 1,122.34 SMOH (2359 tach) 689.88 (2791.46 tach) Since Rebuild (due to cracked case around starter bracket (serviceable case, main bearings replaced, reconditioned camshaft and lifters, 3 overhauled cylinders & 1 exchange) 75.29 STOH (3406.05 tach)- all 4 cylinders due to three low compression.

My first try at a GoPro video. I went did a few circuits at the airport up the road (Bhisho - FABE) and the clip is mostly of departing my local field, Wings Park (www.wingspark.co.za) and of returning. http://youtu.be/cTAaBk8Nym4
