Firstly thank you all for letting me join your forum and participate. After many years of admiring Mooneys I have now decided to bite the bullet and buy one. I am an AME in Australia which is the equivalent of an A&P so labour on the plane isn't an issue but I don't want to get caught out by any unknown problems because I am not familiar with the type, that will require capital. I am currently looking at a 1981 M20J with 8500 hours that has been owned by a Charter/Flying School organization that is well used but looks like it has been maintained well. I may also be able to buy its sister ship which has a completely rebuilt wing that is separated from the fuse. Any advice on gotcha's would be appreciated. Especially interested in opinions of the 8500 hours on the fatigue life of the aircraft, cheers and thanks in advance George
