Title says it all. I have read zillions of posts on MooneySpace, but not seen many owners or mechanics in the Kansas City area.

Hey all, I saved the capital...then waited a several more months to have 2x what I think it’s going to cost to buy a Pre-J Mooney. Ha! I’m ready to start conducting some Prebuys and putting in some offers. I want to be ahead of the ball here and see if I can start building a relationship with an AP/IA mechanic that is very familiar with Vintage Mooneys. Does anyone have a line to a mechanic in SoCal? (I’m based at John Wayne KSNA) Do you know if they do local prebuy inspections? Also are there a short body Mooney prebuy inspection checklists that people use for reference? Any other tips or pitfalls on prebuys and acquisition? I’m clearly new to this. -Trent

Hi, My airplane is located a KBTP (Butler County Airport); however, I will reposition it when and if applicable. I am trying to stay within 1 hour driving time from the center of Pittsburgh, PA --- so this include certain neighboring areas such as Ohio and West Virginia, which are part of the tri-state area of Pittsburgh. I am looking for a mechanic (A&P) that meets the following: Honest Reasonable Knowledgeable of Mooney M20J model If you know anyone that fits send me a message. Thanks. -
I'm looking for an A&P or an IA in the Kansas City area who can help me obtain a special flight/ferry permit for my 1966 M20C. I understand that it's a matter of filling out the form for a ferry permit, and looking at the plane to confirm that the plane is safe for this one-time flight. The form is then forwarded/FAXed to the controlling FAA FSDO where the FAA signs off and FAXes it back. The plane was flown to its current location, Signature TechnicAir (KMKC) on 03 June 2013, had a recent history of flying, and was in annual until March 2013. TechnicAir obtained the flight permit for the flight on 03 June 2013, but refuses to help me obtain another permit. The reason for the flight is to take the airplane to a repair facility, Don Maxwell (KGGG), that is more experienced with the maintenance discrepancies needing repair in order to complete the annual. One of the airworthiness discrepancies is cracks in the rear spar. Don Maxwell told me that he sees 2 or 3 of these each year, i.e. the rear spar cracks for which Mooney published a service bulletin and makes a repair kit. Can anyone help me? -- Bobby Rakes, (573) 337-3447
