1982 TKS Missile - Special MooneySpace price - $144k

[mwthomps2010]

Hey folks,

 

The military is moving me very soon and as much as it pains me to do, I need to sell my Missile soon.  It is a uniquely equipped aircraft and I've enjoyed it so much, but life dictates that it has to go and I would FAR prefer it go to a good home with Mooney folks who would appreciate this plane for what it is.

 

So, I'm asking $144,000 now, but only advertising that here. I know I am biased, but I think this is a good value.

 

Call me (630-849-3608) or email (mwthomps2010@yahoo.com) with any questions. I have logs and more pictures that I can send if interested.

1982 Mooney Missile for sale.  Rocket Engineering STC to convert a standard M20J by adding a Continental IO-550A and a 3-blade, fully feathering Hartzell Scimitar prop. VERY low engine and prop times (120 SMOH and 90 SOH)

 

TKS anti/de-ice equipped. Only de-iced Missile I've seen anywhere. IFR equipped with a Garmin GNS 430W, KFC-150 autopilot, and King KNS-80 Nav/Comm with glideslope as radio/nav #2.

 

It is tough to beat this aircraft's speed-to-cost ratio.  Rich of peak, it will cruise at 175-180 KTAS on 16-17.5 GPH. It has GAMIs, so it can cruise lean-of-peak very smoothly at 155-165 KTAS on only 10.5-11 GPH. Better gas mileage than my wife's mini-van.

 

Other equipment includes a US-8A eight-point engine analyzer, 2 x Whelen Parmetheus LED landing lights, Monroy long range fuel tanks (93 gal useable), 2013 Weep-No-More main and aux tank re-seal, Tanis plug-in engine heater and new nose-gear shock discs (4/13).Grey leather interior installed in 2007 in good condition. New tires (8/13).

 

Useful load is 1000 lbs. Even if you top it off with all 93 gallons (rarely have I had to do that), that still allows about 400 lbs full-fuel payload.  Bear in mind that is 93 gallons...that gets you a 4-7 hour endurance depending if you decide to run it rich or lean of peak, usually way more than I need.  I usually on put 70-75 gal in it, and that's plenty.

 

Asking $144,000. Considering that TKS is a $42,000 option installed, this aircraft is a bargain with its low engine and prop times and how it is equipped.  I don't want to sell it, but the family is outgrowing 4 seats and the military is moving me soon!

 

Aircraft located in Goldsboro, NC (for now!).

Good luck.

Again - heck of a deal.  The Missile is FAST and if you slow it down LOP, it will run at 11.8-12 GPH in the 165-175 knot range depending on conditions and altitude.

 

I have one - and this one has TKS.  That makes a huge difference in cooler weather at altitude.

 

Can't endorse this model any more than I have.  If you want Missile ops info from someone who is not the seller - PM me.
