New Heights Aviation Posted September 25, 2013 Report Posted September 25, 2013 I am excited to assist my local Mooneyspace friend Mark Thompson with the sale of his gorgeous 1982 Mooney Missile as he is in the middle of a relocation across the country. Bottom line - phenomenal engine/prop/airframe times, no-excuse preventive maintenance, and probably the only TKS cross-country airplane with NDH and fresh IO-550 overhaul that can be had for the low-$140s. I know the seller, Mark, very well - he is an honest and detail oriented guy that does not put up with squawks. I have flown this aircraft and personally vouch for its condition. Especially when compared with an Ovation or comparatively equipped Bonanza, this Missile represents tremendous value for an owner that desires long-distance all-WX IFR travel but not a $200k+ price point. I think you all are familiar with the Missile conversion so I will not take the time to explain it. The bottom line is that Rocket Engineering supports the product 100% - as they did earlier this year with new engine mounts. The IO-550 was overhauled by Poplar Grove in 2012 and with recent GAMIs, runs turbine-smooth LOP. We've had success at 165 KTAS at 10.2gph, as well as 180+ KTAS when 150 ROP - the option is yours. 93 usable gallons gives you 1240nm with IFR reserves when 20 deg LOP. Even at gross, 1550fpm is impressive...and gives my E55 Baron a run for its $$! N301TV is flown weekly and has always been hangared. Previous long-time Midwest ownership: zero corrosion. Complete logs. High-resolution photo site with 80+ images: http://www.N301TV.com Demo flights and showings available for serious prospects. Aircraft located at KGWW (Goldsboro, NC), about 1 hour East of Raleigh, NC. Aircraft delivery and type-specific insurance training available.

New Heights Aviation Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Posted November 18, 2013 He's already here! I'll let him reveal his identity when he chooses. Quote
M016576 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Tomorrow's a big day: I'm taking delivery of N301TV! Can't wait! 2 Quote
FlyDave Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Congratulations!!! I looked at your Missile about 4 years ago, flew it and was almost ready to put an offer in on it. But the owner didn't tell me until after I flew it that someone either had or was sending a deposit on it. I still had a little "work" to do to be ready to buy it so I didn't get it. You're getting a very nice airplane - and a low time rebuilt engine. You're going to enjoy the heck out of it. Have a GREAT day picking up your new airplane! Quote
Seth Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 Welcome to the Missile camp and congratulations. Very fast bird - much heavier airplane than the stock J, just be ready for that during landing. You'll love the feeling of the 300 ponies. PM me anytime for Missile questions. -Seth Quote

Very fast bird - much heavier airplane than the stock J, just be ready for that during landing. You'll love the feeling of the 300 ponies. PM me anytime for Missile questions. -Seth The nose certainly is heavier! Takes more back stick (yoke) pressure on takeoff and the NU trim is nearly maxed out on landing. Other than that, she flys great! I actually have had better landings in the missile so far rather than the J... Then again , I've only had 2 so far! Quote
