Hank Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 You'll grow to love your C. I love mine! Learn lots, practice often and fly safe. Quote
fantom Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome James and my hat's off to you.... Â As an avid reader of MooneySpace, you purchased your plane without asking our advise. VERY SMART Â Best of luck with that nice plane! 1 Quote
Shadrach Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Hi James, Welcome! Could you tell me a bit about those panel overlays? Are they real wood? I saw a Debonair once that was outfitted similarly. It what you'd see in a reminiscent of the British automobile in the 60s. I liked the look a lot; but the owner told me it was a custom job with a not so moderate price tag... Quote
Hector Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome aboard James. I have a 67C that I purchased a little over a year ago. Lovett it! And she has been great so far. You will enjoy her a lot Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote
N33GG Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Great looking aircraft James! As a C owner, you will have to put up with a lot of C envy from the other model owners. If you're an engineer, you will get double envy here. Congrats and welcome! Quote
Oscar Avalle Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome aboard. I had my M20C for more than 10 years now... and I still love her. It is a great plane. I am sure you will enjoy her and the great Mooney community. Don;t hesitate to ask questions. The guys here know a lot and are extremely helpful! Just don't start arguing about LOP and ROP... or 2 and 3 blade props. Quote
yvesg Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome James. I also have a 1965 M20C, little sister I guess. Yves From cold north Canada. Yes winter is here already! Quote
HRM Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome! Not quite a Super 21, but a gorgeous bird nonetheless  Quite mint as well, looks like she's been well-cared for. Quote
Aron Peterson Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome aboard James, I think you will enjoy your new bird. Quote
flyboy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Glad to have you James, nice looking Mooney. I am on the other side of South Carolina. Are you thinking of going to Sun N Fun this spring? 1 Quote
Htwjr Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Nice plane. I just got a '67 M20C in June and have been enjoying it. This is a great place to learn a lot about it. I am not too far away. Might see you around some time. Enjoy. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Enjoy the new to you C. If you like to work on your machine, you will enjoy much of the advice like how to replace that ragged thing next to the door and the matching seal that goes with it. I started with a 65C as well, it grew... -a- Quote
triple8s Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Congrats! I owned a C for 5 yrs and traded up last spring, still miss it badly. So many things a C can do. The C and E were probably the most versatile ever made by Mooney, fast, tough, economical...... I don't know of any other 180/200 hp airplane that can do 145-155 Kt, land on grass, climb into the teens, they are just so versatile. 2 Quote
MtPleasantFlyer Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Posted November 23, 2013 Glad to have you James, nice looking Mooney. I am on the other side of South Carolina. Are you thinking of going to Sun N Fun this spring? I've already got my tickets! Can't wait. Last year was my first year and will for sure be a long time attendant. You? Quote

Nice little check list on them. Quote
