MATTS875 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I believe someone struck a nerve!!! Pilots are gentlemen and ladies, so lets not throw stones.. Everybody play nice...Its a new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpilot Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have a suggestion. I have owned Beechcraft in the past and still frequent the beech talk forum. It's a great place They have rules in place for classifieds. You must post a price NO disparaging remarks-- it's up to the buyer to exercise due diligence These two rules (there are others) keep the tone mature and polite. Visitors to the site are not turned off and this adds to their perception of the pilots and the aircraft How about guys? Maturity and politeness. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantom Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Interesting that courtesy on this site is the rule rather than the exception, except when $$ is involved, and: 1. People buying or selling planes exhibiting strong opinions, faulty memories, over or under valued estimates, and like that. 2. People thinking about putting their planes on the market and overstating the planes virtues, speed, desirability, and like that. 3. Me being too harsh on some silly/lazy newbee blurb. 4. The dent and me having fun with each other, although I freely admit he's more civil than I am. 5. All of us taking umbridge of stinky, dirty, cargo parts on a Mooney pilot. ........feel free to add to this list, be please be polite doing so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 At least I didn't call him a stinky butt. Quite honestly, after having visited the PoA and AOPA sites, we're actually a fairly civilized group. I like to think of us as the Grey Poupons of mustards. http://youtu.be/mqIZa3PTX6c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wow! I've only just re joined the group, sure are a critical bunch!! At the end of the day the market will establish a value for the airplane being offered. If none of you are in that market then you opinions are meaningless to this seller.

tonyk628 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I am in the market however.... point me to the nearest E that has flown reasonably speaking (90 hours in 14 years isn't nearly enough) with complete logs, and a seller who is realistic about what planes are worth today and not 10 years ago and I'm there!

Seth Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I saw Alan's E in person and the exterior is indeed in good shape. I'd say he's accurate as to the condition of the paint. This aircraft accoridng to Alan sat inside for years and he was able to purchase it. Alan did not feel comfortable selling a plane with just a few hours since overhaul so long ago, so he decided to fly it himself for a good 50+ hours, and now that the engine is still running just fine, he's ready to sell it. He won't take a penny less than 35K, but find another E on the marekt for 35K. I think if you are at least interested in an E and are close enough talk with Alan and maybe you two will come to a deal. It's too nice of a plane that works just fine to part out. Good luck! -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Alan - Did she sell? There are some guys at GAI who may be interested in an F, but are cost conscious, and this may be a good fit for them - unless they need the space of an F. -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetdriven Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 If that's the case genius , why didn't you get a field approval... There is not any path to field approval with a part which is STC'd. I already tried that that and the FSDO denied it over the phone. They said I had to buy or transfer the STC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooneyPTG Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Can't we all just get along. Let the market decide the fate of the plane. As everyone knows Get a pre purchase inspection from a reputable mechanic before you spend a dime on a bird. I wouldn't believe anyone's story as a pilot is to close to the plane he is selling. Lets stop the 2 year old antics and behave like the honorable mooney pilots that we all are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
