bonal Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 This one will be short lived. Ours is a D model but its converted I know on the record its called a D but its really a C in terms of airframe and prop. Should I call it a d or a c Opinions wanted.
chrisk Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 If I owned it, I would call it a "D". --Just to be different, and I think most people here know what a M20D is and most have been converted.
Alan Fox Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 There are 2 left in their original configuration.....I actually have a POH for a D model.......I don't believe I will ever be able to sell it..
mooniac15u Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 C....it was converted to a C. It was not converted to a C. It was modified to be a D with retractable gear. An F with a J cowling is still an F. 1
mooniac15u Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 I owned a D for 8 years (converted). I always called it a D but it was usually a good conversation topic.
rbridges Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 It was not converted to a C. It was modified to be a D with retractable gear. An F with a J cowling is still an F. A rocket conversion is usually referred to as a rocket, but I'd still call the OP's plane a D.
Alan Fox Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 A Rocket is still a 231 , just a faster heavier one.... 1
Seth Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 My Missile is an M20J Missile 300 - it's an M20J Your D is a D that had the gear converted. -Seth 1
DaV8or Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Why don't you shock the aviation world, solve your dilemma and restore your plane back to the fixed gear. While you're at it, put the original type fixed pitch prop on it too. You're welcome. Just here to help. 1
Hank Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Then there would be four! One of the original three is on this board, but I forget his name.
DaV8or Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Then there would be four! One of the original three is on this board, but I forget his name. Sven I think. I wonder if all original fixed gear parts could be found?
bonal Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Well I'm sure it would be nuts to spend a bunch of money to slow our baby down. It's a D and that's that. Thanks for the input.
fantom Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 All TLS owners with the 'wet head' modification call their planes Bravo's. Not entirely accurate IMHO.
