66 E for Sale

[tomn]

I’m selling my 66 E Super 21.  This is a higher time plane that’s in great shape and flies frequently – always has.  I use it primarily for IFR travel – usually longer distances (over 16 hrs the last three days).  It is a cross country performer with a Stec 50 AP but is also great for local flights.  It has a 201 windshield, cowl enclosure, etc. 

 

The engine has been upgraded to an IO 360 A3B6 with separate mags.  It was recently reworked with many new or overhauled parts unfortunately but still carries a high log time – call for details.

 

I know this plane inside and out and would be happy to share all the information I have about the plane, its history, how it’s flown, etc.  I’m looking to switch to an Ovation.  Give me a call if you’d like to discuss.  Here are the details and pictures.

That is a very nice looking plane

 

do you have a pdf of the logs I could look at?

I read somewhere that although the Mooney is not life limited, the theoretical fatigue life is somewhere around 41,000 hours. Your airplane is 19% of that. Not high time at all.

I agree.  The only issue mine has is a strange situation with the motor time.  I may go ahead and have it "0" timed at this point.  We'll see.

Looks like a great buy for someone who understands how little airframe time really matters. I'll take credit for putting about 2500 of those hours on it when I owned 49M from 1977 to 1988.  It treated me so well I bought another one like it. Good luck Tom.

What would it cost to "0" time?

Tom:

Looks like a great plane from what I can see, but if you had a recent major overhaul, wouldn't putting in a factory reman engine be a bit counterproductive?  A 0 SMOH engine sure isn't a 0 SFRM, but it's not bad at all, and I would think that would be a horribly expensive change to make that change for the not-that-much more value you would get out of it.

 

I sure wish you had a GPS in there, then it would be a perfect plane for me.   I'll give you a call tomorrow anyway; perhaps this could be the plane I'm looking for.  It's almost 9:30 PM on a Sunday night now so not the best time to call.

For the record I was asking about what he thought he was going to spend to do a "0" smoh... 

[pinerunner]

My understanding is that a factory remanufacured engine is basicly a bunch of parts from separate bins, all of which then have unknown time on them. I'd just as soon have one that has been overhauled by a good, meticulous, mechanic with new parts where indicated.

Congrats on the sale Tom, and good luck with the purchase of the Ovation.  Please keep us posted, we want pictures!

If you look at Tom's new avatar picture, it doesn't look like any Ovation I've ever seen! Another Mooney flier goes Beechcraft...  Mooneys really seem to be the "in between" plane. After renting but before the ultimate.   Oh well, there's always new folks to meet on their way to a Bonanza, because the Mooney really does appeal to the sick of renting folks.

Does that mean he can't come back here anymore?

We let them back because they can tell us how much more money they spend on gas.

My favorite is Brett with the twin IO550s. He can't leave.

Bravo John, now with the twin Mooney, stops by every now and then.

Alan has both, the Mooney and V...

I would bet, once a Mooney guy, you will always compare what you have now to the Mooney you had before.

I'd hate to have to leave for a single engine slow machine, with less efficiency.

The skies are always bluer when you fly a Mooney...

Best regards,

Brett is back because down deep he has seller's remorse. He sold a great J. Has a nice Baron but a great J trumps that -- right Brett?

As for Alan, well, quite simply, he has a split personality. He doesn't know if he wants to be a Beech or a Mooney owner. Having flown in his Beech I know why he developed the split personality -- but good God man! Make up your mind!

I have to say I never thought i'd own anything but a Mooney. My second favorite plane has always been the Bonanza but my Mooney was a the top of the list for sure. I had looked all around for a nice Ovation but could not find one - all had one issue or another that disqualified them for me. After looking at O's in FL, TX, NC, etc., I was getting very frustrated with the search - nothing unusual from what people tell me. Out of the blue, a 94 F33a in the hanger next to mine became available word of mouth - pristine condition and loaded with everything I wanted. Two days later the deal was done.

This is the first Bonanza I have ever flown and I must say they are a joy to drive. It cruises at about 175 knots on 14.5 gph at 9000 - 11.5 to 12 LOP gives about 170. It is a utility category plane, is very comfortable to sit in for long distances, and landing is a breeze. Very smooth running and quiet inside.

I still have Mooney in my blood and I don't expect that to change but so far I'm pretty happy with the Bo.

I'll still be here - really enjoy everything Mooney and all of you!

How about some pictures (exterior and interior) Tom?

[tomn]

Here are a few pictures of the new plane! I don't have any panel shots yet... can add them soon.

Looks great!  Use it well!
