cleatus99 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Ok so long ago when I was teenager I rode in a Mooney, and my friendly brokers says that is the plane I need. So the wife and I are looking for one to sit in, and see if we fit. Any volunteers? Also I've been told by Ins co that I will 15 hrs make & model dual before solo. Not too bad I thought... But before I start digging into the wallet, I'd atleast like to sit in one .... Quote

kris_adams Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 happy to help you out if you were in the Atlanta area. the 15 hour dual will depend on your recent experience. I had ~450 hours, 45 multi, no instrument rating when I bought mine and all I needed was a CFI sign off. I was a little surprised. Good luck in your search. Kris Quote

DonMuncy Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I hangar my M20K at RBD. Be very happy to have you and the wife try it on for fit. We can probably arrange for a flight sometime. Quote
Marauder Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I'm a little surprised that they are going to require 15 hours with over 20 hours in complex/high performance. You check with Falcon Insurance in San Antonio? Quote
cleatus99 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 I'm not sure which, I went through Duncan... Since I'm no IFR ticket... Most just said no.... Only one hadn't responded was global... Don, We'd love to drive over and take a look... Weekday Evenings weekend days? I live at 58T (near Decatur) Quote
DonMuncy Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I'm in the middle of a daytime project, so an evening would work best. And weekend evenings or weekday evenings. Just let me know what works for you two. I'm not waffling on my offer; Decatur is a long way. Don 214 207-6744 Quote
cleatus99 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 I do not mind the drive, we could drive out one evening after work in FT Worth... Quote
DonMuncy Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 How about next Tuesday. How does about 6:30 at RBD sound. Quote
cleatus99 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Don, sounds great... We'll be there... Thanks a lot! Quote
cleatus99 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 Don, thanks again for the talk and try on... It fit like a glove.... We are in the hunt right now.... But hoping to have some activity soon. Quote
DonMuncy Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Always glad to help a prospective Mooney owner. Let us know when you get your plane. Quote
