gamefreak32 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Tail number is N1072Z. It has been on the market for quite a while, which usually means there is something wrong with it. I can't find any damage history or major repairs in a history search. Definitely needs a new paint job, but other than that it appears there is nothing mechanically wrong. Avionics and interior look decent for an '81 model, but nothing special. I figured I would post here to see if anyone has checked it out and uncovered anything. I don't really want to waste the time to call the seller and figure out it hasn't flown in 5 years. http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/aircraft/Single+Engine+Piston/1981/Mooney/M20J+201/1589603.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Send a PM to N74795. I think Alan is based there or at least knows most of the planes in the area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orionflt Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm wondering how bad the corrosion is, the plane may only be good for scrap. hopefully the spot alan took a picture of is limited to that area and isn't beyond repairing. hate to say it but with what I see from the pics he may have trouble getting 25K for it.

mooniac15u Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Scrap? All you need is some pliers, a set of thirty weight ball-bearings ... Some 3-in-1 Oil and gauze pads ... It's all ball bearings nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple8s Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 @ KDKX there is an E model that's been on tie down for a good 25yrs very sad to watch. Back around 2008 I was getting instruction from a fellow who flew a 231 for a lawyer, it was a decent bird, it has the original king stack and GB engine but has a low time engine not a bad machine. The owner ended up dying with cancer a few years ago and the plane has been on tie down aleast 3 years. I'm sure the heirs think it's worth a war pension, and I'm also sure they'll hold it looking for that pension and it will end up dying a long agonizing death baking in the summer sun and freezing and thawing cycles in the winter.
