jetdriven Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 For those of you that have a Mooney without a dorsal fin (or if yours is damaged) and the LASAR unit sounds expensive, here's a free factory one to rivet on. Just pay the freight. I hate to chop up airworthy parts. I haven't verified it but it should be the same part number. My buddy's 1964 M20E sure looks the same.

Will PM you with my contact info. My 75F should have the same fuselage as the 77J.

Marauder Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Damn Chris, you beat me to it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Byron and I exchanged messages on it. My 75 has this one so I won't need it.
N6758N Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I don't have one at all, I would love to add one though. I'll pm you Byron. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
MB65E Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I have one from my E. If anyone wants it... I'll check the condition. Didn't know there was a demand. Same deal... -Matt
N6758N Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 The one in front of the vertical stab, right? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

bonal Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 So do tell, what is the advantage of the dorsal I can see that it might add some stability in yaw does it give a boost in speed. Seems like most have them.
Hank Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I've never seen a Mooney without one, although apparently they were not standard on all C's. But I have one . . .
kerry Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 That's my favorite paint scheme on a Mooney vertical stabilizer.
M204ever Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Bonal, like your window "extension". The fin, if GFRP material, covers the ELT antenna, nothing else.
bonal Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I think the short body's look sleeker with out the fin IMHO. Thanks for the nice comments on the paint scheme.
N6758N Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Still have this ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
