Cwalsh7997 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Hey guys as many of you who have followed my recent posts know I've been searching for a mooney. Well I have found it and my dad has just signed the contract and put he deposit down! I'm so excited and I've loved this plane ever since I saw it and I even don't mind the color! Lemme know what you guys think?? http://m.controller.com/ListingDetail/Index?industryName=CONTROLLER&listingId=1367383&categoryId=6 2 Quote
Houman Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Nice... Good luck with it, I hope you will do a pre-purchase inspection... Quote
Hector Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like it has some nice goodies and if priced right you can always paint it later and truly make it your own. Quote
bonal Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Congratulations hope everything checks out and you enjoy the ride. Quote

MooneyBob Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Hey, It's one beautiful plane. Happy for you. Quote
rbridges Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 I like that panel much better than some of the others. Nice airframe and engine times. Just get a good PPI. Even the nicest planes can have hidden issues. That 430w is screaming at you to get your instrument rating! Enjoy the plane. Quote

Amelia Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Oh, i do LIKE that hi-viz and cheerful paint! Cheers! I wish you hundreds of pleasant hours with her. Quote
drapo Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder... Â Enjoy! Quote
Hank Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Congrats! That looks like it will get the job done, and should work well for Instrument and Commercial training if you choose that route. Â Wave as you pass me . . . Quote
Culver LFA Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Nice F! Very close sibling to my F which is SN670221, they shared the assembly line. Quote
carl Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Wow  a 1967 F with original factory color. I have a 1967 E with the same color. Love it.  Stuart Florida,  you can fly all the time there. except today because Obama is playing golf !!!!! 1 Quote
BKlott Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like a pretty darn nice airplane to me! Have fun with it. Brian Quote
FloridaMan Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Is your dad adopting?  Nice looking airplane. I've got a '67 and could not be happier with it. Does yours have any sort of autopilot / wing leveler? Make sure you get good transition training; I recommend you go with Bruce Jaeger; he's reasonable and very knowledgable about Mooneys.  The retired 747 captain that I bought my Mooney from gave me a very good piece of advice: "If there's ever any doubt, don't go." Or, as my primary flight instructor gave an example, "you can have a smokin' hot blonde and brunette ready to go...I mean READY TO GO, and the weather isn't good for it and you have to say it's a 'no go.'" Quote
fantom Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Very nice, and NOT ugly at all. PPI is necessary on this plane before final buy. If you decide to paint it, Joe at http://www.hawkaircraftpainting.com/Â is the best, is reasonable, and is close to you. Â Best of luck! Quote

gsxrpilot Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Don't paint it, just polish it. Love that retro paint scheme. Â Congrats on the new plane. If I'm not mistaken, you're in Austin, right? We should get together for a $100 hamburger. There's a good Mooney community here when you're home from school. Quote
MyNameIsNobody Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 congrats. A LOT of plane for the money! Good job. Quote
ryoder Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Retro is cool. You should see my mustard colored vinyl. If this Mooney is a rockin don't come a knockin. Quote
Cyril Gibb Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Annual due May 2016 ? IFR due May 2017? Did I fall asleep (again) and miss a few months? Quote
