Looking for an M20K Rocket with TKS

[Nopo]

If you have one and would consider selling, pls PM me. Thanks.

Hi Nopo - there aren't alot out there, but there are a few I have seen for sale over the years, and I encourage you to try.  Its a fantastic setup!  So much so - I'm sorry, but you can't have mine since I'm not selling - I really like it - it suits my needs and tastes just right.

There is a 252 listed for sale in this month's MAPA Log...  

[Nopo]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already own a 231 and a 252 is probably not significantly better.

[aviatoreb]

huh? then why were you asking if you are not interested in anything but what you have?

He is looking for the Rocket conversion with TKS.  I'd love one if it had the same useful load as my 231

I understand now - I was confused.

You might consider a Bravo too. I started shopping for Rockets and ended up with my Bravo. I'm a speed junkie but have never been disappointed with my TLS.

[Nopo]

Bravos are great aircraft! Nevertheless, I would rather get a Rocket. Thanks!

Welcome aboard Rocket.  Really, a welcome on your first post.

consider starting a new post in this same area.

Photos and details are pretty easy to post.  Planes are really starting to sell around here.

Best regards,

I talked to him about it. He said he out it on trade a plane but I can't find it yet. Sounds like a pretty clean basic rocket.  I think he said 700stoh and 1700smoh and he's asking 135. When I find the ad I'll post it.

I have a 1984 rocket that we are repairing after a landing accident. It does not have tks. Let me know if you are interested.

[MB65E]

You'll be in the 150-190k range.

I've been looking hard too.

-a- I don't believe that's the one.

However, That's about the only Rocket for sale with TKS currently. It happens to be fairly nice.

I'd be interested to know how many rockets in total have had TKS installed.  I'm willing to bet that number is less than 10... probably even less than 5.

Even fewer missiles I bet Job.

Before counting those with TKS - How many M20J and how many M20K were there - and of those - how many rockets and how many missiles were there?

I think I remember reading that the rocket was far and away the more popular conversion, and that the total number of missile conversions was only somewhere in the 30's.  I've yet to see another TKS'd missile out there....
