gsxrpilot Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 I'm hoping to get in a proper speed run test and that time to climb test you all were doing awhile back, over the upcoming holidays. I'm pretty sure that if I don't care about fuel burn and push hard ROP around 11gph, I can go faster than 150kts TAS. If I lean it back to LOP as far as I can and still have a smooth running engine, I'll still be faster than 140kts. Quote

Not sure about that, but I will put my M20C up against ANY airplane in the most important performance standard:. MP$ (miles per dollar). It leads just based on acquisition price, if you throw in maintenance and maintenance reserves, it's the winner hands down. 2 Quote

The numbers you're looking for would be awesome. I do know you have a sweet C. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

cnoe Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 Ahhhhhhhhh. The Mooney "Trifecta"! Speed, Economy, AND cheap maintenance. Well, I guess two out of three ain't bad. Sigh. Quote

It leads just based on acquisition price, if you throw in maintenance and maintenance reserves, it's the winner hands down. Don't forget to subtract the sales price, otherwise the cheapest airplane would almost always win. If you do that, I think all NA lycoming 4 cyl would end up roughly the same. Quote

bradp Posted November 26, 2016 Report Posted November 26, 2016 Zombie thread alert. This came up in the current discussion of J speeds. I was just wondering if the original poster ever had a resolution to his problemSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Llcrt Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Posted November 26, 2016 I have not solved the problem yet, but I do suspect a worn cam or fuel flow issue. I will verify the camshaft soon. It's either going to be good or not. If it is good, then something with fuel flow. This has been very time consuming and expensive Quote
