A visit to their site revealed nothing, as did a visit to the Motherland. Presumably the March MAPALog will have an article. I hope The Mistress doesn't find out that I am lusting after another. The wife would just kill me. Quote
MyNameIsNobody Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 McStealth can apparently now tell all. What a weird way to roll out such a dramatic and awesome improvement by Mooney? Good for Mooney on the upgrades to the airframe. Should sell some new Mooney's and get some looking for an upgrade. Thanks for sharing. 2 Quote
201er Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Hahaha... Even if it's true, it's 20 years too late. Quote
MyNameIsNobody Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Yes, not buying this at all yet... Quote
Yetti Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 The nice thing about one door is the pilot gets a chance to orient yourself before you try to get out with some level of grace. My hanger neighbor said "reminds me of a clown car every time I see you get out of that thing" A pilot door I guess would allow you to waller around on the wing and then roll off. Quote
Yetti Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 oh and black seats in Texas is always a bad idea. y'all must no be from around here Quote

Mark89114 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 It is on the mooney website right now, so it must be real. I just don't have a spare $769,000 laying around, plus floor mats. Quote
rbridges Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Awesome! Now I just have to wait 45 years until it depreciates into my price range. 10 Quote
Jeff_S Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Looks pretty cool. An update to the panel by adding the Cirrus-style FMS keys, although with my aging eyes, I'm coming to appreciate the FMS knobs more and more. The second door will attract new buyers who want a more car-like style of transport...and will support the fuel-tank repair specialists with another wing-walk fuel seep to repair! The composite shell may be an improvement, although it hasn't affected the rated speeds or weight. All in all, I think it shows a degree of forward thinking that can only help sell airplanes...after all, if you were going to sink $699,000 into an Acclaim, the extra $70K ain't gonna matter! 2 Quote

Geoff Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 Just now, Geoff said: Oops. The new paint job makes it look like a Comanche! In addition to the paint but it looks like the rear window changed shape, kinda oblong looking to me. Quote
jetdriven Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 the technology and the sdecond door are cool. the fke window outline on the paint and the 1959 reverse swoop on the forward cowl are just plain ugly Quote
