Service Manuals for E

[Discus]

Howdy all!  My wife and I just purchased a beautiful 1970 M20E, N6804V.  We are based out of 0E0, Moriarty, New Mexico. We do most of our own work under supervision of an IA, (she is a certified lights port mechanic and I will be completing my A&P this fall)  and are looking for the service and parts manuals for both the M20E and the IO-360. If anyone has these, they would be much appreciated.  I have included a photo of us with our new baby.

Welcome and congratulations on the new airplane! You will find an absolute wealth of information from the people on this site!

Make sure you fill in all your information. It makes it much easier for people to help out.

These manuals should cover your airplane. They are from the 75F, but they cover most of the Vintage aircraft.

Welcome.....I couldn't help but notice the upper portion of your verticle stabilizer. You've got an Aerostar. They actually owned Mooney Corp for a year or so. Rare bird.....and nice looking!

Yep...agree, and loving that 2-bladed Hartzell scimitar as well.  Excellent prop.  Welcome to the community, and congrats again on your new family member.  Fly safe, and send us a panel pic or two if you think about it.

Regards, Steve

Welcome! I have a 1970 C, but it doesn't have the stinger tail. I've heard people call it the Butler tail, too. Yours is different at the top and the bottom. It's hard to see in your picture, does your rudder go all the way down, or stop at the horizontal stabilizer? It's strange that our planes were built differently in the same year; I always thought thenonkyndifference between C and E models was the engine, some accessories, baffling and details of the cowl.

Check the homepage, there is a Download section there with a lot of great information. I can't email the Maintenance Manual, it's over 20 MN, but I think I uploaded it.

Fly safe, and good luck with your A&P!

Mooney sells up to date maintenance, parts, operating manuals on a single thumb drive. Contact a MSC.

Several attendees at the recent MooneyMax maintenance workshop bought one for their plane at that time. For older models i think a J model manual is included as well because a lot of systems are the same and Mooney had improved and expanded their manuals by the time the J came out.

Welcome aboard!

The Butler button hook and stinger tail are precious!

Hank,. The rudder stops at the stab.  Knew this one was rare.  It flies great!  Let me see if I can find a panel shot for you fellas that were asking. Thanks for having this great site!  It's good to know people.  *edit*. Tried to upload file but it does not seem to like me tonight.

Congrats and welcome.  Looks like the previous owner took good care of it.

Yep, that's my panel, except I don't have the two pieces of horizontal trim. Your yoke clock doesn't have the red non-moving hands? I set them for engine start time, and use them to track flight time and tank changes.

I take back my statement on the rudder. The whole stinger tail moves. I'm still learning!  :-)

As rare as these are, could you take a couple of pictures? Straight and full deflection would be cool! I'm sure many people would find them of interest. If you're ever in the Southeast, let me know, I'd love to see it. It's so unusual that our planes are the same year but are so different.

Huh. 21-0002, in 1970? My serial is 70-00075. Something happened during the year that changed aircraft design and serial number format? "Rare bird" sounds like a serious understatement!

All very interesting.  The IA I am working with saw something in the data plate that indicated that it actually started life as an experimental version of Aerostars "E" with the standard airworthiness certificate issued the first week of January of '71. I guess that's why I keep calling it a 70.  So what do I call her?  A '71, or a '70?  (Now I have Johnny Cash's "One piece at a time" running through my head!  Thanks, guys!)

Hank,. I'll let you know if I get over to your neck of the woods!  You are also invited to New Mexico any time!

I'd say it's a '71. One of 23 built.  

Beginning in '71 serial numbers indicated the model but not the year:

M20C: 20-XXXX;  

M20E 21-XXXX;

M20F 22-XXXX,

M20J 24-XXXX;

M20K 25-XXXX

M20L 26-XXXX

M20M 27-XXXX

M20R 29-XXXX

M20S 30-XXXX

I know I'm years late posting on this thread, but I thought you might be interested to know that a picture of your M20E N6804V appeared in an article in Flying magazine, October 1983. I could email you a scan if you wanted. Steve.

If you pm me your email address....
