If you want to come down to AVQ, the guys there know Mooneys pretty well. The "second in command" there flies a Mooney Rocket regularly too. Personally, I would NOT use the guys at CHD. Quote
Mooney13 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks... I'll see about the option of moving it after calling them. Was hoping to find someone close or able to travel a little. They can use the hangar its in and would be real basic pre buy because it has not flown much at all since last annual a couple months ago... Hopping Glendale aero can do it soon, but they are slammed Quote

MB65E Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Talk to JOHN or James at Glendale aero service at GEU. They probably know the airplane pretty well already. Looks like you might have tried them. There are a few older M20s that they have done a lot of work on. If your plan is to keep it there hopefully they can fit you in. -Matt Quote

Mooney13 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Posted July 13, 2016 Glendale aero has been doing the annuals. They are just really busy. Annual was done a couple months ago, flown approx 4 hours, then owner got hurt and cannot fly so put the plane up for sale . It's not staying in AZ...coming home to Seattle ! I feel good about Glendale Aero, they are just very busy and not sure when they can get to it...so was hoping to find a familiar A/P in the area Thanks! Joe Quote
Mooney13 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Posted July 13, 2016 Also, John and Glendale said its in great shape.. Quote
carqwik Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Are you looking at a later model Ovation there? If it's the one I'm thinking about, I ferried that plane (from SDL to GEU for the broker)! I was reminded how powerful the Ovation is relative to the Bravo on takeoff/climb/cruise at low altitudes. (IIRC, this Ovation has the wide chord three bladed prop...) Plane flew just fine. Good luck! Quote
