Mcstealth Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 I was watching a documentary on the Concord last night. Showing a panoramic view of the Smithsonian, there is a Mooney hanging from the ceiling close to the Concord. I could not make out which model it is. I'm sure someone here knows. it is on my list of things to do, go to the Air and Space museum. I think I would really enjoy it. David Quote
MB65E Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Looks like it. N3199K. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N3199K.html I have not been there in a long time. -Matt Quote
Mooneymite Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) If my memory serves me correctly, that's a 1950 Mite.... I believe this particular Mite had the Continental 65-12 engine. Most Mites have the -8 engine. The -12 engine was specifially produced for Mooney and had an accessory case that permitted a starter and generator. If you're interested in buying a Mite, this would be a great model to own. However, my memory being what it is, it might be a helicopter.... If you're interested in the M-18 Mooney, go to http://mooneymite.com/ Edited September 2, 2016 by Mooneymite Quote
