Bob_Belville Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Nice. Boy, the chin of the Js are sure clean compared to vintage cowls...
kevinw Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Congratulations! Great looking bird. Taking home that new plane was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I'm sure you feel the same. Enjoy your J; one of the best to come off the line in Kerrville! 1
RobertE Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 That's a lovely aircraft, inside and out. Question: What is the function of the black leading edge? Those aren't boots, are they? Is it just a surface treatment? If so, does it work?
dlthig Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Looks great! I painted the leading edge of my Cherokee gloss black. It was easier to touch up when necessary and the bugs didn't show as bad and cleaned off easier. Mine tapered off at the back of the fat Hershey bar wingtip. I thought it looked good. Still not a Mooney though. The low pass picture is beautiful.

Purely cosmetic, makes cleaning the leading edge a bit easier, also looks nice IMHO.
amillet Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Congratulations! We also have a 97 J. Similar panel too. We've had N1984L for 12 years. You'll love it. 1
Robert C. Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Congratz, what a beauty! May you enjoy her for many years and many miles 1

carusoam Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Looks like one of the last Js to leave the factory. Congrats on the acquisition. Best regards, -a- 1
