New owner of M20M N763RC

[pcheli]

I am the new owner of N763RC.

I will be flying it home later this week.

I have been frantically reading everything I can find on the internet.

I have a lot of experience flying really high (commercial airline pilot, 23 years) and a lot flying really low (Army helicopter pilot 12 years)

Hanging out in the low FL's with a couple close friends sounds fun.

I think I am just as excited about this airplane as I was about my nickel ride on active duty (first helicopter solo flight).

N763RC comes with

1660 TT

1100 SMOH

TKS

I bought it from Jim Carter in Jonesborough TN.

If anyone out there has any knowledge of this tail number, I'd love to hear your stories.

Otherwise, as I get use to her, I'm sure I'll have lots of question.

I promise to research questions prior to throwing out the same old ones that seem to go round and round.

First question is;

Thoughts on using Savvy Mx for the books?

Mooney mx near SLC Utah, no service centers for miles away?

I have gone over the POH a few times, seems straight forward.

Thank you in advance for all your thoughts and Guidence.

If you haven't experienced it yet, that's one heck of a traveling machine, but slow down and maneuver (working on my commercial now in a long body) and you'll LOVE the way she handles. Congrats!

They did good repairs after the accident in 2015?

As far as I can tell.
The mechanic works for Mooney at the factory in TX.

Congratulations! The Bravo is a phenomenal traveling machine.

I recommend spending some time on the TKS AFM supplement. TKS works really well, but it is more than a switch flip. Additionally, TKS needs regular maintenance. PM me if you would like a my procedure.

Cheers,
David

Very nice ride and thanks for the pics. I used to live in Jonesborough TN and trained at KTRI.

Brings back memories.

As long as it flies straight I wouldn't worry a bit then.

Welcome fellow Bravo pilot! There are a few of us here with first hand experience. If you haven't flown the long body Mooney's I'd highly recommend getting transition training, this is a conventional aircraft but it likes to flown a certain way, especially on approach and landings. Others will chime in on that I'm sure.

If you have any engine questions, I'll try to help. I've spent some time on that topic.

Have fun!

Anybody know of anyone near Jonesborough TN that would do a couple hours Intro flight?

Sign up for a MAPA PPP training somewhere and meet more Mooney pilots too. Highly recommended...

 

They could help you find an instructor as well...

Second for MAPA'S PPP. www.mooneypilots.com, pricing is impressively low. Took one in my C a month after completing transition training, highly recommend it.

Looks like a great M model and a great deal to boot. I have a '93 M also. The only thing that bugged me on the pictures on this one was the poor job of painting the semi circle (arc) on the pilot's side of the tail compared to co-pilot's side. It shouldn't take that much to get that fixed. And the word "Bravo" on the wings has to go.     Congratulations !!

Welcome to the Bravo community, nice looking plane, good luck, don't fly it like the Huey's
