Hi guys! My name is Jesse, Im a 24 year old Private Pilot who loves Mooneys and would one day love to own a 1979 Mooney M20J exactly like my grandfathers. I am going to be doing my High Performance and Complex rating here in the next week or two! I mainly hang out on reddits flying forum, but others there recommended that you all here might like to hear about my efforts.
In an attempt to save up for my instrument, I have drawn a Mooney M20E(C) design (among others) for a t shirt that I’m trying to sell to help fund my training. I list them for sale on amazon, and a company prints them and ships them to you in just over a week or so. I would love it if you guys could take a look. If you have any suggestions for other models or tips, I’d be happy to incorporate them or add them into the design!

Thank you guys!!

Here is the amazon link. smile.amazon is the same amazon, but they send a small piece to our favorite Mooney charity. For more info on the connection ask Mooney CFII Mike in Florida...@mike_elliott. At this page you will see the indication 'supporting Mooney Summit, inc.

NOW IN WOMENS and Youths!

Nice stuff 

[bonal]

Very nice and I wish you luck with your shirts and training.  I hope you have checked with Mooney for any copy rights they may hold some companies are very protective of their designs

[gsxrpilot]

Nicely done... and one has been ordered.

[Raptor05121]

You left the step down!

I'll get one soon enough

[Chocks]

My step is fixed.   

Ordered one too!

[jrwilson]

Can you do a j/k (201/231) design too?  I'll buy one of those...

Picky, picky, picky... no one looking at your shirt will be able to tell the difference.

Thank you very much! No I have not. That is one thing that worries me. I tried to combine designs between the 20E and C, to not be exact, and I did that with other models as well (150 crossed with a 152). If they do speak up about someone using their designs, I will take them down immediately. I was hoping I could use my drawlings under free use though... And thats why I mostly try to stick with drawing out of production models...

oh yea!!  Vacuum operated step.  As soon as you fire the engine on my F the step retracts.  On shut down it comes clunking down.  Mooneys are all about cheap speed, cant have that drag hanging out there.

whats your reddit handle?  Im flying_alt over there.

MSers will be able to tell the difference between a '70s Js and the latter Js from the 80s

Yeah but none of us can see your t-shirt... or even that you might not be even wearing pants while surfing MS.

Well if you have a Mooney that has a fixed step, the shirt is accurate. If it retracts, then the shirt is even more accurate because the pump will probably fail at some point and get stuck haha! I'm jessejamess overthere on reddit. I got the suggestion to do most of the planes I have up right now from those guys so I'll be making a post there sometime next week too!

And if any of y'all are going to be at the AOPA Camarillo Fly In, I plan on putting up a small table outside my friends hangar and selling some there too! KCMA is my home airport! Though I'll have mostly 172 shirts since that seems to be the majority type that come.

That's all right.

If you start making Cirrus shirts, we may ask you to leave, however.

I cannot thank you enough! Thank you to everyone who ordered so far! 

[Bug Smasher]

Cool, I'll order one! Well done!

[Vlakvark]

Tried to order. No shipping up to Canada. 

[MB65E]

Great idea!! Good luck with your training. I would think what you have is considered "artwork"

Its not copied from anything  Mooney I have seen. If corporate wants to shoot you down on this they have some real problems.

Well Done!!

I like it, ordered one. Wish you luck in your continued training and hope you get that Mooney one day. 

I flew into Camarillo just a couple weeks ago for fun to get some night flying in.

Not necessarily true,calling something art does not allow you to reproduce a product or image of such especially if you are making multiple copies which is equivalent to publishing. Not using the Mooney name or logo is helpful but the distinction of the image (accuracy) a case can be made for copyright violation. using an out of production model is smart because most companies will not likely care. Try making at shirt with anything Harly Davidson on it with out purchase of the rights and you will be in court.  It really comes down to how aggressively they want to protect their product image making sure they are being properly represented and not so much about money.

[DaV8or]

Aren't those images from the POH?
