carusoam Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 That's one of those... go see another of the same Mooney at the local MSC. To see if they all do that...? I don't remember that one at all. See if @M20Doc can shed some light on the situation? Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eman1200 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 But if you back up and look at the plane from afar it looks pretty sweet..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 What is the situation with the owner? Lots of attention to the electronics...? Not so much with the mechanicals...? Or is it a lot of updates trying to draw your eyes away from the shortcomings...? Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman1200 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I specifically asked if there was ANY other damage history. Answer was 'No'. So, dunno what to say. He didn't bring the logs, said he would if we moved forward but I don't think we will. Overall a nice looking plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Log review comes up pretty early in the process. Since a copy can be emailed... photos and logs usually arrive before you can go see it in person. Often logs get reviewed by the owner prior to deciding on moving on to a PPI... Has this plane flown very much? PP thoughts only, not a mechanic of any sort... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to not see the logs either before inspection or at initial inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCECASPER Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 6 hours ago, eman1200 said: Very concerned about the crease that runs THROUGH this mount bolt. NOT the crease parallel to the line I've drawn, the one that goes thru top portion of the mount bolt. Thoughts? Overthinking that? On a Cessna 182 a very hard landing will put a serious dent in the firewall, but not sure if they do the same thing to the firewall on a Mooney.

gsxrpilot Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yeah, leave this one alone. There are plenty of other J's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
