1969 MOONEY M20C •

I agree with you too, Paul. Depends on mission and budget really. If someone needs an autopilot (which is really useful for XC flying), it would be tough to work with the 65C until something like TrueTrak comes to market.

If someone is looking for a machine to build hours for their commercial checkride and maybe sell afterward, perhaps the 65C might be better for them. My advice would probably be to save up the extra $ and find an F/G model :P, but I rarely have less than 3 people in my Mooney, so short bodies rarely entered the equation for me.

All I'm saying is if I had a 30k budget, I would definitely look at that 20C before looking at a Cherokee 140 or a C150; I'm sure we're probably all in agreement there!
