Bug Smasher Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Looks like a great airplane, well done! Just curious, what did you end up doing with the red, super low time M20J you recently resurrected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just one wuestion: WTF is a "211 Special Edition"??? Apparently it's an F of some sort . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just one wuestion: WTF is a "211 Special Edition"??? Apparently it's an F of some sort . . . That is marketing schtick from Mod Works or Mod Squad after installing the speed mods. Similarly, they called an upgraded 231 a 262 after retrofitting the 252 firewall-forward kit.

Hank Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks, I'd heard of the Trophy 262 before, but not the 211 . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this Flying Mag article, the G and F were the 212 model, the C&E were the 211. https://books.google.com/books?id=eK-0kCuwKz8C&pg=PA90&lpg=PA90&dq=modworks+Mooney+211&source=bl&ots=lgBgBTIRrD&sig=fLjWwoCygPn2nkc0e-s1VJIi9o4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwin4LnMs_bYAhXPmOAKHUBGCOAQ6AEILTAB#v=onepage&q=modworks Mooney 211&f=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcb Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 So Mod Works eventually became MooneyMart. But, is MooneyMart now gone? Their website seems to be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

201er Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 201 style rounded windows Fake! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Painting on the rounded window look is an easy way to make an older plane look "modern" from across the ramp. I just really don't like the inside look of the painted windows, it's rather cheesy . . . . But not in a good way like pizza . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNameIsNobody Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Beautiful. The paint and interior are in crazy good condition. Reeks of “hanger princess”. How about a pic of the rear seat set-up? Not a fan of the machine-gun throttle quadrant, but other than that love it. “Great find”. What did you pay for this cream-puff? Glad the buzz saw is in its holster. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Fox Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm told the Aerostar yokes , are the same type of mounts , as the J with the hole going Horizontally , Am I wrong ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the original 75 yokes (I used to call them the Mongo yokes) are the same as the Aerostar. I doubt it looking at the 602 and 700 series on controller.com.

Alan Fox Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 No , The 70s Mooney co was owned by a company called Aerostar....not sure if it was the same as the Ted Smith / Piper type... But they had the weird yokes that are in my F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 ^^^. Look at marauder's picture gallery for his old style yokes... They were not very snazzy... certainly not as cool as the throttle with integrated machine gun control... Go see a Man named Hector... he has a leather shop that can cover those things... be prepared it might take a whole Hyde to wrap around those things... And another not so helpful recommendation... a good used G530 would look nice in that panel... got one on the shelf for the new girl in the hangar?
