Marauder Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Those were my original yokes. The 74 models had a thin version and starting sometime during the 76 models, they went with the J version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Bennett Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Coy Jacobs received a fair amount of bad press and criticism over the years, but he was always honest in his dealings with me. He did the complete Trophy 261 conversion to my 231 many years ago, and it ended up a beautiful totally refurbished aircraft I owned for about 16 years. The Trophy 262 was the same conversion, with all the same mods so far as I know. I have no idea why the change from 261 to 262 occurred but it might have been a rivalry between the Mod Works (Tim Cooms) and the Mod Squad (Coy Jacobs). The conversion essentially created a 12 Volt 252. Great airplane. The other Trophy conversions were equally well done - many mods, new paint and interior, etc. Coy really knew the Mooney airframe, but some folks didn’t understand him, or perhaps misunderstood him. If you were willing to pay the price asked, the results were outstanding, at least in my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

The new owners of "Mooney Mart" came on this site and indicated they were in business and had no association with Coy. I checked a few ago and the site looked dead. Not sure what happened. Wonder if the name had anything to do with it. Quote
wcb Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 I never had any dealings with him. I found the site useful to think about some of the mods that are out there. Quote

N6758N Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 I saw it in the flesh today, it is even nicer than it looks in the pictures. Someone is going to wind up with a really nice F that will probably take down an average J any day. 1 Quote
Alan Fox Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 It flys like a dream..... Put about 10 hours on it so far... 2 Quote
wcb Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 I am still curious if you are going to put this one on the market or keep her for yourself? Quote

I think you mean to ask how quickly it will be on the market. Everything Alan has is on the market at some point. He might fly this one for awhile, but it will surely be for sale soon. Quote
