bradp Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 I’ve liked watching these videos about a CJ and a Cessna 310 - looks like they are going to have 2 or 3 videos on Mooney ownership. Cool. 1

It came up on my feed earlier today. It was a good description of owning a Mooney. Let’s not give Mike to hard of a time for not having the pointy end polished.....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jaylw314 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 I'm kind of annoyed that they focused much of the walkaround and tour on the aftermarket avionics and instruments. I'd wager the vast majority of M20J's out there do not have an all-glass cockpit or Aspens installed, so somebody interested in buying an M20J really doesn't get a representative look at what they'd be getting into. Of course, I suppose that makes sense if the video makers are in the business of moving premium aircraft rather than average aircraft.
MBDiagMan Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 I am anxious to see the YouTube’s on the C’s. 1
MIm20c Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 What a well balanced video! Not sure if Mike is on MS but if so great job. Only thing I would change is adding on an in flight portion to the video that pulls it all together.
bradp Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Posted March 21, 2018 But I keep on stating on that dirty spinner on the beautify painted J. They did say that they were going to do a C/D to get a different perspective...
Rumblestrip Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 They have their podcast up where they talked with a C driver, it was pretty good as well. https://youtu.be/XD_Z0icgzBo?t=18m9s
flyboy0681 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 $3,000 to 5,000 for an annual without any gotchas? Mine is inspected by Phil Jimenez, who is located about 60 miles from where this guy is based, and our typical annual is $1,300.

Mine is inspected by Phil Jimenez, who is located about 60 miles from where this guy is based, and our typical annual is $1,300. It’s still a fairly new to him, add LEDS, landing donut, or thicker glass...is enough to get to $3000+, he mentioned all the above, I’m betting he includes these type of maintenance issues in the annual costs. I assume many owners delay maintenance fixes until plane is in annual which can drive up annual costs.

It’s probably best to conceptualize for this type of video/target audience as 1) inspection 2) airworthiness issues 3) discretionary maintenance 4) upgrades.
82Mike Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 Yes I am on MS and have been for awhile The annual costs i “guessed” did include the fact that i have redone just about everything on the Plane. They are working on a video of a more “average” Mooney also. The intent was to show what you could do. Anyways, I enjoyed the process and it has been fun with 133DB. The spinner is clean by the way now lol 3 1
