KiloAlphaIndigo Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi, my name is Kai, i am a new pilot, just licensed on January 16th and have been looking at different planes to buy and I test flew a piper arrow 2 and it was not my favorite by far. I was wondering if any local Mooney pilots to the Hillsboro Portland area of Oregon (if Any) would be willing to take some time out of there day to give me a ride? Thank you!

xcrmckenna Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I have my annual planned for March 25th at Troutdale. I’ll more than likely be in the Portland area that weekend. If you haven’t gotten up before that let me know and I would be glad to give you a ride in my J. The coast is a real short flight. Pic from last years flight before the annual.

The J model is the one I'm looking at, let me know what your plans are as the 25th approaches, Id be more than happy to fly to KTTD if necessary. Thank You!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I was in Hillsboro this last weekend... but without my Mooney. I'll probably be back with the Mooney, but not until sometime in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I love fly to Seaside for a lunch and walk on the beach. Great scenery on a nice day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Morning Kai Congrats on your license. I also have my maintenance done in Troutdale, OR. If you end up purchasing a Mooney, I strongly encourage you to take it to Troutdale for a prepurchase inspection. Just remember almost everything is fixable, just buy accordingly. A Mooney is not built like a Piper and Cessna. Use to be another gentleman named Tom around the Portland area very knowledgeable with the Mooney. He was older and not sure what happened to him. If we ever cross paths I’d gladly take you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm based down in Corvallis. I'm free today and the weather's nice if you're interested in looking at an M20J. I'm available on Fridays and weekends, but next weekend looks iffy for sightseeing. PM if you haven't found anyone yet. Edit: OK, maybe the weather's not so nice up in HIO. 16 knots gusting to 24 right between the two runway directions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffb Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 How does John Day to Troutdale get you to the beach? You must be lost. I think Mooneymuscle is referring to Tom Kopcynski. He's still working. Reliant Aviation at Twin Oaks. He used to have an MSC at Albany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come Monday I flew over to the beach before we did the compression test. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother Tom, he's supposed to be putting my engine back together(well, all the parts that came off for my Overhaul/Prop Strike inspection) and I'd really like my plane back this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine shop just got done last week, short list: case and crank had to go out for build up and grind down, as appropriate, other problems found necessitating it becoming an overhaul, fuel system went out(since it's now an overhaul) and then cylinders took a long time... So, now it's in Tom's hands, again, finally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBDiagMan Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 My congratulations for entering your city and state as well as Airport designator! it is all too common for people enter their airport designator and expecting everyone to look it up if they want to know where that is. I am sure they are not intentionally being disrespectful, but it ends up that way. If I enter KOSA and don’t say where that is located, almost no one will know without looking it up. I won’t treat others like that. Great job! Great job on your new PPL too! I hope you end up in the Mooney world with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
