Mooney - log cabin hybrid (not airworthy)

[DXB]

Um...photos of this "unique" display appeared on the Mooney FB page

What the heck?!

Wow! No engine but still has a drip pad . . .

The tail outside looks neat (but different), but I don't understand having the rest of the plane inside . . . . .

2016 reported sold to someone in Crystal Minnesota.

Those things just don't go together.  I don't get it.

If you sit in the plane you can pretend fly into a pole.

For those who like the smell of old airplane enough to want to sleep with it??

[orionflt]

that's for those cold winter days/nights where you want to fly, but do not want to leave the house.

Guess if he gets tired of the lack of floor space he can part it out next to the warm fireplace and insert a log patch.

One word.  Photoshop.

This has great simulator potential.

Since Al is one of the more thermally-conductive materials around, that will efficiently suck heat out of the cabin and radiate it back into the outdoors via the tail feathers.

Doesn't look like it goes through the wall. You can see where the fuse was scalloped to match the logs on the outside and screwed into them.

Well, that's disappointing.  ;)

To each his own, but I am not amused to see a vintage Mooney defiled in this manner. A Cirrus version might be more amusing.  Maybe attach the chute to the roof of the cabin?

At least the logs are complete.

Agree with it not going through the wall ( tail support ). Unless it's one of those rare aircraft carrier Mooneys.

I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt. I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as what we've witnessed here!

I see what might be a good voltage regulator.

I hope that this plane was already severely corrosion damaged, and could not have economically been made airworthy before it was sliced and diced.  Even if it was un-airworthy, there are probably a number of usable parts that could have been harvested.  What a waste!

Not sure I would have told that...lol

Not sure if they screwed up a Log Cabin or the Mooney...going to say both

Small world. The gentleman that apparently sold this airplane in 2006, owns my old 64E N6907U http://www.airport-data.com/photographers/n1282x:1459

My old E is basically a  chandelier and this one seems to be some sort of coffee table or something.

I sense a decorating trend...

The  two photos of the tail don't match.  Amateur photoshop at its finest.  And who ever put the tail number in small letters on the empennage?  Isn't even a decent deep fake.

I don’t see it- what doesn’t match in the tail?
