No longer a lurker

[Aerodon]

After years of following this site, adding a contribution or two, and selling bits and pieces, I am now a Mooney owner.  Hope to take delivery next week. Now let's have a competition - ask 20 indirect questions and guess what model it is.  Winner gets $200 off best advertised street price of a JPI system.

Previous listed planes, some simple, some old, I'm guessing a J-bar C model.  Is it vintage or modern?

 

[Aerodon]

By the Mooneyspace definition, modern. 

[MBDiagMan]

Long, medium or short body?

 

BTW, welcome to the forum!

[Hank]

Lycoming or Continental?

[GDGR]

Tail Number? LOL

 

[carusoam]

Is this a retirement type of forever plane?

Where the economics of efficiency are critical greatly appreciated.... 

If yes... you just bought a sweet M20E!

Don’t forget... the before and after panel pictures are going to be well received.

Congrats,

Is it known more by its model letter or marketing name?

Has to be a J given the "modern by mooneyspace" standards...congrats btw!

Turbocharged or NA?

[Yetti]

78 J Model with brown interior

Turbocharged Continental, 'forever type' plane.  Medium body I think.

That narrows it down to  K model, being "forever type" that points to the 252 or Encore, making it 252 or 252/Encore more likely if only because of the numbers. 

[orionflt]

he was looking for a 252!

[Aerodon]

no 'either or's'

[gsxrpilot]

It's a 252 Encore.

Because if it isn't today... it will be soon.

252 (M20K) and TLS (M20M) are two separate models, but since it's a 1986 it has to be an M20K 252. Is it N252FM or N252RM?
