I’ve owned the aircraft since July 2008 and have put about 450 hours on her.  I attained my IFR in this plane (great stable platform) and have flown N9567M coast to coast – in the last 12 months just over 200 hours alone.  It’s a great plane, I’m just looking for something faster at this point.  I get an honest 148 knots in still air and with the ram air open, it increases by up to four or five knots (I don’t open the ram air unless it’s clear air and I’m at altitude).

 

The aircraft suffered a gear up prior to ownership, hence the new three blade prop.  It has flown 540 hours since repair and flies straight and true.  A few panels were replaced at that time as well as the right aileron.  I can send you pictures, as these surfaces were repained the base color of the aircraft but not the matching fading yellow - I think the prvious owner was going to paint the entire plane but decided to sell in the end instead. 

 

I will shortly be listing it on controller.com, but before I do so, I figured I would see if anyone here at Mooney Space would like to help find N9567M a new home. 

 

Asking $59,000

 

Feel free to send me a PM, email me at seth.meyers@gmail.com, or call me at my office, (301) 468-0100.

 

Once I take delivery of the new plane, I'll post infomation and pics.  It would be great if I can move my current plane quickly, and I am willing to make that happen for reasonable offers.

 

Take care,

Deposit recievd, deal pending. 

I admit, it is very bittersweet.  Not one of the two happiest days of a plane owner's life.  It's very exciting, and I'm happy a deal occured quickly with a friend of mine who I know will take care of the aircraft.  However, I'm very much attached to my first airplane.  It's kind of the same way about selling your first car as well.

The deal will very much assist with paying for the new aircraft, though this transaction will happen after the new purchase, so yes, I'll have a fleet for about two weeks.  Those will be some fun pictures.

Congrats on a quick (pending) sale.

And as one who knows the bird you have coming next...CONGRATS!

Sold - It was a great final cross country flight down to Florida on Sunday.  Jim (the new owner) has a good airframe and a smooth running engine - he'll enjoy 67M.  It was hard helping him close the hanger door after a series of familiarization flights. 

I flew back from Tampa yesterday on Southwest - we landed at Baltimore at about 9:12 PM, and sat waiting for a gate to open . . . until 9:45.  It may have been a faster trip than my Mooney, but that extra half hour just sitting there made me laugh.  What can you do.

I'll post more about the new to me Missile once I get it to Maryland.
