cferr59 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 I picked up my 1965 Mooney M20C today from Morganton, NC. It was at AGL for a prebuy and then they completed the annual. I flew to Charlotte yesterday on the 6am flight from Philly and then took an Uber to Morganton. Lynn met me at the airport and jacked up the plane so I could practice with the J-Bar. Then, I flew with a local instructor and completed airwork. This morning, we did a bunch of landings, a few go arounds, and engine outs. It was relatively cool and the plane was pretty consistently in the air at the 1000 foot marker. I flew back to KPNE without issue. Kept my speed on point for landing and had no problems making the first turn off. Planning on working with a safety pilot and some instruction before I would take it IFR. But, it was a long but fun weekend and I'm happy to have it home. Definitely recommend AGL for a prebuy as well 13 1 Quote

RogueOne Posted November 11, 2019 Report Posted November 11, 2019 Chris! Fantastic! Glad first flight as PIC went well. That is a serious improvement over my old E for panel. Glad you found an IFR equipped Mooney to make your own. Enjoy! Quote
Bob E Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Very nice IFR bird - good combination of instrumentation, well-laid-out. (I assume the G5 is tied into the 430W.) May you enjoy many years of safe flying! Quote
MooneyMitch Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Congratulations! Terrific airplane you’ve got !! How exciting....... hope can sleep at night 1 Quote
Yetti Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 It's kind of fun to see them looking fast on the ground. Even more fun to go Mooney Zoom Quote
BigD Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Good looking bird! I have 5553Q, probably a cousin! My panel is not even half as nice as yours! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Captnmack Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 I’ve seen this plane before. The paint Scheme looks Familiar... 2 Quote
steingar Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Congrats. Nice panel, very shiny. The M20C is the biggest bang for your buck in GA. Enjoy. Quote

Lukon Posted November 21, 2019 Report Posted November 21, 2019 Congratulations! I got my 1965 M20C last year. They are wonderful airplanes. I think your panel cost more than my airplane. 1 Quote
