Mooney ceases manufacturing

[chriscalandro]

Just figured I’d fill in the missing link of threads saying the exact same thing bundled next to each other.

My take - this thing is getting sold - underlying value - current owners clueless - new ownership can make a good run focusing on adding load and the darn chute - I’m very confident - Ultra is 10x better than the Cirrus - so this is for the good

There is still value in the Name and assets i.e. Robotics they bought, not so much in the patents and plans now that the Chinese have them.  Someone will eventually purchase the company as soon as the price makes sense.

The value is in the type certificate  with the ability to sell lucrative OEM parts.

I know, right? Funny stuff.

It’s almost been 5 hours which means we’re about due for a new thread.

I don't think the words "closing" or "shuttered" have been used yet in a related thread title.    Could also maybe do something along the lines of, "The light of Mooney eclipsed by Cirrus clouds," or, "Mooney finally dies after a long illness," or, "Even the Chinese have given up on Mooney," or something along those lines.

every 5 hours there’s a new thread and someone already beat me to it this period.

When you think you have a scoop...

know there is somebody closer, in tight, nearer the center... to the actual story...

Best regards,
