M20K transition

[Andrewmx2955]

Hi everyone, last year I bought an M20K and started overhauling everything on it, this week it's finally done!!! Does anyone know an instructor in the LA area that I can get a high performance endorsement from and do this transition with?

One reference, I just learned about this page myself: https://themooneyflyer.com/cfi.html. Good luck.

Andrew,

On the list provided by Shawn, is An excellent CFII in that area to consider... Paul @kortopates...

Paul drives an M20K...

Is a Mooney CFII...

And really knows Turbo Engine Ops...

He also has his home drome in the San Diego area... which isn’t that far away by Mooney...

You can send a PM to Paul or invite him to contact you here...

PP thoughts only, not a CFI...

Best regards,

-a-

Thanks to Shawn for stepping up with Mooney CFI page from the MooneyFlyer!

This doesn't happen to be the red white and blue 231 Mooney at Bill's Air Center does it?

R-Banger, yeah, it is that Mooney, are you at KSMO? I've been flying it for about a week with a pretty good instructor I know, and I'm almost done with the transition, but I still plan on flying it with a couple other people to get all the different perspectives on this plane.

Yeah I am at the southeast tie-downs. I would molest your plane with my eyes each time I visited Andres and the boys. Very pretty plane sir! Always fun to meet other locals!

[Andrewmx2955]

Hahaha, thank you, it's been a fun and trying project to get it to where it is. I'm over there almost every day, definitely stop by and say hi if you see me by it, I'm looking forward to meeting other Mooney owners!
