Since the book isn't available anywhere for sale and no one would be selling the pdf I wouldn't see any problem. If we share parts and maintenance manuals I can't see why this can't be shared. 

Coy would be honored to just see the interest in this post. He loved writing and having his name and picture attached to his stories. After all, there wasn't a modified Mooney until Coy modified the first one. I was there the day Coys new wife flew into Sun N Fun. I have some secret photos of them getting close and some definite secret information about the fly over during Sun N Fun that sealed the deal between them! All fun aside, I was hired by Coy about six months after Mod Works Inc. was started. I was part of the team that helped with design and ideas in the field, which lead to more FAA field approvals and STC's getting assigned. It's what Mod Works was all about. Coy had already held the world record speed in the Mooney and we just kept getting better and better. We broke our own records two more times. It was in the 90's when things just started falling apart with so much going on in the Mooney industry, Coy splitting up with Tim Coons, Kevin Surrel going off in his own direction, Bob in Venice trying to steal the STC's and started the "rocket" which I had come up with way before he did, but nobody was listening, I started my own business in another field, etc... Coy started Mooney Mart and things were off to a rough start. I helped him at the time because he was being black balled making it hard for him to get parts for his Mods. I have many top secrets about that period of time as well but they would also implicate me as well, except for the 7 year statue that would protect me!  

I would love to have a copy of this. I have saved some of my old photos from back in the day. I will try to post some on here.

RIP Coy! You left your mark in this lifetime on many of us!
