This plane has always been hangered and meticulously maintained and flown routinely throughout the United States.  No expense has been spared in making this Rocket an incredible flying machine.  More than $65,000 in avionics upgrades alone!

Will come with fresh annual from my A&P (El Paso Tx) which could be combined with a pre-buy if elected. 

If you want to go fast, this is a great aircraft!  All out 220 kts at 24,000 or cruise at 215 kts at 24000 on 17.5 gph!  Or flying low at 10,000 cruises at 182-189 kts on <17 gph.  Fly down the localizer at 150 kts, pop the speed-brakes, slow to 130 kts, drop the gear, 110 kts add the flaps, and fly the final at 90 kts!

Included are a significant number of other elements that I will provide to the buyer. Full PDF of the Mooney Service Manual / Official Mooney 100-hour inspection list and other special documentation and maintenance related items.  Scanned logs available for pre-view. 

This last annual was a major annual that included a complete Rocket Factory overhaul on the exhaust system with OEM parts from Rocket Engineering, a complete overhaul of both mags, the most thorough annual I’ve had on the Rocket since I owned it.

Additional accessories for sale separately, with first option to anyone who buys the Mooney.

I also have a new gasoline engine powered tug (literally which has only been started to test as I have two tugs that are identical, wanted two, one for home base and one for our lake home), I’ll include my home made Mooney adapter if interested.

Possible Trade Consideration:  1^st Trade for commercial or property in an or around Granbury Tx or El Paso Tx.  Would possibly consider controlling equity in income producing properties in other locations.

I’m sorry to hear you are without a medical

 

Can you clarify the engine time? I recognize total time or tack time was the conversion to the Rocket! But what is the engine time since overhaul, overhaul date, top if it’s been done, etc.

Thanks!

I am not personally going to purchase (love my Missile) but someone showed me the add so I’m asking.

Please either post the UL or PM it to me please.  

[RocketAviator]

The records I have with me list 858.3# UL.  There was a couple minor improvements which were made that I don't have in my spreadsheet W&B, as I recall they were something like maybe 6 or 7# improvements.

A rocket could make a great ship for flying between distant restaurants...

I have sent this link to a fellow local aviator who is looking at a V-Tail Bonanza with a not so subtle hint at partnership possibilities ;)

Hello and also sorry to hear about your medical. Does your Rocket have LR fuel tanks? GAMIs?

I can confirm this 305 Rocket does have GAMI's and is one of the best LOP running 305's flying.

[RocketAviator]

Yes on GAMI, highly tuned special build by GAMI

No on long range tanks

Beautiful example of a great Rocket, whoever ends up with this will be a happy camper.
