Trailboss Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) MooneySpace was instrumental in the purchase of N5262F, so I’ll list it here first. It's a 1988 M20J 201. It's a great machine and very well maintained with all annuals at Don Maxwell, Dugosh, and most recently Top Gun in Stockton. The tanks are leak free, the gear pucks are in great shape and the airframe is corrosion free. 5262F has flown an average of 110+ hours per year since I purchased it in May 2016. The engine was overhauled by Mena Aircraft Engines in April 2008 and has been a solid performer in the 400 hours I've put on her since. I am still flying it regularly so the engine hours will increase slightly. Feel free to PM me or contact me through phone or email. If you search MooneySpace, you’ll find some posts from the previous owner about flying from Texas to Cancun, over the Gulf…I’ve flown in the Intermountain West with the same confidence for 4 years.

dlthig Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 That's a good looking clean panel. What is the serial number? I think the increase in GW kicked in around '89 with some odd SNs, but it's worth checking. Quote
Trailboss Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Posted December 23, 2020 Serial Number 24-1667 - What's interesting is this has some of the 205 modifications, but doesn't have the rounded window corners. Quote

I just looked it up. You are 19 from the GW increase, 1686 is where it starts. Quote
ArtVandelay Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 I just looked it up. You are 19 from the GW increase, 1686 is where it starts. If Mooney came out with a SI kit to up GW of models 1-1685 plus F models, assume $3000 for the kit, I bet there would be close to a 1000 customers...and easy 3 million of revenue. 1 Quote

Parker_Woodruff Posted December 24, 2020 Report Posted December 24, 2020 Have you decided what you're upgrading to? 1 Quote
Trailboss Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Posted December 26, 2020 @Parker_Woodruff My insurance guy has me convinced I need a Seneca...so that's been the focus for now. 1 Quote

Mooney made three different versions of the J during this era (I know they did in 1987 but I believe also in 1988). The 205 (28V, Inner Gear Doors, round windows, a few other small additions), the 201, very few made, (28V<I think>, no inner gear doors, square windows and a scaled down slightly vs. the 205) and the LM <Lean Machine> (14V, KAP-100 AP, No HSI and really bare bones on the paint and interior, along with some other downgrades to keep costs down - aimed a flight schools). The LM sold at a significant discount to the 201 and even moreso to the 205 ($30-40K- or a 25-35% discount). Based on your voltage showing on the 900 (12V), I am going to call it a LM from the factory, but it has obviously been upgraded with the KAP-150 and the no-HSI issues has been fixed with a G-5. Very clean panel and you did a very good job of upgrading it overall. 1 Quote
dlthig Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 Not surprised a bit. This was a good looking plane. Good luck with the sale. Quote
Steve2 Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 (edited) Yes it is an LM, This was my 1st aircraft, I was the 2nd owner in 2000. Bought it from KCAC at New Century. Edited November 24 by Steve2 Quote
