FlyingBiker Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello everyone, I recently found and joined this group. I am a CFII and MEI. I have no Mooney time, but am looking to change that shortly. I am working with a student of mine who is looking to own his first plane. I think we have settled on an M20E near Milwaukee. Does anyone in the group happen to know a mechanic in the area who could do a pre buy for us? The broker we are speaking with is part of a company that does almost everything (flight training, FBO work, maintenance, sales, etc.). Ideally, I would like someone who is not associated with them so they have no skin in the game and will hopefully provide a more objective inspection. Thanks in advance and I look forward to meeting some people here in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Welcome aboard Biker. While we wait for an MSer in that area... You may want to search the Mooney.com site... they list all of their Mooney Service Centers by state... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingDude Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Contact Sean Crooks. Based in SE Michigan, but he travels. Milwaukee is not far from here. sean crooks <labradorfarms@gmail.com> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I know one in Minneapolis but that's a good distance away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlunseth Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Try Eric Rudningen at Oasis Aero in Willmar, MN. Yes, they are a distance from you, but Eric travels constantly. I just spoke to him last week and he had spent most of the week in the air, covering most of the country. He is a very good commercial pilot as well as an A&P. http://oasisaero.com/ The phone number on the website is his cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Try Gene at Northwest Flyers 06C Schaumburg IL a quick 25-30 minute flight for you. Once a certified Mooney center, still does a ton of mooneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yooper Rocketman Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Kubick Aviation in Iron Mountain (KIMT) has been doing a lot of Mooney’s. They have several regular Mooney clients they take care of (one was an employee of the FAA too). Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
