Yves Posted March 20, 2021 Report Posted March 20, 2021 I am looking for a new home for my Mooney M22. Aircraft based in Australia but fitted with necessary fuel line to add ferry tank. Excellent condition. Always been hangared. 150 hr since complete overhaul of the TIO 541 A1A engine. 1600 hr TT. Two Nav/Comm. King 525a system with HSI and slaved compass. JPI EDM 900 engine monitoring system installed as primary. Garmin 330 GTX ES transponder. Please contact me if interested. 12 Quote
Mcstealth Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 Do you have a picture showing the fifth seat and how the passenger door opens? Quote
Yves Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Posted March 22, 2021 Hello, I do not have a photo of the fifth seat but is a small seat more for a children than an adult. I most of the time keep it removed to store luggages. Please find a photo with the passenger door open. It opens by folding it up. 5 Quote
carusoam Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 One of the coolest Mooneys ever built! -a- 5 Quote
Bolter Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 It is great that to see that you have kept this piece of history airworthy, and I hope it continues with the next owner. Quote
MooneyMitch Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 Wow!! That’s a work of art! I love the story told of Ralph Harmon ( creator of the M22) exclamating he should have designed the fuselage more rounded, as he witnessed multiple rivets pop out during the first pressurization test. Subsequently, more bulkheads were added in order to prevent less fuselage expansion when pressurized. You’ve got such a beautiful unique aircraft ! Quote
MooneyMitch Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 One more little tidbit of M22 information........ during our visit of the factory test cell, there was a left over Mustang wing stored there. As we studied the wing assembly with landing gear, the late Mike Miles informed us that at one point, Mooney engineers seriously considered incorporating the M22 gear into the M20’s....... the rest is history. 1 Quote

mike_elliott Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 Man, I wish you would have bought this to the AMPA meeting in Bathurst in 2018! I would have loved to have clocked an hr or so in her! Quote
MooneyMitch Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 Another bit of Ralph Harmon information on the M22....................regarding cabin pressurization, Ralph learned that it's not easy to seal square corners [the door specifically] as opposed to sealing rounded corners. Quote
DXB Posted March 31, 2021 Report Posted March 31, 2021 Wow someone here please buy this incredibly cool and unique Mooney and fly it back across the Bering Strait to the US so we can all stare at it in awe. 4 Quote

Will.iam Posted April 3, 2021 Report Posted April 3, 2021 Na the lottery covered the whole price and he doesn’t have a mortgage on the plane he can run without hull insurance. 1 Quote
Django Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 Hello i tried to send you a mail to tell you my interest I am in Europe. I flew2 times a M22. It is magic. I own and fly 2 Pitts which are also piece of history. The M22 has been one of my top 3 planes to own and fly after the pitts (sorry) As you know to bring her back to Europe will be an expensive job (ferry, avionics upgrade and EASA cert) but I promesse i will take care of her like I do with my Pitts the last 10 + years I am a serious buyer. What is your price ? 2 Quote
Mcstealth Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 @Yves Hey sir. @Django is knocking. Quote
Yves Posted April 21, 2021 Author Report Posted April 21, 2021 Hello Django, thank you for your interest in the Mooney M22. I have sent you a message on your account. 3 Quote
NickJ Posted April 30, 2021 Report Posted April 30, 2021 Transport will be expensive. Please advise asking price. Thank you! Quote

Yves Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Posted August 10, 2021 I will let you know..... so far a lot of interest but no commitment or at very low price. I am looking at flying the M22 to New Zealand where I will residing for the next couple of years.... I am happy to consider serious offer but it needs to be sensible and fair for the condition of the aircraft and the money I spent to keep it as it is. 2 Quote
carusoam Posted August 10, 2021 Report Posted August 10, 2021 We have a couple of New Zealand MSers… that have been discussing buying Mooneys… -a- Quote
