Yes it was converted to a Rocket. The TSIO520NB is the same engine Cessna uses in the 340. Lots of power, lots of fuel, lots of performance. Trade my J towards another in a minute. I miss that Rocket.


You are correct they no longer do the Mooney Rocket or Missile conversions. All they do now are Turbo prop conversions. With a per unit price 10 times higher to convert a Malibu to a Jet-Prop they dropped the lower profit Mooneys. Company appears to be quite stable. Support from Rocket is better than support from Mooney.
