Deluxe_208 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 Hey all, Ready to pull the trigger on an aircraft here in the next couple months. Looking for something I can use for instrument and beyond. Constantly screening through posts on here, Controller, TAP; also have my name in with Jimmy down at GMax. Mission: instrument trainer (IFR rated GPS), long/short XC trips with mainly myself but could see 1-2 passengers + slight baggage (golf clubs/ski gear/etc). Wants (in order): solid IFR platform (don't need glass, but would appreciate), AP, manual flaps/gear, engine monitor, low-mid hours on engine, reasonable total time. Budget: 60-80k I came across this post, looked reasonable: https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=MOONEY&model=M20C&listing_id=2398487&s-type=aircraft . Anyone have any other contacts that I may need to call? Let me know! Cheers -t Quote
ArtVandelay Posted October 6, 2021 Report Posted October 6, 2021 The glass is probably wishful thinking but I think you’ll find what you’re looking for, just have to be ready when the right plane becomes available. I would skip the K mentioned above, you don’t need turbo or the hassle of repairing a plane far away from home. 1 Quote

Can I interest you in an Acclaim? Seeing if @Alan Fox has any aircraft inventory…. Sometimes Alan has a few machines for sale… Best regards, -a- Quote

Needs paint. They're out there! Edited November 3, 2021 by chriscalandro Quote
