ttflyer Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Hello everyone! I just purchased my first Mooney! We sold our RV-6 and were looking for a more capable traveling airplane. So far we love it! Fingers crossed for a good ownership experience! Ian 6 Quote

Just a couple weeks ago I ferried and trained up someone based there who bought a K model. So, you are not alone there! Enjoy! craig Quote
rbridges Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Congrats! You're not too far from @Hank's neck of the woods. Quote
KB4 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Welcome. I think main rule around here is “Pics or it didn’t happen,” so let’s see the 205. 3 1 Quote

Haven't seen it up close yet. Quote
201Mooniac Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Congrats, I'm sure you'll love flying your new Mooney. I hope there will be some pictures coming soon. Quote
Hank Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Welcome, @ttflyer! I'm certainly in your neighborhood, I hear radio calls from Shelby County before I reac the pattern at KALX! We'll have to meet for lunch sometime at KSCD. It's a short walk to barbecue! Quote
Brian E. Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Welcome @ttflyer to the best Mooney community. Quote

Yes, it’s kinda ratty inside, but he says he wants to get an all glass panel. I suggested he get his instrument rating first to even make use of it. Quote
RLWells Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 I am looking to buy my first plane. I've looked at Pipers a lot, but when I look at what can get me the most bang for my buck I always come back to a Mooney. I believe that I want a manual gear model. Unfortunately I just don't know what I don't know I would like some good advice from those who do know. Quote
ttflyer Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Posted February 2, 2022 Here's a picture! I think she looks really good for a 2001 paint job. 7 Quote

If you can start your own thread on MS…. You can find out a lot about your needs, wants, and could haves… It really helps if you aren’t afraid to discuss some sorta personal details… finance, mission, experience, where you want to be in the coming years… Best regards, -a- Quote

My first plane was a Mooney, a nice electric gear C that I bought five weeks after my PPL checkride. So far (14-1/2 years), it's been great! Find one in good mechanical condition, regularly flown, with as many instruments / avionics that you want already installed. Quote

Mooney guys love showing off their planes. Prob could get someone nearby to take you up. 1 Quote
Red Leader Posted February 8, 2022 Report Posted February 8, 2022 Hey Ian, this is Robert - I own the black/white/blue M20K at KEET (yes, the interior is not great but that will be redone this year). I would love to meet you. Message me so we can get together! Quote
Sixstring2k Posted February 8, 2022 Report Posted February 8, 2022 Congratulations on the new to you plane. Quote
