jetdriven Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 You will learm more on this site than anywhere else. We have almost covered everything. Welcome to the club.
davidsguerra Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 i saw that! i emailed Daveandruth to hopefully get on the mailing list. I plan to get the monroy tanks, overlapping gear doors with brake puck reversal, gami injectors and a new panel. does anybody make a carbon fiber STC prop for the rocket?
thinwing Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 hey David...welcome to Mooney madness!!!".....kpc
co2bruce Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Welcome aboard! I beleive you have a very competent Mooney Mechanic on your field, so thats a plus. We are in South Florida but fly up to SEF for Brunch many times during the year. American Flyers is having a free seminar / lunch / get together at KPMP this Sat at noon. You may want to fly down and show her off.
John Pleisse Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 You have chosen wisely my son.. Congrats on the purchase.
Jamosu72 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 NICE! I am an aspiring Mooney owner looking to purchse this spring or summer. If you are looking for an execuse to take a trip, come on down to Page Field in Fort Myers. Love to see it. LOVE to get a ride!
David Mazer Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Welcome to the club. I have a 1986 Rocket based at KSFB. What little knowledge I have is yours for the asking.

davidsguerra Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 picked up the plane and it is in my hangar at KAVO. I almost can't believe that I own a Mooney. My daughter wants to name it "Marvin K" Mooney LOL.
rocketman Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Welcome aboard. See my PM. Very interested in sharing information since we are both brand new Mooney Rocket owners

davidsguerra Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 I got to fly her yesterday. Great Plane! very responsive. a lot better than renting a beat up smelly 172 or cherokee. cant wait to go cross country.
Seth Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Congrats on your purchase. You'll love the Mooney. Fly at right speeds around the pattern and it's easy to land - you just have to slow her down. -Seth
pmj341 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 David I'm glad you like the plane, rigging was off but after my test flight I knew you would be happy.
