He moved. He is down near Wallups Flight Facility now.

lol, I know where my uncle lives - I @'d him because he still gets up to PA regularly and still knows a lot of folks up there, so he can probably recommend a Mooney mechanic.

Small world. Did I meet you at one of his fly ins? I thought you @‘d him because you thought he was still turning wrenches in PA. Is Alan Wolk still working on planes? He was doing annuals on Merrit’s Mooney.

I called Henry Weber Aircraft a MSC in PA, but they are 5 weeks out.

I think you’ll find most shops are booked out weeks in our area. Are you looking for someone to do an annual or just something needs to be repaired?

I’ve let the shop on my field do the last two annuals (N57). They have done a decent job. Since I’ve owned the plane 31 years, I know the plane better than any mechanic and bring my squawk to them.

I need a prebuy.

I need a prebuy.

If you don’t know the Mooney well, I’d take it Air Mods over in Jersey or the MSC in Maryland (can’t remember the name).

If the plane is local, PM me. I probably know the owner or the plane.

I'll second Air Mods they're in NJ at the Trenton-Robinsville Airport (N87). 

Give Dave Mathiesen a call 609-259-2400    https://www.airmodsflightcenter.com/

What airport is the plane you're looking at located?

 

[carusoam]

anyone know how big PA is?

I heard it might be pretty large, even in Mooney miles…

Pitt is kinda far from Penn…

 

What model Mooney are you looking to get PPI’d?

See if @Alan Fox has any input to offer…

Alan knows the older Mooneys down to the molecular, or at least saw dust/machine chip level…

He is located at the East end of PA…

Go Mooney!

Best regards,

+1 on Air Mods.  The MSC in Maryland is Freeway (W00).  Both shops are good.

If going to MD…

Find RPM… Byron knows aviation… from top to bottom…

Thanks all, yes have talked to RPM. Will get with Air Mod as well. Will also need to possibly get it ferried.

Where is the plane currently located?

And again...  Where is the plane?

I'm heading over to ABE probably on Wednesday.  So if that's anywhere close to where the plane is I could easily pick up Dave (Air Mods) on my way and drop him off.  Don't know how long it takes for a pre-buy, but at least he could do a once over and talk to you about what your goal was.  Then he could figure out a plan with you.

Sorry, carusoam, just noticed my blunder and your jab. PA is big. Should have said Reading area.
