Mooney Rentals?

[GaryP1007]

Anyone know of a flight school or other that will has a Mooney as part of its fleet?  Eastern US is preferred.

Don't tell me someone's telling you to go get 10-25 hours of Retract/make model time so you can get insured.

They're lying.

for the 3-5K it costs to rent the Mooney to get your insurance, you can buy two years worth of policies as a 100 hour PPL with no instrument rating or retract time.

Sure, he's insurable, but a Complex Endorsement and some time will make the insurance cheaper. Mine with neither was horrible the first year . . . but that was before Mooneyspace existed [2007].

No, no, no.....I have complex time.....I have no Mooney time.  I wanted to rent to get a feel for the plane.  Sorry for the confusion.

Not sure they still have a C. Worth a call.

I will be in the same boat in a few months as I will be considering a Mooney purchase but want to get a feel for one before I make the decision.  There is a place out in Las Vegas that rents a Mooney Rocket.  When the time comes I may go out there to fly it since a Rocket is my first choice.

LZU just outside of Atlanta rents a 201

No one on the field with a Mooney that you can split expenses with on their next joy ride?

Florida Flight Training Center at Venice, Florida (KVNC) has a C model available for rent.  Last I checked it was somewhere around $150/hour wet.  Manual gear and flaps, for the full experience.

Freeway Airport (Maryland-inside the DC ADIZ) usually has an F or a 201 on leaseback.  They are also a  MSC. You would probably only need a short check out. I don't know what the hourly is. Call and ask for Stan... he'll know immediately.

I loooked for the same reason prior to my purchase.  Then a local 20C owner took me up, and the mechanic let me sit in an 20F he had in for annual.

I was sold.  Bought my 20E and that was 30 hrs ago.
