GaryP1007 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone know of a flight school or other that will has a Mooney as part of its fleet? Eastern US is preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker_Woodruff Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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.

Hank Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryP1007 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapientia Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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.

Z W Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pleisse Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBill Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 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.
