Finally got to fly my new to me M20F solo!

[gwav8or]

Hey all!  This last weekend, I brought my '67 F to her new home.  We closed the deal on Aug 20.  I flew about 9 hours on two weekends, took two weeks off due to previously scheduled events.  Flew 3 more on Saturday and flew solo on Sunday.  Feels great!  It took 12+ hours to finally feel comfortable with landings.  But the more I fly this wonderful machine, the more I like it!

Awesome picture!  I’m sure you’ll enjoy the F, I have had mine for 8 years and she’s been great!  Been from Florida to Washington state and has hauled my wife and kids on many great adventures.  I hope you’re as lucky!

welcome,

Many people have removed them. My C still has the brackets, just nothing in between.

Yeah, there are rumors around here that you’ll pick up 2-3 knots in weight savings alone.
