Mooneyspace is a great resource for Mooney owners, but I did a forum search on the M-18 Mooneymite and did not come up with much.


The M-18 is "THE REAL MOONEY", the M-20 series is just a bunch of wann-be spam cans..........okay, I'm just throwing that out there for flame bait.  I love my C.


However, I'm interested to know how many present, or former Mite flyers there are reading this board.


 


Anybody?


 


I once owned N70DV and I noticed it up for sale again on WWW.MOONEYMITE.COM.  It was probably the most fun airplane I've ever owned.  125 mph on 4 gph.  Talk about efficiency.  It's "THE REAL MOONEY"!

Neat!


Al Mooney had a hand in many designs which didn't actually bear his name.  If you look at the Culver Cadet, it's vintage Al Mooney sans up-right stabilizer.


His wooden wings are a marvel to look at....


Al Mooney's son lives in Atlanta.  I've spoken to him; he's a real gentleman....I suspect his dad was too.
