Pinecone Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 How many M20As are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be many. $40,000 for a "new" engine $30,000 for some semblance of modern avionics? Tank reseal I'm sure. Labor dollars not included. An A/P project of love....

Echo Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 I made a joke about NEVER buying a wood wing Mooney and -a- said there are a bunch on Mooneyspace (paraphrasing). Which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 A hangar neighbor has an M20A that's in excellent shape. It's a quirky little airplane, though. He's flown it all over the country. There's a dash model (aka M20) parked outside at our airport that is a derelict. It appears to have been in the middle of somebody's restoration and then got pushed outside quite a few years ago. The wing has steadily deteriorated and now has some gaps and holes in the surface from weathering. Won't be long and it'll be trash if it isn't already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do try to avoid maligning another Mooney pilot’s airplane, and I think that is the point that Anthony was trying to make. I was teasing then and was teasing now. Sorry for confusion there. A wood tail? Not ever, but the Mooney wood wing is a thing of beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 When I was in the maintenance hanger in Racine they had an unskinned wing hanging on the wall. Stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooden tails should have all been replaced with metal tails by AD sometime during the early 60s. I've only seen photos, but the wooden wings are truly things of beauty! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
