canamex Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 Two incredible years of flying later with trips across the continent half a dozen times and one epic over-water journey to the Caribbean from Mexico, it's time to sell my Mooney and focus on some other things for a bit. Wanting her to go to a good home so posting here. TT: 4381, SMOH: 1519, STOH: ~300 Other highlights within the last three years include: new starter new vacuum pump new tach install of factory certified Garmin SL30 & GI106A ADSB OUT via GTX335 XPNDR Top overhaul gaskets and seals at 1218 SMOH hrs All chrome cylinders, #1 & #3 at SMOH 936, then #2 & #4 at SMOH 1359 remote mount oil filter (Airwolf) new engine mounts new crankshaft seal fuel tank re-seal new oil hoses shoulder belts The aircraft burns about a quart every 5-6 hours is consistent at 9GPH cruising at 8500 and was an incredibly economic time builder for me in which I got to fly into every type of airspace except A and learn a lot about airplane ownership. Some pictures below. All logs have been digitized and are available to interested parties. It's listed now at Barnstormers for $87.5k and please PM with questions. Right now the plane is located in Victoria Canada and the plan is to fly to South Texas in a couple of weeks and can meet along the way. Thanks! Quote
kortopates Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 You were based in Mexico the whole time correct. Oaxaca as i recall. Remember you from Baja Bush too. Why get out after only two years- if you don’t mind sharing. Awfully short time. Anyway sorry to see you go!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
canamex Posted August 14, 2023 Author Report Posted August 14, 2023 That's right Paul, I was based in Mexico City. Love my Mooney but most of my flying is very long distances and I'd like something ideally FIKI capable and with more of a hard IFR panel. I got by with this one hand-flying IMC for up to an hour at a time but it gets fatiguing. On another note, would you remind me how I can update my map to show where I've flown? Quote
Shadrach Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 Cool early F. I always wondered if the 66 models had the twist wing. Now I know that indeed they did. 1 Quote
