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!

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!

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?
