1997 Mooney M20M FIKI Bravo For Sale - SOLD

[PhateX1337]

It's with mixed emotions that I list my Bravo ... but I had an opportunity to upgrade that I simply couldn't pass up. I have invested in this plane over the past two years to make everything perfect and planned to keep this for many years to come. The past two annuals at Cole Aviation and Top Gun, respectively, have been open checkbook make everything perfect affairs.

I'll keep flying this in the near term, so times are subject to change. Come see it at the Santa Maria MAPA PPP program 4/5-7! I'll be flying it there. Also, for those seriously interested, I believe the W&B for the TKS was recorded incorrectly and there's actually another ~40lbs to gain if re-weighed, but I haven't gotten around to that. If interested reach out and I can explain more.

A couple pictures I've included are before some recent updates listed below (LED lights, GMA350, & USB Ports) - I'll update with a new one ASAP.

Beautiful Bravo!!

Beautiful, looks squeaky clean, the TKS birds are typically weighed with the tank full, so with the tank almost empty you can load about 60 lb more people and luggage, equipment list in POH will tell how much fluid was included in the weighing

Yep, that's exactly what happened with my bird - so you get some extra UL above what's published if your TKS tank isn't full. Or 881 lbs. with full TKS.

[daytonabch04]

Beauty!

[Fritz1]

another 30lb can be gained by taking the rear seats out, any luggage goes as far back as possible, you will never even reach the icing rear limit of the the CG specified in the TKS AFM supplement, aircraft handles and performs best with max aft CG

[Schllc]

That is one pretty bird.

Fiki, turbo, Long Body, Mooney, that looks brand new….  

I like the ice light!

Go Mooney!

 

what’s next… turbine six seater, carbon cub on floats, or a Bell Jet Ranger….?

All of those sound like fun next birds  I'm moving to the first ... turbine six seater in the form of a Jetprop.

Just remember…

Selling the Mooney doesn’t mean leaving MS…

we have a few Piper turbine owners around here still….

i am a big fan of the Rocket Engineering birds… Missile, Rocket, Screamin’ Eagle, Standing Ovation, P46T…. 
 

Transition Training will be fun!

Best regards,

I won't be leaving, don't worry! Still a Mooniac at heart ... couldn't shake the desire for efficiency, went with the Jetprop as it's probably the most economical SETP ... and fuel cost per mile is surprisingly close to Bravo in cruise...not quite equal but close  At least that's what I told my CFO...

Bump for price drop!
