Sabremech Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Since I recently acquired a 56 M20 I thought it might be worthwhile to learn from those who have one or had one in the past. Any other early M20 owners on MooneySpace? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricJ Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I don't know if it's useful info or not, but there's a derelict one parked outside on the north ramp at Deer Valley (DVT) in Phoenix. It's nearly all there. The wings are starting to decay in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you have a placard on the fuel selector you could share a picture of? Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 My aux tank is under the rear seat bench. My fuel selector is labeled right, left and rear. I'll take a picture this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I didn't realize how worn out my labels are. The original Mooney markings are all worn off. I need to replace my current labels. The position in the picture is off. Opposite is rear tank, then right and left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 Hello Kerry, Thank you very much for that. I thought as much for the positions but wasn’t absolutely sure! Thanks again, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I've had a '57 M20 for about 30 years. If I remember correctly it's S/N 1152. Flew it to OR, MN and Mexico from here in AZ. Haven't flown it much since because I unexpectedly acquired a C210. It's a fun little aircraft, I maintain friends M20 E's and K's, it's interesting to compare. Has original logs, Bill Wheat signed the test flight. You can pm me for questions. Butch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted Tuesday at 06:05 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:05 PM Hi Butch, Thanks for your reply. With your long ownership history, do you have any items or areas that I should look at in particular? Thanks again, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
