Why you can’t land a Mooney until it’s ready

Scalping speed!

Nah, not with a leading edge duller than an old butter knife!

I could buy you might get 5-7 kts but not 20+!
even the formation flying guide shows you will touch down 70 to 75 no flap. No way it’s going to happen at 90. 

But you can fly your Mooney onto the runway at 90 knots.

A lot of this discussion is model-specific. There's no way to hold my C onto the runway above 65 knots; I generally takeoff by 70 mph, and can hold it onto the runway to 75 mph in gusty crosswinds. (65 knots = 75 mph).

I guess I should have said If you want to consistently make  good and safe landings,  hold it off until it’s ready to land.  I didn’t mean to start a big theoretical discussion as to the maximum speed at which you could land a Mooney. I don’t think this serves an inexperienced pilot transitioning to a Mooney well. Flying it on to the runway at 90kts.?  Or even 70?  How do you think the infamous Mooney  bounces that result in so many bent props and engine teardowns start?  In my J 70 is your over the fence speed and then you try to keep it from landing until it settles on.  Our insurance would be cheaper if everyone followed my advice.

M20J, 2450 lb takeoff weight, flaps up. I held the airplane on the ground with elevators in a constant 5 deg nose up attitude (the normal resting attitude on the ground) during the takeoff roll. It lifted off without rotation at 76 KIAS.
