N78928 | 1962 Mooney M20C MK21 *FOR SALE* | $55,000.00

[ThatPilotKid]

Leading Edge Aero, LLC is proud to present this 1962 Mooney M20C to the used aircraft market. No expense has been spared in the effort to maintain the solid mechanical performance of this airframe. The low-time engine runs exceptionally smooth, and firewall-forward hoses were replaced at its March 2024 annual inspection. The logbooks are all continuous from the factory test flight. The interior is dated, but in very good condition considering its age. The paint is in good condition, it has lost some of its gloss since its paint job in 1975, but there are very limited cracks and chips. The panel is all steam, with a Terra NAV/COMM system. This airplane is the perfect platform for a VFR flyer wanting to upgrade to a fast, fuel efficient, cross-country machine. The times will change as the aircraft flies regularly. Contact Jack Gavin at Jack@LeadingEdgeAero.cloud or (989) 948-2046 for more information. Asking price is firm, $55,000.00.

"hangar-rash" on the trailing edge of the RH flap, the damage has been deemed negligible.

N78928 posted is my plane and I asked Jack to list it for me and handle taking calls and selling it. He is very knowledgeable about the plane and better at fielding questions that I am.

I bought the plane a couple years ago to get back into flying. I had owned a B35 in the past, but this plane got back into flying and I learned to really like the mooneys and mooneyspace. The plane was good for me and I flew it VFR regularly.

I considered redoing the panel on the plane but honestly it was over my head deciding, logistically and time having it done.  
 

The reason I am selling is:  I bought an F model from Jimmie at GMax early August with an upgraded panel, Garmin auto pilot, avidyne IFD 540, primary engine monitor, dual G5, etc., all done of course for a lot more money, because I wanted to progress in my flying and do longer missions. 
 

The history of the C model N78928 made me feel comfortable when I bought it and it has low engine time.   It was owned by an AP in north Texas near Oklahoma for 46 yrs who babied it and did a lot of speed mods.  
 

when I got it, I had done whatever to make it solid and things including firewall forward hoses , adsb tailbeacon, starter, battery tires and tubes ect 

the plane continues to fly regularly.  
 

Jack is super knowledgeable in general and about the plane and best to answer technical questions.
