driller Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Is this the correct place to get introduced? I've been out of the saddle for 15 years and now have a Mooney in prebuy inspection. Now that the kids are all in College, I'm looking forward to some airtime with the wife. Very nice website you have here. curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Very nice plane, and a great way to saddle up again! We have both true Encore's and 231/252 Encore conversions around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnicolette Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's a real looker Curt. Congratulations!! Have fun and be safe. B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driller Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks all. Looking forward to some fun. I'm planning on putting in a GTN 750 soon and taking out the 430W. Take a look at the picture below. During the prebuy I had to make sure the cylinders were not pitted due to the low time. The plane is also free from corrosion. Original paint and interior still look almost new. I'm having a hard time with the glitches on the site. Nothing is working in the text menu bar. Be nice if someone could address the issues.

driller Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Quote: DaV8or How about the cam? Did you pull a cylinder? Sounds like a real clean plane though and you got what many to believe to be the best of all the small engine Mooneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
