Hello, new here.

[driller]

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.

Welcome aboard Curt!  

[driller]

97 M20K.  I'm a former 231 owner.  It was by far my favorite.

[M20Kid]

Welcome, Curt!  I have been and airplane owner for many years but I'm new to Mooney.  I recently picked up a 231 and I've gotten some great advice and information here.  I hope you enjoy your new airplane and the Mooney community you find here!

[Oscar Avalle]

Curt, welcome on board. You will find an enormous amount of information and advice. Congrats to your Mooney.

Welcome back to the fold Curt!  Hope that your pre-buy goes well and you are zipping around Indiana very soon! 

[chadsuv]

Welcome Curt. I notice you are from Greenwood, IN. I have a '63 C Model based at Greenwood KHFY. I hope your prebuy goes well.

[driller]

Well, it took a little time, but she's all mine now.

Looks great.  You will have to hook up with some of the Mooney Ambassadors from Indiana.  There is an event coming up:  August 31-Sept 2nd. The 122nd Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base
3005 W Ferguson Rd. Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Ambassadors were specifically invited after the successful Indy Airshow.  There should be five spots for display aircraft.  Event website: http://www.fwairshow.com/  Point Person: Jim Elswick

Very nice plane, and a great way to saddle up again!

We have both true Encore's and 231/252 Encore conversions around here.

That's a real looker Curt.  Congratulations!!  Have fun and be safe.

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.

[Mcstealth]

Goodness! I think you need to do something about that number.

Congrats on a fine aircraft!!

Welcome and happy flying Curt!  Also, I sent you a PM regarding your 430W to GTN750 upgrade.

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.
