I'm new to this site so it might take me a while to get used to it. I joined so I could put my Mooney up for sale.

This Mooney had a gear up landing a year ago. I purchased it in March from insurance salvage. Replaced 4 belly skins and front gear doors and replaced the prop with 192 hr prop. I,v put 60 to 70 hrs on since then.

My mechanic speaks highly of this airplane. If you want to speak with my mechanic about it call Travis Pritchett (573 578 5188)

Very nice leather seats. Carpet is nice except for an old fuel stain under the back seat. Paint shines really well and looks good except for a few runs. Some chips in the front of the cowling. Really a nice clean and solid airplane.

Why are you selling it if it's such a great plane?

[gregwatts]

This is a 1970 M20F. The 71 F model was actually called an Aerostar 220 and had a couple mods to the tail. I owned one.

I believe the serial numbers from that era of Mooney consisted of the first two digits being the year, followed by the production sequence number, so this would have been the 69th plane made in 1970. Was the engine IRANed following the gear up?

[millerrich21]

My mistake. It is a 1970. I checked on the airworthiness certificate. It was issued in 1970.

My local mechanic did the prop strike inspection. And yeah we did the cheap inspection. We dialed the crank, sent the gears off for die glow inspection and replaced the tab and the bolt. 2 to 3 inches of each prop blade was curled inward. I talked to quit a few different mechanics and they all believed this engine wasnt hurt.

I bought this plane to fly for a year or so with the intention to sell it. Im in partnership with my brother on this plane. If I cant sell it I'll have to buy my brothers share and try to swing it. But I'm really not in a financal position to do that.

The prop strike inspection is not the "Cheap" one , It is what Lycoming requires for an inspection, It is adequate , and correct....

Thank you. I apreciate your comments. I was told that almost all insurance copmanies will cover this type of prop strike inspection.

However there are those who almost make you feel like a criminal if you dont tear the engine completly down and basically overhaul the engine after a prop strike. Even after a (quote) light prop strike.
