The M20J is a true 160 kts aircraft

[Magnum]

Just downloaded some pics of my last flight and have the proof: The M20J makes 160kts TAS at 65% HP. The engine was leaned to 25dF ROP, approx. 2600 gross weight. Mooneys are great!

FF was at 10 gal/hr, so that's 16 NMPG. Yesterday I drove 550 NM with my BMW 330d and got 20,4 NMPG, but only had a average of 81 NM/hr. So that's going twice as fast and only using 27% more fuel :-)

 

PS: It is always fun to calculate stupid things while sitting on the ground...

Very nice indeed. Although I am also impressed by your average speed on the Autobahn
