Will I fit ok in a Mooney?

I'd go with the PVC pipe solution for reaching the valve. It's quicker and a lot easier than losing and maintaining 30 lbs...

The above post was trying to be encouraging. I trained in a Cessna 152 and flew about 100 hours total before getting an M20C.

Mooneys go fast because they are "slippery". To stop in time, it requires a small amount of speed control. Anyone can do it.

Not everyone wants to...

I like the last two lines of this post.

T,

It came from the heart.

I have truelly lost 30 pounds as well...

I am thinking how much more junk I could load in the Bravo if I lost 30 lbs

I am going to check out a Mooney Rocket and fly it tomorrow! Looking at Mooney Rocket, 252, TLS and Bravo. 

If I like it would be great since Rocket is as fast as Acclaim for lot less cash. Only downside is the Rocket sucks fuel and is not frugal on it.

The Rocket will do more with less fuel than a TLS/Bravo.  And anything a 252 can do using 1.5 gal more and a lot it can't. No one "slows down" to 252 speeds unless they need to to extend range but the option is there. After owning a Rocket it is hard to enjoy a J.

Yeah I flew the rocket today and it was awesome! But the owner does not really want to sell it and tried to get me to consider a cheaper 252 instead with newer avionics.
