I'll always share my experience, no matter how embarrasing.  I can't learn from my mistakes if I don't get opinions on my actions!

Congrats Heynes!  I also own a 1968 C.  It is my second C and my 3rd Mooney, the first one was a 1977 201 in partnership about 25 years ago.   I fly often to Norfolk to visit my daughter and grand children and have all my radio work done at Bay Avionics at KPVG very near you.  Ask for Jim, tell him Jose sent you, very knowledgeable and fair prices.  You also are also near some of the cheapest avgas in Va if not in the whole country, $4.99 at Suffolk, I was there last week.  

BTW, despite my many hundred of hours of Mooney, I almost run off of the runway on my first landing.  Unfamiliar with the quirks of this particular C and after owning a Cessna for 3 years,  I landed a bit too fast and mistakenly while trying to steer the airplane I also pushed the brakes unevenly. That mistake pointed the airplane immediately straight for the weeds.  So my technique is heels on the floor while steering the airplane, something I know from my taildragger days.

If you ever want to get together to talk C let me know, I'm based at Culpeper, just outside the Washington SFRA about an hour from your airport. I also have all the tools needed to work on the airplane, including special tools to make oil changes and change the oil filter (if you have one) without making a mess.
