TKS equipped Mooney Missile for sale!

[mwthomps2010]

1982 Mooney Missile for sale.  Rocket Engineering STC to convert a standard M20J by adding a Continental IO-550A and a 3-blade, fully feathering Hartzell Scimitar prop. VERY low engine and prop times (110 SMOH and 80 SOH)

 

TKS anti/de-ice equipped. Only de-iced Missile I've seen anywhere. IFR equipped with a Garmin GNS 430W, KFC-150 autopilot, and King KNS-80 Nav/Comm with glideslope as radio/nav #2.

 

It is tough to beat this aircraft's speed-to-cost ratio.  Rich of peak, it will cruise at 175-180 KTAS on 16-17.5 GPH. It has GAMIs, so it can cruise lean-of-peak very smoothly at 155-165 KTAS on only 10.5-11 GPH. Better gas mileage than my wife's mini-van.

 

Other equipment includes a US-8A eight-point engine analyzer, 2 x Whelen Parmetheus LED landing lights, Monroy long range fuel tanks (93 gal useable), 2013 Weep-No-More main and aux tank re-seal, Tanis plug-in engine heater and new nose-gear shock discs (4/13).Grey leather interior installed in 1994 in good condition.

 

Useful load is 1190 lbs. Even if you top it off with all 93 gallons (rarely have I had to do that), that still allows about 560 lbs full-fuel payload.  Bear in mind, 93 gallons gets you a 4-7 hour endurance depending if you decide to run it rich or lean of peak.

 

Asking $154,900. Considering that TKS is a $42,000 option installed, this aircraft is a bargain with its low engine and prop times.  I don't want to sell it, but the family is outgrowing 4 seats!

That's a lot of plane for the money. Had I not bought a 252 about 2 weeks ago I'd be interested.

Good luck with the sale.

Sounds great, I wish I hadn't just put so much into my 231 recently. It should sell pretty quickly, what are you getting?

[mwthomps2010]

No bites on the Missile yet, but I just put it up 2 days ago.  Thanks for the interest and comments. Spread the word to anyone you know might be interested.

 

Like I said in the ad, it kills me to sell it, it just might be difficult to decide which kid to leave on the ground when we go fly!

 

Thanks again!

The Missile is a great aircraft.  Not having FIKI is an issue I thought I'd be okay with, and am for the most part, but to have TKS would alleviate many concerns for slight icing here and there - to punch through a layer during the winter for instance.

 

That is a great combination - it should sell.  The Missile is a beast of a plane.

 

What are you moving up to?

On this particular '82 Missile, I'm asking $154,900, but am willing to entertain all reasonable offers.

 

To answer the upgrade question, I'm probably not getting anything bigger right away. I'm in the military and just got orders somewhere where I won't really be able to use a plane for a while, but once back, I'm looking to go to a P210, Aerostar 601P or Malibu.  Having had it now, I wouldn't go back to a non deiced aircraft and would like pressurization so I don't have to put O2 on the kiddos.

You can’t be serious. That post was nine years ago. If it’s been for sale that long and hasn’t sold - you don’t want it.

Hey I might even be interested in those . . Lol

On another note I saw an ad that Charles Lindbergh might be selling his airplane. I might have to check into that
