I finally got a Mooney. I've wanted one for years. My 1975 M20F seems to be everything I thought it would be. I'm ready to accumulate some hours .

I've kept up with this site for a while now and expect to put some of the good information to use. As a new Mooney owner I'm sure I will have many questions for all you experienced owners.

The F is a great airplane. My husband had one for 25 years.  And welcome to the Mooney family. If you haven't joined MAPA yet, now is the time.

Congratulations on being your "F's" new owner! I know I really enjoyed the F I had! I really like the vintage look. It reminds me of what the Mooney on steroids( the M22 Mustang)looks like, but just in normal size.

....and a warm welcome to you!

 

Just be careful with the answers you receive from inexperienced owners. :ph34r:

Congrats and welcome!

Beware of Fantom's left jab. The truth can sting...

Hello to all!

 

BTR, congrats on the purchase. I own a 1970 M-20G and base it at BTR. I am now in the NW T-Hangar Complex, but was previously at Louisiana Aircraft. If you need maintenance, Bob Davis at Davis Aircraft has handled my plane and a number of other Mooneys since 2011 and I'd highly recommend him for all routine maintenance. He is also happy to allow owner-assisted annuals and other maintenance. For anything Mooney-specific (gear shock discs, fuel tank leaks, etc...), I'd recommend with Don Maxwell Aviation Services at GGG (Longview, TX) or Dugosh at ERV (Kerrville, TX).

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.

John, I look forward to meeting you at Reserve or Pineville

Andrew, I am hangered in Slaughter. It's very convenient since its only three minutes from my driveway. I just wish they had lights on the runway. I have spoken with Bob Davis and used Don Maxwell for my perpurchase inspection. Do you have a recommendation of someone to look at my autopilot?

BTR, By far the best avionics shop I've found is Avionics Unlimited at CXO (Conroe, TX).

Welcome!  I learned to fly Mooneys in a '75 F myself, N7433V and it was a great plane.  Sadly a newb crashed it on landing a couple years after I flew it and it was totaled...but fortunately no fatalities thanks to the great Mooney structure.
