FTB: Are you a Mooney nut, or did you just like the great paint scheme on that one? I used to fly a M20C as a Company Car and loved it. Great airplane.
Me a mooniac? I'd love to be a legit one!
I do like mooneys and their look so I chose that pic on purpose but i have better theyre just massive.
As to M20s and especially R models, I didn't know they were so roomy until i read it recently. They look small from the outside but I've read rave reviews on the cockpit and long body cabins. Couple speed and efficiency with tks Fiki, spoilers, good looks, etc. wow! Payload seems strong too for a four seater. I'm used to four seaters being two seaters, six being four, etc. the mooney's seem to be solid 4 seaters.
Sadly, i never have been within 10' of one.
But if ever I win the mega tonight I may resurrect mooney.
I never have been in a cirrus either but if ever they make it a taildragger and not have the gangly gear look I might be interested.
Seriously though, I bet my wife would require an A36 Bonanza, the idea of boarding over the wing would be a no go. Or if I really have the money, a Twin Bo!
