Well, I was looking to see if the M20J and M20E had any differences that
would explain our difference in perception, but I'm not sure there is any.
The M20J was cleaned up by Lo Presti to the tune of about 20 knots, but
isn't it the same wing set at the same height above the ground? I've
described the issue I had in other posts, so I won't repeat it. While I
don't have your time on the aircraft, I did accumulate more than 500 hours.

Well, although the 'J' has the same wing, it has a longer body and a higher
MGW. But I don't know what that plus the clean up mods do for take off and
landing distances -- I don't have a POH for the 'J'. I think the stall
speed may be a few knots higher, so that could make a difference at the
margins.
