Mooney is a great airplane.
The laminar flow wing likes to go fast and not slow down. Too many
pilots land the Mooney too fast because they do not plan their
approach.
There is a company at the San Antonio airport that installs speed
brakes in the wing. These things are great! You can leave your power
in and desend without shock cooling the engine.
Not that speed brakes aren't useful, but:
