There is a story about going to your bank, getting a crisp new $100
bill from you account and walking out to the parking lot and burning it and if that doesn't bother you.... Since you're buying a Mooney, let's alter the story a wee bit: 1) go to your bank and withdraw FIVE crisp new $100 bills from your account So are you saying that a Mooney is more expensive to maintain then any other complex aircraft? I would think that it would be less than a Cessna retractable gear (because of the gear complexity) or a Beechcraft retract. Manual gear Mooneys are very inexpensive to maintain (personal & Mooney list experience). Electric gear Mooneys are more, but not near as much as something like a Bonanza. --- KR |

We did see Jim depart one morning, his *monster* grill being towed behind
that cursed van of his. Luckily, my trani held up for the return trip to the Twin Cities. My water pump and O2 sensor, however, did not fare so well post OSH 2004. That van gave its all for our *burp* high cholesterol... It IS good to have you back. It's hard to keep Martin in line all by myself! ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Hi My name is Jack and I'm an aviation addict...could I possibly
convince you that my addiction is much safer and cheaper than crack? -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL, IA Student "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
