How long have you owned it?

What are some specs on a 1984 Mooney M20K?
Speed in cruise, Fuel burn, Useful load, etc. Curious.

Any more 'insider' info would be fun. Thanks.

BTW, what you asking for it? :-)

Montblack,
The reason its called a 231 is because it is suppose to cruise at
231mph (I believe that is wide open throttle though).

The late model Mooneys (201, 231, 252) are definitely named by their
top speed in mph.

Here is a link to the performance section of the 231 POH.
http://lists.aviating.com/mooney/per...erAltitude.pdf

It appears that 231mph is achievable at approx 40" & 2700RPM, which
the turbo'd engine can achieve at 16k through 20k pressure altitude.

I doubt anyone would be willing to run the engine that hard as it is
very close to 100% power.

75% @ 20k ~= 220mph
75% @ 24k ~= 229mph

Let's see: % of HP = GPH * 14.9, so figure what the power level.

It doesn't so much matter where the throttle is set (WOT works best), it's
the RPM (seondary) and the fuel flow (mixture) which is primary.

For example, in a 310HP engine, burning 14.5gph, you would be at 70% power.

Is this correct?

Wrong!


Lean of peak horsepower =14.9 x fuel flow

Lean of peak ONLY and it's not % but straight hp

5 years (bought it 11/00)

I flight plan for 165. Realistically achieve it on 95% of all flights.
This is at 70% power. Fuel burn is 12.5 ROP, 9.5 LOP. Useful load is
943 lbs.

Asking $149,000, negotiable.

Vince,
How did you find the 3 bladed prop to perform. Many in the Mooney
community seem to believe the 3 blade prop reduces cruise speed by
about 5 knots.

I believe that's only for the four cylinder models. The six cylinder
ones (as is Vince's 231) do not suffer any loss of cruise speed.
