1974 MOONEY M20F, 99 SMOH, NEWER PAINT AND LEATHER, BELLY DAMAGE, CHEAP!!
THE MOONEY M20F WAS AN INSTANT HIT UPON IT’S INTRODUCTION IN 1967!
WITH IT’S LARGER ENGINE (200 H.P.), FUEL INJECTION AND ESPECIALLY THE EXTRA 10” OF LEGROOM, MUCH OF IT DEVOTED TO THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS LEGROOM!
FUEL CAPACITY WAS INCREASED 12 GALLONS TO 64, GROSS WEIGHT INCREASED 175 LBS, AND ANOTHER SIDE WINDOW WAS ADDED!!
THESE CHANGES TRANSFORMED THE MOONEY FROM A FAST 2+2 (M20C AND E) TO A TRUE CROSS-COUNTRY 4 SEATER!
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE M20F FROM 1967 TO THIS 1974 MODEL INCLUDE:
ELECTRIC GEAR
ELECTRIC FLAPS
THROTTLE/PROP/MIXTURE QUADRANT
DASH PUSHED FORWARD, AWAY FROM YOUR FACE!!
THE SEATS ARE MORE FORM FITTING
IN FACT, THE LONGER, MORE POWERFUL FUEL INJECTED M20F WAS THE MODEL THAT, WITH SOME AERODYNAMIC TWEAKS, BECAME THE 201!
THIS M20F HAS HAD SOME NICE UPDATES!
INTERIOR REDONE WITH LEATHER SEATS AND NEW FOAM, HEADLINER REPLACED, SIDE PANELS REDONE, PLASTICS REFINISHED, NEW CARPETING!
PAINT WAS A STRIP AND REPAINT IN CLEAN WHITE WITH 2 MODERN “SWISH” STRIPES!
THE 200 H.P. LYCOMING IO-360 A1A ENGINE HAS ONLY 99 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL!
OTHER EXTRAS ADDED IN THE LAST YEAR INCLUDE NEW STYLE LED NAV/STROBE LIGHTS, LED TAIL/STROBE LIGHT AND LED LANDING LIGHT!
I MENTIONED THAT THE M20F BECAME THE 201 WITH SOME AIRFRAME TWEAKS.
THIS AIRPLANE HAS A ONE PIECE WINDSHIELD, AND JUST RECENTLY HAD A 201 LIKE NOSEBOWL MOD PERFORMED, WHICH INCLUDES AN OIL COOLER RELOCATION KIT TO THE REAR OF THE BAFFLING AND A BLOCK OFF ON THE LOWER NOSEBOWL, BY STC.!
OTHER NICE ADDITIONS ARE ROSEN MULTI-POSITION SUN VISORS AND A VERTICAL CARD STYLE FREESTANDING COMPASS!
THIS NICE AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN THE AIRPLANE WAS BEING FLOWN TO A REPAIR SHOP TO ADDRESS A GEAR ISSUE, DISCOVERED DURING A PRE-BUY INSPECTION.
THE OWNER PULLED THE GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER, AND THE PILOT (NOT THE OWNER, POSSIBLY NOT AS FAMILIER WITH THE ELECTRIC GEAR SYSTEM ON A MOONEY) TOOK OFF WITH NO PROBLEM.
SOMEWHERE DURING THE FLIGHT, IT APPEARS THE PILOT TRIED TO RAISE THE GEAR AND IT DID NOT CYCLE FULLY, OR AT LEAST IT DID NOT SEEM TO GO DOWN FULLY. HE FLEW BY THE RUNWAY A COUPLE TIMES, BUT THOSE ON THE GROUND WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE STATUS FOR SURE.
ON TOUCHDOWN, ALL 3 GEAR FOLDED INTO THE WELLS, AND THE PROP STRUCK THE RUNWAY.
LUCKILY, IT WAS A “GOOD” LANDING OTHERWISE, SO THE DAMAGE IS REALLY VERY MINIMAL!
THE STEP IS SCRAPED ON THE BOTTOM, BUT DID NOT COLLAPSE OR WEAR THROUGH!
SINCE THE STEP STAYED UP, THE RIGHT FLAP AND THE RIGHT FLAP HANGER WERE UNTOUCHED!
THE LEFT FLAP TRAILING EDGE IS ROUGH FROM CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY, BUT INTACT (FERRYABE AS IS!)
THE LEFT FLAP HANGER THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE WING HAS JUST THE SMALLEST CORNER TAKEN OFF, WHICH DID NOT GET INTO THE 2 ATTACHING RIVETS, SO I WOULD SAY IT IS FINE AS IS.
THE FLAP PORTION OF THE HANGER WAS NOT TOUCHED!!
THE NOSE GEAR DOORS ARE SCRAPED ON THE BUMPED OUT PORTION, BUT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE HINGES OR ACTUATING RODS/ACTUATORS!
THERE IS NO APPARENT GEAR DAMAGE, AND THE AIRPLANE IS UP ON ALL 3 GEAR NOW, WITHOUT EXTRA SECURING PIECES!
THE MAIN GEAR DOORS ARE ALSO UNDAMAGED!
THE EXHAUST DOWNTUBE PIPE HAS JUST THE SLIGHTEST ROUGH EDGE AT THE BOTTOM, WITH NO FEATHERING AT THE OPENING, SO AGAIN, PROBABLY SMOTH IT AND FLY IT THIS WAY!
THE LOWER COWLING AND NOSEBOWL WERE NOT TOUCHED!!
THE SUPPORTS THAT GO AROUND THE NOSE GEAR WELL ARE NOT SCRAPED OR BENT, ALTHOUGH THE SCREW ON SKIN THAT COVERS THIS AREA WAS SCRAPED.
THE NEXT TWO AFT BELLY SKINS WERE ALSO SCRAPED (THESE ALSO SCREW ON).
THE CENTER AREAS OF THE SUPPORT RIBS (JUST SHEET METAL HELD ON WITH 4 RIVITS EACH) ARE SCRAPED THROUGH, BUT THE STEEL SUPPORT TUBE UNDER THE CENTER IS NOT SCRAPED!
THE REAR SUPPORT FOR THE GEAR ACTUATOR IS SCRAPED, BUT IS INTACT AND FUNCTIONAL AS-IS!
THE AFT BELLY PANEL HAS SOME SUPERFICIAL SCRAPING, MOSTLY TO THE PAINT, AND IT WIL SAND OUT AND BE REPAINTABLE WITHOUT REPLACEMENT!
OF COURSE, THE TIPS OF THE 2 BLADE MCCAULEY PROP WERE TOO LONG NOT TO TOUCH, SO BOTH BLADES ARE BENT OVER!
THIS DAMAGE REQUIRES AN INSPECTION TO THE ENGINE, BUT OF COURSE, NOT A MAJOR OVERHAUL TO THIS ONLY 99 HOUR SINCE OVERHAULED ENGINE!!
AS GEAR UP LANDINGS ON MOONEY’S GO, THIS IS AS LIGHT AS THEY COME!
AND THIS AIRPLANE HAS VERY NICE NEW STYLE PAINT!
AND A NICE LEATHER INTERIOR!
AND A 99 SMOH ENGINE!
DON’T MISS THIS GREAT AIRPLANE AT A CRAZY GOOD PRICE!!
TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME IS ONLY 3,974!
LOGBOOKS FROM DAY 1 TO THE PRESENT ARE INCLUDED FOR BOTH THE AIRFRAME AND ENGINE!
