1963 MOONEY M20C, 3812 TT, NICE PAINT AND INTERIOR, BELLY SCRAPED ONLY, CHEAP!
SINCE IT"S INCEPTION, THE MOONEY M20C HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A FAST, VERY EFFICIENT, CROSS-COUNTRY CAPABLE AIRPLANE.
.140 KNOTS OR SO ON ABOUT 8.5 GALLONS PER HOUR.
.52 GALLONS OF FUEL GIVES MORE THAN 5 HOURS OF ENDURANCE!!
.NOT MANY AIRPLANES CAN BEAT THOSE SPEC"S
.THE EARLY M20 SERIES WAS A LITTLE OLD FASHIONED, IN THAT THEY HAD WOOD WINGS AND A WOOD TAIL !!
.AIRPLANES LIKE THIS 1963 HAD ALL METAL WINGS AND TAIL, SO THERE IS NO "ROT" ISSUES.
.THIS IS A VERY PRETTY AIRPLANE !!
.WHITE UPPER, DARK MEDIUM BLUE LOWER (ALTHOUGH THE COLOR CODE IS "DARK BLUE"), WITH .WHITE AND GREY SWISHY STRIPES ALONG THE SIDES AND UP THE TAIL.
.VERY CLEAN AND MODERN LOOKING
.PAINTED IN 2004.
.INSIDE THE STORY IS SIMILAR.
.NICE MEDIUM GREY SEATS AND SIDE PANELS, WITH GREY HERRINGBONE CLOTH INSERTS.
.EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND A GOOD LOOK
.THE HEADLINER AND REAR HAT SHELF, ALONG WITH THE SIDE PANELS, LOOK GOOD.
.THE DASH HAS BEEN UPDATED, TO ALL 3 1/8" LATE STYLE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS, IN A "SIX-PACK" CONFIGURATION
.RESETTABLE CIRCUIT BREAKERS REPLACE THE FUSES
.INSTALLED EQUIPMENT INCLUDES:
.APOLLO GPS, WITH IFR ENROUTE ANNUNCIATOR AND SEPARATE INDICATOR
PM 1000 4 PLACE INTERCOM SYSTEM
TRAYS ARE INSTALLED AND WIRED FOR AN MX-11 DIGITAL COMM AND KT-76A TRANSPONDER, BUT THESE PANEL UNITS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
.THIS NICE AIRPLANE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, WITH THE SAME NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SHOP DOING THE WORK FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS
.EXTRAS INCLUDE:
.LASAR COWL CLOSURE MOD, WHICH REDUCES THE DRAG CAUSED BY THE ORIGINAL MOONEY COWL.
AIR OIL SEPARATOR, KEEPS THE BELLY CLEAN
.WINGTIP STROBES
.THIS NICE LITTLE AIRPLANE SUFFERED THE INDIGNITY OF LANDING WITHOUT EXTENDING THE GEAR.
LUCKILY, THE MOONEY IS DESIGNED WITH SEVERAL SEPARATE BELLY SKIN PANELS, EACH OF WHICH SIMPLY SCREWS IN TO THE RESPECTIVE BELLY STRINGERS.
.DUE TO THE ANGLE THAT THIS AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IN, THE DAMAGE IS VERY CONFINED.
ONLY THE BELLY SKINS AFT OF THE NOSE GEAR WELL ARE AFFECTED, AND ALL OF THE SCRAPING STOPS A FEW SKINS FORWARD OF THE REAR EDGE OF THE WING!
A VERY SMALL AREA.
.IT IS COMMON FOR THE INBOARD FLAP HANGER BRACKETS TO BE GROUND DOWN ON A MOONEY GEAR UP, BUT IN THIS CASE THE RIGHT IS COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED, AND THE LEFT HAS ONLY A VERY SMALL SCRAPE, WHICH DID NOT AFFECT THE HINGE BOLT ITSELF !!
.AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, BOTH OF THE NOSE GEAR DOORS HAVE SCRAPES ON THEM, BUT ARE INTACT AND STRAIGHT
.NEITHER OF THE COWL FLAPS OR THE LOWER COWLING ITSELF IS DAMAGED AT ALL
.IN FACT, THE ONLY OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS ENTIRE AIRFRAME IS TO THE LEFT FLAP TRAILING EDGE INBOARD. THIS DIDN"T HAPPEN DURING THE INCIDENT (IT"S NOT SCRAPED), BUT SOME HELPFUL SOUL LIFTED THE FLAP TOO HARD WHEN HE WAS ASSISTING THE OWNER TO GET THE GEAR EXTENDED ON THE RUNWAY.
.THE GEAR SYSTEM, BY THE WAY, IS NOT DAMAGED IN THE LEAST. THE OWNER JUST FORGOT !!
ALSO NOT DAMAGED ARE:
.EVERYTHING ELSE !!
.NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS
NO DAMAGE TO THE AILERONS OR THE RIGHT FLAP
NO DAMAGE TO THE MAIN GEAR DOORS
NO DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE BELLY IN THAT SMALL AREA
DOOR AND BAGGAGE DOOR FIT WELL. THE FUSELAGE IS NOT TWEAKED AT ALL
NO FIREWALL DAMAGE
NO TAILCONE DAMAGE, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE HORIZONTAL, ELEVATORS, VERTICAL OR RUDDER.
THE WINDSHIELDS WERE REPLACED RECENTLY, AND ALL OF THE SIDE GLASS LOOKS GOOD
THE COWLINGS AND NOSEBOWLS ARE UNDAMAGED
THE ENGINE MOUNT IS UNDAMAGED.
.DID YOU NOTICE THAT THERE IS NO ENGINE?
.THE 0-360 LYCOMING HAS BEEN REMOVED, AND IT AND ALL OF IT"S BOLT ON ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES ARE NOT INCLUDED.
.THE ENGINE HAD SUFFERED A PROP STRIKE, OF COURSE, AND WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A TEARDOWN INSPECTION
.AS THESE ENGINES ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON THE OPEN MARKET, FINDING AN UNDAMAGED REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE DIFFICULT.
.TO MAKE THIS AN EASY BOLT BACK IN, THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES AND WIRING WERE UNBOLTED, NOT CUT, AND ARE STILL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED
.THIS AIRCRAFT IS SOLD WITH THE FAA BILL OF SALE, AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS SINCE 1997. (EARLIER LOGBOOKS WERE NOT PROVIDED, SORRY).
TIED DOWN AT THE COLUMBIA, CALIFORNIA AIRPORT, SE OF SACRAMENTO (NEAR THE BEAUTIFUL YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, WHICH IS A MUST SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE THE TIME.)
.WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME AT YOUR EXPENSE IS AVAILABLE.
.THIS IS A FAR BETTER THAN AVERAGE AIRPLANE IN ALL RESPECTS.
DO THE BELLY REPAIRS, ADD YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE, AND YOU WILL HAVE A CHEAP AIRPLANE THAT DOESNT LOOK CHEAP
