1965 MOONEY M20E, SUPER 21, 200 H.P., SUPER LIGHT DAMAGE, CHEAP !!
THE M20E IS THE SPEEDSTER OF THE EARLY MOONEYS !!!
STANDARD, UNMODIFIED SPEED IS OVER 150 KNOTS (172+ MPH) ON 10 GALLONS PER HOUR CRUISE !!
THIS AIRPLANE, BEING A 1965, HAS THE MODERN SQUARED SIDE WINDOWS, WHICH HELPS TO LENGTHEN THE LOOK OF THE FUSELAGE SIDES, AS WELL AS ELIMINATES THE OLD FASHIONED "HUMPED" LOOK OF THE EARLY "C" AND "E" MODELS
THIS AIRPLANE HAS BEEN FURTHER UPDATED WITH THE MOST DESIRABLE MOD FOR THE EARLY MOONEYS, A SLOPED, 201 STYLE WINDSHIELD !!!
ALL MOONEYS UP THROUGH 1976 HAD A SMALL STRAIGHT UP, STUPID LOOKING WINDSHIELD !! THE EARLY AIRPLANES, LIKE THIS ONE AND ANY PRE-73, WERE EVEN WORSE, AS THEY ALSO HAD A CENTER PILLAR DIVIDING YOUR FIELD OF VISION !!
THE LONG, LARGER, "SPEED SLOPE" 201 STYLE WINDSHIELD LIKE THIS ONE HAS, DOES THE SAME THING FOR THIS MOONEY AS THE SIMILAR MOD DOES FOR THE EARLY BONANZA
FASTER CRUISE SPEEDS
QUIETER
MUCH BETTER FORWARD VISIBILITY
A MORE OPEN FEELING COCKPIT !!
WHY DOESNT EVERYONE CONVERT THIER OLD WINDSHIELD TO THE 201 TYPE?
ITS EXPENSIVE, AND A LOT OF WORK, AND YOU PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO PAINT THE WHOLE AIRPLANE WHEN YOU ARE DONE !!
THIS AIRPLANE HAS HAD THE MOD, AND IT WAS REPAINTED AS WELL !!
OTHER UPGRADES INCLUDE:
COWL CLOSURE MOD, WHICH ACTUALLY IMPROVES COOLING WHILE INCREASING SPEED
ELECTRIC LANDING GEAR !!
(ALL MOONEYS IN THE 1960"S HAD MANUAL GEAR FROM THE FACTORY, EVEN THE F MODEL)
EXTERIOR LOOKS GOOD, WITH PAINT IN GOOD SHAPE OVERALL, IN A MORE MODERN 201 STYLE SCHEME. BRIGHT RED AND BLACK STRIPES LOOK GREAT !!
THE SEATS IN THIS AIRPLANE HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO MODERN TAN LEATHER, WHICH IS GREAT, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL MOONEY INTERIORS WERE LITERALLY HIDEOUS !!
SOME WEAR SHOWING ON THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT, BUT THE OTHERS ARE QUITE NICE, AS WELLL AS THE SIDE PANELS AND THE HEADLINER, SO OVERALL IT WILL CLEAN UP GOOD
THE DASH HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH SOME MODERN FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS, AND HAS A GOOD 4 PLACE PS ENGINEERING AUDIO PANEL INSTALLED, WITH MUSIC INPUT !!
KING KR-86 ADF SYSTEM WITH COMBINED ANTENNA IS ALSO INCLUDED
THE REST OF THE AVIONICS UNITS ARE NOT INCLUDED, BUT THE TRAYS ARE INSTALLED AND INCLUDED FOR:
KING PUSHBUTTON KMA-24 AUDIO PANEL
KING KX-155 DIGITAL NAV-COM
KING KX-170B 720 CHANNEL NAV-COM
KING KLN-89B IFR GPS SYSTEM
KING TRANSPONDER
THESE TYPE UNITS WOULD BE AVAILABLE, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, FROM US OR OTHERS, FOR SIMPLE SLIDE-IN REPLACEMENT
STILL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED ARE THE GPS ANNUCIATOR AND SWITCHES WHICH HELPS TO MAKE THE KLN-89B IFR
ALSO STILL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED IS THE KING KI-208 VOR/LOC INDICATOR, AND THE MODE "C" ENCODER.
THE GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR IS NO LONGER INSTALLED OR INCLUDED
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, TO THE FRONT END AS A RESULT OF THE NOSE GEAR FOLDING UP ON LANDING ROLL-OUT.
THE GEAR FOLED AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THE ROD ENDS FAILING. THIS DID NOT DAMAGE OR AFFECT THE REST OF THE SYSTEM, THE MAIN GEAR OR THE GEAR MOTOR ASSEMBLY
THE FOLLOWING DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED:
BOTH NOSE GEAR DOOR HAVE A 2-3" SCRAPED AND DENTED AREA IN THEM. SHOULD BE REPAIRABLE, AS THE BALANCE OF THIER STRUCTURE IS NOT DAMAGED
THE CENTER SECTION OF THE LOWER COWL, IN THE AREA OF THE AIR FILTER, IS SCRAPED AND DENTED. THIS WILL REQUIRE SOME SKIN REPLACEMENT, OR REPLACEMENT OF THIS ONE SECTION MIGHT BE CHEAPER, AS THEY ARE COMMONLY NOT HURT IN FULL GEAR UP LANDINGS, AND THEREFORE PLENTIFUL
THE REMOVABLE LOWER SIDE CHEEKS AND THE UPPER COWL ARE UNDAMAGED, AS IS THE COWL CLOSURE SPEED PANEL
THE TWO COWL FLAPS HAVE LIGHT SCRAPING TO EACH
THE EXHAUST PIPE IS SLIGHTLY DENTED AND SCRAPED AT THE LOWER TRAILING EDGE
THAT IS THE TOTAL AND COMPLETE AIRFRAME DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE FROM THIS INCIDENT
WE DID FIND ONE FLAP HANGER BRACKET SLIGHTLY SCRAPED, PRESUMABLY FROM ANOTHER INCIDENT LONG AGO, BUT NOT FROM THIS INCIDENT. FLAPS ARE FINE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN ANNUALING IT LIKE THIS FOR YEARS
SPEAKING OF ANNUALS, THIS AIRPLANE IS NOT A SITTER, LAST ANNUAL WAS PERFORMED 6/2014, SO IT JUST NOW WENT OUT OF ANNUAL !!
THE 2 BLADE HARTZELL PROP HAS SCRAPING ON BOTH BLADES AS A RESULT OF THE GEAR ISSUE, AND BOTH WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.
THE HUB HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW "B" STYLE UNIT, WHICH HAS NO AD"S AGAINST IT, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO RE-USE THAT IF YOU CAN
THE SPINNER AND BACKING PLATES SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE AND ARE INCLUDED
THE AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME IS A REASONABLE 5200
THE IO-360 A1A, WIDE DECK, 200 H.P. ENGINE HAS ONLY 478 HOURS SINCE OVERHAUL IN 2007
THE PROP HAS 174 HOURS SINCE OVERHAUL WITH THE NEW HUB
THE AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED AT THE MIDLOTHIAN TEXAS MID-WAY AIRPORT, JUST SOUTH OF DALLAS
RECENTLY PUT ON THE RAMP, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY HANGERED BEFORE THAT, RESULTING IN THE NICE CONDITION OF THE PAINT
WE WILL PAY THE SMALL TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND YOU CAN CONTINUE IT LONGER IF YOU NEED TO.
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE, FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, AIRFRAME, ENGINE AND PROP LOGS, AND PILOTS OPERATING HANDBOOK
THIS WILL MAKE A VERY NICE LOOKING, FAST CROSS COUNTRY AIRPLANE AT A VERY CHEAP PRICE.
