1966 MOONEY M20E/201, FULL CONVERSION, LONG RANGE FUEL, UNIQUE, FAST, CHEAP !!
THE M20E IS THE HIGHER HORSEPOWER (200 H.P.) VERSION OF THE STANDARD "C"
MORE REFINED, (FUEL INJECTED), WITH THE SAME SIZE AND BASIC WEIGHT AS THE "C", SO THE EXTRA HORSEPOWER ALL GOES TOWARD SPEED, AND SURE ENOUGH, A STANDARD "E" MODEL (DUBBED "SUPER" BY THE FACTORY) IS ABOUT A 150 KNOT (170 MPH) CRUISER.
THIS IS NOT A STANDARD "E" MODEL !!
GIVEN THE COMPLETE "201" TREATMENT BY A FORMER OWNER
(INCLUDING GOING SO FAR AS TO FLUSH RIVIT THE FORWARD FUSELAGE JUST LIKE THE FACTORY 201 !!
THIS AIRPLANE HAS :
FACTORY 201 COWLING
FACTORY 201 STYLE SLOPED WINDSHIELD
201 MCCAULEY PROP
FACTORY 201 WING ROOT FAIRINGS
FACTORY 201 LONG DORSAL FIN
LATE MODEL 201 EXTRA LOWER MAIN GEAR DOORS
201 LONG SPINNER
FLAP GAP FAIRINGS
FLAP HINGE FAIRINGS
FUSELAGE FAIRING AT THE TAILCONE
SO NOW WE HAVE THE 201 LOOK AND SLEEKNESS
(THIS 201 COWLING STILL HAS THE RAM AIR HOOKED UP. ADDS ABOUT 1 KNOT AT CRUISE)
SPEAKING OF CRUISE, THIS AIRPLANE AND I JUST DID OVER 1,000 NAUTICAL MILES TOGETHER LAST WEEK.
6,500 FEET, ABOUT 156/157 TRUE
8,500 FEET, ABOUT 160 KNOTS TRUE
JUST LIKE A FAST 201 !!!!
IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS PLANE EVEN MORE LIKE A 201, THEY INSTALLED A COUNTER-WEIGHTED ENGINE AT THE TIME OF CONVERSION, BUT NOT THE IO-360-A3B6D, WHICH THE 201 HAS.
THAT ENGINE HAS THE UNDESIRABLE "DUAL" MAG, WHICH EVERYBODY DISLIKES.
THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE BETTER IO-360-A3B6, STILL COUNTER-WEIGHTED FOR SMOOTHNESS, BUT WITH 2 REAL MAGS FOR RELIABILITY !!
THIS ENGINE HAS 3O75 HOURS TOTAL TIME SINCE FACTORY NEW
MATTITUCK DID A BOTTOM END OVERHAUL 6/92, INCLUDING NEW CASE, CAM, LIFTERS, OIL PUMP AND BEARINGS.
THERE IS NOW 1670 SINCE COMPLETE BOTTOM OVERHAUL
IN 1998 A COMPLETE TOP OVERHAUL WAS DONE, WITH ALL NEW CYLINDERS
THERE IS NOW 975 SINCE COMPLETE TOP OVERHAUL
SO THATS:
3075 ENGINE SINCE NEW
1670 SINCE MATTITUCK BOTTOM WITH NEW CASE AND CAM
975 SINCE NEW CYLINDERS
AND IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP !!
OIL TEMP AND PRESSURE ARE SQUARELY IN THE GREEN
CHT"S AND EGT"S ARE ALMOST PERFECTLY IN LINE
I DIDN"T TRY TO GO LEAN OF PEAK, BUT THIS IS A LYCOMING THAT COULD EASILY !
FUEL FLOW WAS LESS THAN 10 GALLONS PER HOUR, AND SPEEDS ABOVE 150 KNOTS, FOR OVER 15 NAUTICAL MILES PER GALLON !!
BUT THIS AIRPLANE HAS MORE TRICKS UP IT"S SLEVE
88 GALLONS OF FUEL !!
THAT"S RIGHT, THE FORMER OWNER ADDED MONROY AUX FUEL TANKS TO THE STANDARD 52 GALLON TANKS, SO THIS AIRPLANE NOW HAS 88 GALLONS !!!!!!
COMBINE THE EXTRA SPEED WITH THE EFFICIENCY AND 88 GALLONS, AND YOU HAVE AN AIRPLANE THAT CAN TRAVERSE HALF OF THE CONTINENT AT A TIME !!
THE MONROY SYSTEM JUST HAS THE OUTBOARD TANKS FLOW INTO THE INBOARDS, SO THERE IS NO EXTRA FUEL SELECTORS OR PUMPS TO WORRY ABOUT !!
AND YOU CAN EASILY CHOOSE NOT TO FILL THE OUTBOARDS, SO YOU DON"T NEED TO CARRY WHAT YOU WON"T USE !!
ALL OF THIS FUEL REQUIRES A FEW MORE ITEMS, AND THIS AIRPLANE HAS THEM
A JPI EDM-700 EGT/CHT SCANNER WITH BUILT IN FUEL FLOW !!
KNOW TO THE FRACTION OF A GALLON HOW MUCH YOU HAVE USED AND HOW MUCH YOU HAVE LEFT, AS WELL AS THE CONDITION OF YOUR ENGINE AND PROPER LEANING !!
THE OTHER NEAT TOY IS AN AILERON TRIM SYSTEM
WHEN YOU HAVE FULL TANKS, THE AIRPLANE STAYS LEVEL OF COURSE, BUT AS YOU BURN FUEL, ESPECIALLY AT FIRST WHEN YOU ARE BURNING OFF THE OUTBOARD TANKS, ONE WING WILL GET LIGHTER ON YOU.
NO WORRY, JUST HIT THE WING DOWN SWITCH ON THE TRIM, AND IT COMPENSATES IMMEDIATELY, AND YOU ARE BACK TO LEVEL. SUCH A NEAT FIX, AND THE AIRPLANE WOULD BE MORE WORK WITHOUT IT !!
THIS AIRPLANE IS PC EQUIPPED
PC, OR POSITIVE CONTROL, IS MOONEY"S LITTLE HELPING HAND
LIKE A CENTURY I AUTOPILOT, IT WILL HELP YOU HOLD THE WINGS LEVEL, BUT THERE IS NO TRACKING, SO IT IS REALLY JUST A VACUMN ASSIST, NOT A REAL AUTOPILOT. I USED IT THE WHOLE WAY, AND IT DOES TAKE SOME OF THE STRAIN OFF ON A LONG FLIGHT.
THIS AIRPLANE ALSO HAS A DIGITAL GUAGE THAT SHOWS OUTSIDE AIR TEMP, AND CALCULATES INDICATED AND TRUE AIRSPEED. KIND OF NEAT.
UNLIKE THE UGLY, COMPLETELY RIDICULOUSLY UN-ERGONOMIC DASH OF A 1966 M20E, (WHICH IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BETTER THAN A 1964 OR "65, WHICH ARE EVEN WORSE, )
THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE 201 DASH CONVERSION AS WELL !!
NOW WE ARE TALKING !!
GREAT T INSTRUMENT SETUP, GREAT SWITCHES, PLENTY OF RADIO SPACE, AND IT IS PUSHED BACK TOWARD THE 201 WINDSHIELD, SO YOUR FIELD OF VIEW IS BETTER, AND IT FEELS MORE OPEN
LONGER DASH PAD/EYEBROW HAS GOOD INSTRUMENT LIGHTING BUILT RIGHT IN, SO THIS PLANE IS A PLEASURE TO FLY AT NIGHT
BIG BLACK 201 RAM"S HORN YOKES REPLACE THE SPINDLY WHITE ONES THE E CAME WITH. DUAL PTT SWITCHES INSTALLED
THE AVIONICS ARE KING DIGITAL
KMA-24 AUDIO PANEL
KY197 720 CHANNEL COMM WITH FLIP FLOP
KN-53 NAV WITH GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR
KT-76A TRANSPONDER WITH MODE "C" ENCODER
4 PLACE INTERCOM
THERE IS A BRACKET ON THE PASSENGERS YOKE FOR A GARMIN HANDHELD (NOT INCLUDED), AND A REMOTE GPS ANTENNA ON THE DASH (INCLUDED)
THIS AIRPLANE IS NOT DAMAGED !!
IT HAS NOT BEEN HAILED ON !!
THE ANNUAL IS CURRENT UNTIL 1/31/2017
TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME IS 4950 SNEW
IT IS FULLY AIRWORTHY, AND NEEDS NOTHING TO FLY HOME ANYWHERE, AND ENJOY.
IT"S JUST NOT SUPER PRETTY.
OK, IT DOES LOOK OK FROM 20 FEET OR SO.
THE SCHEME IS MODERN, AND THE DARK GREY WITH MAROON STRIPING IS EYE CATCHING.
THE FORMER OWNER USED THIS PLANE TO FLY HALF WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY REGULARLY TO VISIT HIS DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE FAR AWAY, AND IT WORKED FANTASTIC FOR THAT !!
HE WASN"T AS WORRIED ABOUT COSMETICS, SO HE DIDN"T REALLY SPEND ANY TIME ON THEM.
THE TOP COWL HAS SOME PEELING PAINT, AS DO THE LEADING EDGES OF THE WINGS
THE WING TO FUSELAGE FAIRING ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS SOME FILLER CRACKING OUT.
THE 201 WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR, BUT THE SIDE WINDOWS ARE STARTING TO HAZE A LITTLE (HE KEPT IT PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE NORTHEAST, BUT HE USED A NICE CABIN COVER THAT COMES WITH IT, SO THE FUSELAGE ITSELF LOOKS REALLY CLEAN.
NOW THAT HIS DAUGHTER HAS GRADUATED, HIS NEED FOR A FAST, EFFICIENT AIRPLANE DOESNT EXIST.
THE AIRPLANE ONLY FLEW 28 HOURS IN 2015, AND LESS THIS YEAR, AND HE COULD NO LONGER RATIONALIZE KEEPING IT.
SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS ADDED TO HIS DESIRE TO SELL.
HE HAS BOUGHT SOME PARTS FROM ME OVER THE YEARS, AND KNEW I FLY A MOONEY, SO HE OFFERED TO SELL HIS LIKE IT IS, RATHER THAN TAKE THE TIME AND ELBOW GREASE IT WILL REQUIRE TO MAKE THE OUTSIDE MATCH ALL OF THE OTHER GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS AIRPLANE !!
IF THE CAPABILITIES OF THIS AIRPLANE ARE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU, AND THE EXTERNAL COSMETICS ARE SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE OK WITH DOING, OR YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE APPEARANCE ISSUES, THIS IS BY FAR, REALLY FAR, THE BEST WAY TO GET A FAST, UPDATED (MOST PEOPLE JUST ASSUME IT IS A "201") EFFICIENT, LONG RANGE AIRPLANE, WITH LOTS OF HOURS LEFT IN IT, "SUPER"CHEAP (GET IT?)
LOCATED AT OUR CRYSTAL AIRPORT LOCATION, (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MN.
SOLD WITH LOGS FOR AIRFRAME AND ENGINE SINCE NEW, PROP SINCE OVERHAUL, LOTS OF 337"S AND STUFF, POH, FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND FAA BILL OF SALE.
THIS AIRPLANE WAS SQUACK FREE FOR ME THE WHOLE FLIGHT
EVERY LIGHT BULB, EVERY SWITCH, EVERY GUAGE WORKED WITHOUT FLAW.
IT LITERALLY JUST NEEDS A NEW OWNER TO LOVE HER !!
