Comments
Mooney drivers share a unique and deeply seated characteristic - we like to go fast! And this is the fastest "C" model on the east coast. With over $17k in speed mods, this airplane looks and flies like a "J" model down low and trues-out at 152-154 kts between 6000 and 8000 feet using only about 9 gallons per hour.

For those of you not very familiar with Mooney's...if a Cessna is akin to a Chevrolet and a Bonanza is akin to a Mercedes, then the Mooney is akin to a Porche. Mooneys are among the most efficient and structurally sound airplanes manufactured. The low profile cross-section and laminar flow wings reduce drag to enable the fast air speeds typically unachievable in other manufacturers' airplanes with similar horsepower. The tubular steel frame, acting as a cockpit roll cage, along with the wingtip-to-wingtip wing spar, make the Mooney airframe the strongest and safest among GA airplanes.

241LW is based here at Robbinsville and, lucky for me, home to Air-Mods - an authorized Mooney Service Center. Air-Mods installed the speed modifications and has serviced this airplane since the mid 90's. The airplane is meticulously maintained, and through Air-Mods' recommendation, Wilmar Air Service stripped and resealed the fuel tanks last October (their process is now used by the Mooney factory and they just extended the transferable warranty to 5 years).

I started flying this airplane in March of '95 and bought it in '96 - and now selling it to buy a "J" model. You will be hard pressed to find a better "C". This airplane is priced right and will provide the new owner with pride in ownership, economy, speed, and a good cross-country platform for years to come. If you're really interested, give me a call!
