Comments
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.

The M20J, first introduced in July 1976 as the 1977 Model 201, included a variety of airframe enhancements engineered by Roy LoPresti that increased the top speed by 16 mph over the M20F model.  The M20J, branded the 201, since it achieved 201 mph on only a 200 hp engine, was a significant milestone in Mooney’s history.  Mooney continued improving the features and creature comforts in the “J” model until production ceased at the end of the 1998 production year.

The 1982 Mooney M20J included improvements over the 1981 model in the form of 5 db’s of additional sound proofing via additional insulation in key areas and double-pane door windows.  The 1982 model also included redesigned front and back seats that reclined for more comfort.  The 1983 M20J remained unchanged from the 1982 model except for a new paint scheme.

This ’83 “J”, with its new Hartzell Scimitar prop, speed mods, and new paint scheme, turns heads when it taxis up to the ramp.  The panel is full IFR with the GTN 650, KFC 150 autopilot, and Aspen 1000 MFD.   The engine runs strong with good compressions (78/78/78/78) and normal oil consumption.  As with many of the airplanes we sell, Air-Mods has maintained this airplane since 2005 and we know the airplane inside and out.  It flies great and is ready to for its next cross-country flight!
