Mooney drivers share a unique and deeply seated characteristic – they like to go fast! Mooneys are among the most effecient 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 M20K 231, introduced in 1979, was the first non-pressurized Turbo Mooney. By installing the 210 HP TSIO-360-LB engine into the M20J 201 airframe, the 231 (also numbered for it’s top speed) was hailed as the fastest single-engine production aircraft in the world. It was an instant success and even outsold the ever so popular Mooney 201 during the first two years of production. However, while a great airplane, there was still some room for improvement. In 1985, Mooney’s engineers were tasked with making as many improvements as possible to the 231 and bringing to the market a vastly improved airplane. Among the improvements was engine cooling and a redesigned primary air induction system. Just as monumental, TCM listened to customers and made big improvements to the –LB engine that resulted in the –MB version. The changes were many. Most important were a tuned induction system for more even induction airflow to the cylinders, a larger Airesearch TAO4 turbocharger, a manifold pressure controlling system allowing full throttle operations for takeoff and the incorporation of an intercooler that cooled induction air temperatures by as much as 100 degrees F. Addition improvements included NACA induction air inlet, new 28 volt electical system, and inboard landing gear doors that completely eliminated wheel well drag. The improvements resulted in the 252 that ran cooler than the 231, required only 36 inches of manifold pressure versus 40 with the 231, and flew 10 kts faster than the 231. This particular 252 TSE (Turbo Special Edition) has been maintained by Mooney Service Centers sparing no expense. The turbo-charged engine will get you where you need to go quickly….and once you get there, the striking paint scheme will turn eyes as you taxi onto the ramp. This is truly a remarkable airplane priced very attractively. For more information about the M20K 252 evolution and performance data, click on MAPA |
