Vehicle description
1970 MOONEY M20F, 3,899TT, 1,201 SMOH, 644 SNEW 3BLADE, NO ACCIDENT, OUT OF ANNUAL, CHEAP! THE M20F IS THE “IMPROVED” MOONEY! ALSO CALLED EXECUTIVE 21 TO DENOTE THE EXTRA ROOM. DESIGNED WITH A LONGER FUSELAGE TO ALLEVIATE THE COMPLAINTS OF UNUSEABLE BACK SEATS IN THE “C” AND “E”, THE F MODEL ALSO ADDS AN ADDITIONAL SIDE WINDOW TO IMPROVE VISABILITY FOR ALL AND VISUALLY THIN OUT THE FUSELAGE. WITH IT’S 200 H.P. FUEL INJECTED ENGINE, THE “F” HAS ENOUGH POWER TO TAKE 4 PEOPLE AND A CRUISE SPEED 10 KNOTS OR MORE FASTER THAN AN EQUIVILENT 200 H.P. ARROW, ABOUT 145 KNOTS OR A LITTLE BETTER (ABOUT 170 MPH). UNLIKE THE 50 GALLONS OF FUEL IN THE ARROW, THE “F” HOLDS 64, SO 5 HOURS PLUS FULL IFR RESERVE IS AVAILABLE. TRY TO GO 5 HOURS IN THE ARROW AT FULL CRUISE AND THE LAST 20 MINUTES WOULD BE VEEEERRY QUIET! THE “F” WAS INTRODUCED IN 1967, BUT WAS CONTINUALLY IMPROVED AND NEW FEATURES ADDED. BY 1970, LIKE THIS AIRPLANE, THE DASH WAS A CLEAN FLAT PANEL, WITH A REASONABLE GUAGE LAYOUT, MODERN STRIP GUAGES FOR FUEL AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION, A VERY NICE THROTTLE QUADRANT AND ELECTRIC GEAR AND FLAPS STANDARD! I WISH I DIDN’T HAVE TO MENTION IT, BUT THE “EXECUTIVE 21” OF 1967 AND 1968 CAME STANDARD WITH MANUAL LANDING GEAR AND FLAPS YOU HAD TO PUMP DOWN HYDRAULICALY WITH A PUMP HANDLE! KIND OF EMBARRASING ACTUALLY AND ALMOST ARCHAIC. MODERN ELECTRIC GEAR AND FLAPS WERE PHASED IN IN 1969 AND ALL 1970 MODELS, INCLUDING THIS AIRCRAFT, HAD THEM FACTORY EQUIPPED. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ARE INDIVIDUALLY ADJUSTABLE REAR SEAT BACKRESTS WITH A GAP BETWEEN THEM TO MAKE ACCESSING THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT IN FLIGHT FAR MORE PLEASANT (THAT’S WHERE THE PICNIC BASKET AND THE COOLER ARE!) THIS 1970 “F” MODEL EXECUTIVE 21 HAS 3,899 HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE AIRFRAME THE LYCOMING IO-360 200 H.P. ENGINE HAS 1,201 SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, WITH ALL CHROME CYLINDERS. COMPRESSION TEST AT LAST ANNUAL SHOWS 78,78,72,78 ALL OVER 80, WHICH IS GREAT OF COURSE. The t.b.o ON THIS ENGINE IS OF COURSE 2,000 HOURS. THE PROPELLOR HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A 3 BLADE HARTZELL, FOR BETTER CLIMB RATE AND LOWER NOISE AND VIBRATION AND BECAUSE IT LOOKS SOOOO MUCH COOLER THAN A SIMPLE 2 BLADE! THIS PROP HAS ONLY 684 HOURS SINCE BRAND NEW! ! AVIONICS ARE PASSABLE, BUT NOT STATE OF THE ART: NARCO DIGITAL MARK 12D NAV-COM WITH GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR 720 CHANNEL NUMBER 2 COMM WITH ANOTHER GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR FOR REDUNDANCY NARCO DIGITAL DME PS ENGINEERING AUDIO PANEL UPGRADE, WITH 4 PLACE INTERCOM BUILT IN. NARCO LEGACY MODE “C” TRANSPONDER WITH ENCODER. THE INTERIOR WAS UPGRADED WITH VERY NICELY BOLSTERED SEATS IN A MODERN “PECAN” COLOR AND THE SEATS LOOK GREAT! OUTSIDE, THE PAINT WAS REDONE IN THE 1980’S IN A ‘201’ TYPE PAINT SCHEME, IN THE POPULAR-AT-THE-TIME OFF-WHITE BASE, WITH RED AND DARK BROWN STRIPES. IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION, WITH A FEW TOUCH-UPS ON THE LEFT REAR NOT PERFECTLY MATCHING, AND THE OUTER WING STRIPES BEING FADED FROM REPEATED POLISHING. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, THIS AIRPLANE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT! IT DOESN’T HAVE HAIL DAMAGE AND IT DIDN’T SUFFER WIND DAMAGE. BUT IT WAS IN A HANGER THAT GOT A FRESH WATER STORM SURGE DURING A HURRICANE, WHICH GOT INTO ALL 3 WHEELS (FEET WET), NOT INTO THE ENGINE OR CABIN (NOT INUNDATED, JUST FEET WET). THE BEARINGS AND WHEELS WILL REQUIRE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE BEFORE YOU WOULD FLY WITH THEM, EVEN WITH ONLY FRESH WATER. AND BY THE WAY, THE HURRICANE OCCURRED IN LATE 2018! THE INSURANCE CLAIM WAS DELAYED BY THE FACT THAT THE OWNER, A MARINE, WAS DEPLOYED AT THE TIME AND WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THEN AFTER THE CLAIM WAS SETTLED IN EARLY 2019, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER GOT TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER ASSIGNEMENT AND THE AIRPLANE JUST SAT THERE, TIED DOWN ON THE RAMP. FINALLY I BOUGHT THE AIRPLANE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT NOT UNTIL THIS SPRING. SO THE LAST ANNUAL INSPECTION EXPIRED DECEMBER OF 2018. THE AIRPLANE HAS NOT BEEN MOVED OR OPERATED SINCE BEING PLACED OUTSIDE THE HANGER. IT WILL REQUIRE REPACK OR REPLACEMENT OF THE WHEELS AND INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS, AS WELL AS A FERRY PERMIT TO BE FLOWN AWAY. THERE IS NO OTHER KNOWN OR SUSPECTED DAMAGE TO THIS ENTIRE AIRPLANE! LUCKILY, THE CHROME CYLINDERS INSTALLED ON THIS ENGINE CAN’T RUST! AND DON’T BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AIRPLANE’S HISTORY OF FLYING IN THE HUMID SOUTHEAST U.S., IT HAD BEEN BASED IN ARIZONA UNTIL 2017! THE LOGBOOKS FOR THE AIRFRAME ARE COMPLETE SINCE DAY 1 FEBRUARY 1970 THE ENGINE LOGBOOKS ARE COMPLETE SINCE THE LAST MAJOR OVERHAUL TO THE LAST ANNUAL THE PROP LOGS ARE INCLUDED SINCE NEW THERE ARE ALSO 337’S, A.D. COMPLIENCE SHEETS AND MISC RECEIPTS AND OF COURSE THE FAA BILL OF SALE! LOCATED AT THE NEW BERN NORTH CAROLINA AIRPORT, WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE TILL THE END OF JULY, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE IF YOU NEED IT. THIS M20F WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT CROSS COUNTRY AIRPLANE FOR YOUR FAMILY OR BUSINESS NEEDS. IT IS A GREAT STEP-UP AIRPLANE, WITH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND SPEED PER DOLLAR SPENT FOR FUEL AND MAINTENANCE. AND YOU ARE ABLE TO BUY THIS ONE WAY UNDER THE PREVAILING PRICE, SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY TO SPRUCE IT UP A LITTLE AND STILL HAVE THE CHEAPEST ELECTRIC GEAR, 3 BLADE PROP “F” ON THE PLANET! TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ TO THE END OF MY ADMITTEDLY LONG-WINDED AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTIONS, I WILL BE HAPPY TO INCLUDE A COMPLETE SET OF GOOD CLEVELAND WHEELS (CORRECT FOR THIS AIRCRAFT) AND BRAKE ROTORS AND CALIPERS AS WELL TO THE BUYER OF THIS AIRCRAFT! JUST ASK! WITH THESE PARTS INCLUDED FOR FREE! (I WILL EVEN SHIP THEM UPS REGULAR DELIVERY FOR FREE! ) YOU WILL BE DOING A PARTS REPLACEMENT WITH NO CONCERN ABOUT WHAT THE CONDITION IS WITH THE CURRENTLY INSTALLED WHEELS AND BRAKES. GOOD BIDDING!
