Vehicle description
1977 MOONEY M20J 201, 7849TT, 948SMOH, 460 SNEWPROP, NO ACCIDENT, NEEDS REASSEMBLY ONLY, CHEAP! THE MOONEY 201 IS ONE OF THE BEST PERSONAL AIRPLANES MONEY CAN BUY! ENOUGH ROOM (MOST MOONEY COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT THE OLDER M20C AND E MODELS, NOT THE 201) FOR 4 PEOPLE AND BAGS. VERY FAST FOR THE HORSEPOWER (NOT REALLY 200 MPH, BUT 180-185 MPH ALL DAY) ON A BULLET-PROOF 4 CYLINDER LYCOMING 200 H.P. ENGINE THAT BURNS 10-11 GALLONS PER HOUR! GOOD LEGS, WITH THE STANDARD 64 GALLONS OF GAS YOU CAN GO 5 HOURS AND STILL HAVE LEGAL IFR RESERVES AND DROP DEAD GORGEOUS TO LOOK AT, WITH ITS TIGHTLY COWLED NOSE TO THE SWOOPY LAID BACK WINDSHIELD AND LOTS OF FLUSH RIVETING, THE 201 REALLY DOES LOOK FAST STANDING STILL! THIS AIRCRAFT HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! NO HAIL DAMAGE OR GROUND INCIDENT EITHER. IT WAS STOLEN! TAKEN FROM A PHOENIX AIRPORT AND FOUND SITTING AT A SMALL ARIZONA AIRPORT 3 MONTHS LATER, PARKED ON THE RAMP WITH NO DAMAGE. NOT THAT IT WAS FLYING AROUND FOR 3 MONTHS, JUST THAT AN UNDAMAGED AIRPLANE FLOWN IN AT NIGHT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACT ATTENTION. IT TOOK QUITE SOME TIME FOR ANYBODY TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT, AND MORE TIME TO FIND THE FORMER OWNER (HIS INSURANCE COMPANY HAD LONG SENSE PAID HIM FOR THE MISSING AIRPLANE) AND REPORT THE AIRPLANE FOUND TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THIS AIRPLANE HAD RECEIVED MANY AVIONICS UPGRADES, AND AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THESE RADIOS WERE STOLEN WHEN THE AIRPLANE WAS LEFT. MOST WERE CUT OUT AND THE TRAYS REMOVED, BUT PURHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE WAS NOT CUT! A RECENT INSTALLATION OF A JPI EDM 900 DIGITAL ENGINEMONITOR SYSTEM, WHICH REPLACES ALL OF THE ENGINE AND FUEL GUAGES WITH A LARGE DIGITAL SCREEN AND IS CERTIFIED AS A PRIMARY GUAGE, NOT A BACKUP. THE EDM CONNECTORS ARE VERY EASY TO UNSCREW WITH JUST YOUR FINGERS, SO THAT’S WHAT THE THIEVES DID, LEAVING ALL OF THE CONNECTORS FULLY WIRED UP, THE COMPLETE HARNESS INTACT AND ALL THE PROBES STILL INSTALLED! A GREAT STROKE OF LUCK, AS THE DIGITAL FACE CAN BE BOUGHT SEPERATELY AND SLID RIGHT BACK IN, BUT INSTALLING THE PROBES AND HARNESS CAN BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! OTHER THAN THE MISSING RADIOS, THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE IS TO THE RIGHT AILERON TRAILING EDGE, WHERE IT COAUGHT AN OBSTRUCTION AND TORE SLIGHTLY AFTER THE WING WAS REMOVED FROM THE FUSELAGE. I BEGGED THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO SELL ME THE PLANE RIGHT WHERE IT WAS, ON THE SPOT, WHEN HE CALLED ME FROM THE PLANE TO ASK ABOUT IT’S VALUE, BUT THAT IS NOT THE WAY THEIR RULES WORK, SO INSTEAD HE HAD A PROFESSIONAL RECOVERY COMPANY TAKE THE AIRPLANE APART NICELY AND TRANSPORT IT, AND THEN I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM! WE BOUGHT AND ARE SELLING HERE THE COMPLETE AIRPLANE, WITH ENGINE, PROP, COMPLETE AIRFRAME, LOGBOOKS, BILL OF SALE AND FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE! AND EVEN THE KEYS! MOST OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ARE INCLUDED AND ALL OF THE SWITCHGEAR IS INTACT, BUT THERE IS NO ATTITUDE INDICATOR OR D.G. INSTALLED. THE ONLY TRAYS INSTALLED AND WIRED ARE FOR A GARMIN AUDIO PANEL AND A KING NAV-COM, AND THOSE PANEL UNITS ARE NOT INCLUDED. THE AUDIO PANEL INCLUDED AN INTERCOM SYSTEM AND THE WIRING FOR THAT FEATURE IS STILL INSTALLED. A PATHFINDER P2A WING LEVELOR AUTOPILOT IS ALSO STILL FULLY INSTALLED. INSIDE, THE FRONT SEATS LOOK FINE BUT NOT NEW, THE REAR SEAT IS DIRTY FROM HAVING DIRTY ITEMS PLACED ON THEM, THE SIDE PANEL PLASTICS AND DASH PLASTICS LOOK BETTER THAN AVERAGE BUT THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE PLASTIC IS BADLY CRACKED. THE EXTERIOR IS FACTORY GREEN AND IN PASSABLE CONDITION. THE ONLY KNOWN ISSUES ARE WITH THE RIGHT AILERON TRAILING EDGE SKIN (PATCH, RESKIN OR REPLACE) AND A LEADING EDGE DENT ON THE LEFT SIDE HORIZONTAL STAB, PRE-EXISTING AND STRAIGHTENABLE/FILLABLE, NO REPLACEMENT REQUIRED TO BE AIRWORTHY! THE ENGINE IS GREAT! IT HAS NO APPARENT ISSUES, NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND 948 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, TO MANUFACTURERS NEW PARTS LIMITS WITH NEW LYCOMING CYLINDERS AND COMPLETE DYNAMIC BALANCING, BY PENN YAN! NO PROP DAMAGE AND NO SUSPECTED ISSUES. AT LAST ANNUAL MARCH OF 2020, THE COMPRESSIONS WERE, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, GREAT AT 74/74/72/75 OVER 80! THE PROP IS EVEN BETTER! NO DAMAGE AT ALL, THE PROP IS A NEW HARTZELL SCIMITAR MODEL WITH ONLY 460 HOURS SINCE BRAND NEW, INSTALLED 10/2007, WITH A LONG POLISHED SPINNER! ALL OF THESE LISTED TIMES ARE BASED ON THE LAST LOG ENTRIES, WITH 12 HOURS (A RANDOM NUMBER) ADDED. The airplane was found less than 1 hour from the point it was stolen, but as the tach was recorded in the stolen EDM-900, the actual number is unknown. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW INSTRUMENTS, YOUR DESIRED CHOICE OF RADIOS, THE AILERON REPAIR, ALL THIS AIRPLANE REQUIRES IS REASSEMBLY ! IT ALREADY HAS ALL OF THE AERODYNAMICS THE 201 CAME WITH AND THE ADDED SPEED AND MAINTENANCE CONVIENIENCE OF A 1 PIECE FIBERGLASS BELLY SKIN, WHICH WAS NOT STANDARD ON THE 201 UNTIL THE LATE 1980’S, BUT IT’S VERY NICE TO HAVE! A FEW OTHER VISIBLE EXTRAS INCLUDE A NEW PARMETHEUS PLUS LED LANDING LIGHT AND A PANEL DOCK FOR AN AERO 660 IN THE DASH. SOLD WITH AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS SINCE BRAND NEW TO THE LAST ENTRY WITH TIMES, 8/24/2020 AT 422 TACH/7,817 TOTAL TIME. THE AIRCRAFT WAS FOUND 12/7/2020. THE ENGINE LOGS ARE COMPLETE FROM THE PENN YAN MAJOR TO THE PRESENT. THE ENGINE TOTAL TIME AT THE MAJOR WAS ONLY 2151, SO ONLY 3,100 ENGINE TOTAL TIME. THE PROP LOGS ARE COMPLETE SINCE NEW TO THE PRESENT. ALSO INCLUDED ARE: PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK WEIGHT AND BALANCE (1000 LB USEFUL LOAD) AND A WHOLE ADLOG SYSTEM, WITH AD COMPLIENCE SHEETS, 337’S RECEIPTS AND OTHER INFO. AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE AND THE FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND THE KEYS! LOCATED IN A HANGER AT THE GLENDALE AIRPORT. WE HAVE THE HANGER UNTIL JULY 31 ST , SO THE AIRPLANE MUST BE REMOVED BY THEN, BUT THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE UP TO THAT DATE! SO THERE IS LABOR REQUIRED HERE, BUT NOT REALLY MUCH AIRFRAME REPAIR OR EVEN PARTS REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. AND YOU CAN HAVE A 201 WITH A GREAT ENGINE AND GREAT PROPELLOR, FOR 10’S OF THOUSANDS LESS THAN A FLYING ONE! GOOD BIDDING!
