Once you own a Mooney, everything else seems... well just not as appealing as it used to be :D

Enjoy her, great choice and looks like you got a great plane too :mrgreen:

She is such an amazing aircraft. I was busy upgrading my NPL to PPL and finished about 3 moths ago. I have now done about 15hours on her but she is now in for an avionics upgrade, basically a whole new panel. I flew her to wonderboom for this and could not believe the speed,comfort and flight time vs what I am used to. Ok this is the largest aircraft i have flown. The gear an VP prop is something to get used to if you are used to flying a jabiru but becomes easier every flight. I like the manual gear system.

All and all I am very happy and think after the panel is done I will start doing some serious cross country flying. I will post pics once we are done.

Cannot wait to get her back
