    I laughed my ass a your analogy about flying out of a jungle to save your life. I've made tons of patches, and they're only on iso containers. Those things are beat up, and my patches are waaayyy better. How they had the guts to go in the air with that scraggly repair on the wing is baffling.

    New subscriber disappointed in the labeling here. Nothing wrong with historical reference as it fills in the back story, but could have easily gained more attention and likes by keeping it separated. Just keep it concise and call it what it is. A short video under proper cover will keep folks who love aviation coming back.

    You mentioned that leaky gas tanks are common on Mooney. The wet wing tanks will develop leaks when flexed. The limited suspension travel of the rubber ring landing gear results in a lot of shock being transmitted into the wet wing, resulting in sealant failure. This is exacerbated by grass or rough field operation, as it appears your Mooney was used. Frequent cleaning and resealing of the wet wings may be necessary.

    dont giveup. i have been fling since i was 8 yup my dad for my 8th birthday gave me a flying lesson . by the tim ei was 16 i had over 500 hours. i got a hours lesson everyweek. funny i found in one of my old old old logbooks a reciept for my lessons.ready? instructor and plane was 8 bucks, old straight tail 150. my 1st airplanei bought was a 1947 stinson voyager for 1900 dollars. with a franklin. i flew that plane for many years i still have it. i also have 2 stearmans a stinson reliant for my cross country trips. not even close to being a fast plane but i am never in a rush. i have like7 planes now but? they still cost less than what a new 172 would cost. i personally prefer the old tail draggers i cruise along at 120 =140 mph depending on which plane i decide to take on a trip. i have room for one more plane so i am buying another super stearman, now that is a real airplane. i hav emore fun with them than i did with my harleys or streetrods i need to find a gf who likes old planes then it would be really run lol and at 70? i still think im 25 my brain does my body? not so much lol but do nto giveup ..

    Mate, I am only at the 12min mark and already I am so green with envy. The Mooneys were/are a beautiful aeroplane and I wished I could have had one since I saw one land at my home town's airfield. It was the mid 70s and we had an air show on. But I was injured at work and couldn't finish my training. I am now gonna watch the rest of your vid. Oh, btw, I'm a retired Paramedic in Australia. Cheers.

    @josephkaminski1857 8 месяцев назад

    well, your AP should have serviced the , the oil and filter, spark plugs, the injectors, the gascolator and the intake air filter before trying to fire it up. If it had started you likely would have ingested the air filter and done some internal engine damage because the foam disintegrates on them . He is not very good at what he does.

    Hi Mark, I wish you the very best with your lovely Mooney. It's going to take far longer than you think - restorations always do - but all your hard work and hard-earned money will be well spent. Your plane has found its correct owner. It looks as if there are lots of people rooting for you on this one and they can form an orderly queue behind me!
