- In this video, Mark Pilkington of Skywagons.com covers the main differences between Mooney M20 series aircraft. It is not all encompassing, but should give enough information for viewers to identify the different Mooney's when seen on the ramp.
This video was very informative and a great representation of the Mooney.I just recently purchased a Mooney M20J and absolutely love it. I started a RUclips channel where I fly my Mooney cross-country to repossess vehicles.
The push/pull rods and the short aileron throw spoil Mooney pilots such that no other aircraft compares with "the feel factor". A true "Sport Aircraft" sensation. One of the most beautiful general aviation aircraft ever manufactured.
Mooney are great.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 The shortest Mooney (M18 Mite) is equally responsive and has "stick" control. I'd like to SQUEEZE you into mine for a flight review but logistics would make it difficult (located in Canada).
Very well Explained Sir !! Not everybody knows everything about Airplanes so to me as an Airplane enthusiast I appreciate this !!
Thank you.
A trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Christopher Emanuel yea, been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)
Thanks for the great video and wow, that's a beautiful airport.
Many thanks!
Is it true that the long body rear seat legroom is equivalent to the mid body? I have heard the added length of the long body is all in the baggage area and doesn't increase the legroom at all.
Yes, the long Mooney's have a huge baggage area no more rear legroom than a mid length Mooney.
You forgot to mention the B and A models i
when referring to the short version.
We didn't have an A or B model to demo, so we left them off. There are only 63 A models and 99 B models registered in the US. Of those, we have no idea how many still fly.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 Sure like to see a comparison between the G and F models. I think the G is an overlooked as a great bargain.
Nice 👍
I don’t know if you’ve flown all three lengths much but do you have any information as to how they handle compared to one another? With the wingspan staying constant I would almost think the longer they are the more stable they might be in terms of yaw
That is very true and observant. Same wingspan and longer and longer equals more stability especially in pitch. Landing the TLS Bravo is very sedate indeed because the elevator is about three feet further away. Also, the longer mooneys do not wobble and yaw so much in turbulence. Good point.
Maybe you could explain why they put the tails on backwards. I have never understood that.
The theory is that the vertical leading edge of the tail reaches forward into the airflow to recover from a spin sooner
Surprisingly little information in this video.
Really?
Where else have you seen all three Mooney fuselage options in one place? The "information" is about the differences between them without going into the theory of relativity and creating confusion.
Thank you for the video. Great to see all 3 sizes!
Thanks!! Great video!!
Glad you liked it!
Would be nice to know seating and cargo capacity. Kinda important to know on a plane...
They are all four seaters. The E and J have about 1000 Lb useful loads and the Bravo is about 1200 lbs.
Big fan of your channel here.
Im considering a 201 Mooney. Never flown one but the numbers seem right. Any advice? Also, given the fact that Mooney manufacturer no longer in Business, will I be able to get spare parts?
The 201 is the best of the old small Mooneys and the best of the new big engined Mooneys all in one. All parts are available. Lycoming engine, McCauley or Hartzell prop. Huge aftermarket support. Remember Cessna stopped making singles in 1986 for 10 years with no plans to restart. All the other companies have been in an d out of bankruptcy too. Get a 201. An MSE 1987 to 1997 if you can afford it. (Rounded windows)
@@skywagonuniversity5023many thanks ❤
Dang you got three.can i have one.cmon man please hahaha
OK, just one. The small one.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 hahaha i will take the skidding nose gear contraption thx Skyway
1:16 The next step up in Length from the C is the J, which is as long as the F and G? So the next step up from the C is the F...
What it actually is, is the C stretched is a G with 50 gallons and 180 HP. If you stretch an E, you get an F with 200 HP, injected and 65 gallons. The F and the G are the same length as a J (or 201) The J is a factory lopresti assisted aerodynamically more efficient F. The K is a Turbo J with a Continental six in it. So the shorts are the C and E. Mediums are G, F, J and K and the logs bodies are the Ovations and Bravos and Acclaims etc.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 I know. I own a F. I wanted to point out, that the next step up in length from a C is NOT a J.
@@streptokokke1003 I did not say that a J is the next step up in engine spec or performance from a C. A J however IS the next step up from a C in length. A F also is the same length, a G is also the same length, a K is also the same length. They all have a 9 inch stretch in the area of the rear passengers feet. I have owned them all.
How did you get those on a road
I could come up with a cunning story about short field landings but the truth of it is that it is just a scenic access road to the East end hangars that have never been built. The runway is out of sight on the top of that bank. Up the road to the top, hang a right and you are on the runway.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 that’s pretty cool
Are Mooney back for good?
You never know. Just like a lot of aircraft manufacturers, they open and close and change hands. This is about the 6th time for Mooney in their history.
And not a bad looking plane in the lot.
One for every mission .
Indeed! And, it looks like Mooney is going back into production after a short hibernation.
Mooney - So fast, you won't notice how uncomfortable it is!!
Come on, they are not that bad.
Like boats with wings
