I just bought a 1981 231 and your video was extremely helpful. I watched it twice before I went to FL to pick it up and bring it back home to NC. Thank you very much!
I've never been a big Mooney fan. I have a Grumman TIger. But the more I see of Arnaldo's plane, I'm changing my mind. That's a really nice cross country plane.
Wolficorn I was never really a fan before because of the looks and based on what people had told me about the tight cockpit. Then I got a ton of time and took two check rides in a 1983 J model. Now I am a big fan of Mooney’s. Moral of the story: don’t develop a strong opinion of an aircraft until you get some time in it!
@@Aviation101 yeah I've flown in a Mooney Statesman and it was a little cramped. Arnaldo's looks relatively roomy. Can't argue with their speed/economy ratio. BTW, check out my youtube channel if you want to see some of my flying vids. I just got back from Monument Valley yesterday and will have a video for that whenever I get the time.
In behind the rear seats at the top is a little alcove put there so you can store your Cowboy Hat, because Mooney was built in Texas at Kerrville. I had a 66 M20E for a short time. Great Video very well done.
Hope to see Arnaldo around Kissimmee sometime soon. I plan to buy my first plane soon after my checkride in 2 weeks and park it there at Kissimmee. Maybe one day i'll meet up with him and get to check out that sweet Mooney!!
Great informational video . I like the way you explained all of the instrumentation and how they function. Arnaldo seems pretty well up to speed on the operation of the Mooney. It is extremely reassuring to have a CFI in the right seat when you are learning to fly a new airplane. Great job as always in making your videos Josh!
Outstanding cockpit tour. I've never been in a Mooney, having only flown a C172 but I'm impressed with your knowledge and expertise. I learned something today !
Just made my first order. Can't believe it took me so long but figured it was time to start sporting some of my favorite aviation RUclips enthusiasts!!! And you were probably my number one inspiration for me starting my channel. Another great video. Keep up the excellent work. See you around friend.
Great video josh, i liked where you talked about the CDT and TIT, just finished A&P school and gonna take my o&ps so that helped me get refreshed on that.
I wish I had this young man teach me when I got my instrument rating in 1972, if not that be with me on my 6 month reviews and IFR trading, love the calm instructions .
With the gear indicator the one on the floor is final say as to if the gear is down or not. A Mooney gear system is all connected linkages and that floor indicator is just a metal tab connected to that linkage and a light bulb behind it. So your micro switch may stick or whatever but if the floor indicator says the gear is down, it's down.
Great video. A c172 is the only plane I have ever flown at this point. It is nice to see what other planes are like. thanks for taking the time to do the video.
Excellent video I so enjoyed the mooney panel tour and the turbo function complete with graphics makes for easy visualization thank you both. Regards,Steve B
I agree as well. I would like to hear more about some of the pros and cons of the Mooney. I follow probably all the aviation channels and many of you have opportunities to fly several different birds and it would be cool to see some videos that are sort of review orientated with a real world mission capable break down. I am looking at buying my first airplane and I keep coming back to the Piper Comanche 250 or 260 for it's relative speed and useful load and I plan to fly a Comanche before I buy one but the chances of me flying other contenders is slim. Videos that allow us commoners to experience the cockpit of different airplanes with out the fuel bill would be both helpful and interesting. Good video Josh!
You have given me much more information than I needed, against my will. Things have sure changed since the basic 172, or the A-1 Skyraider I used to fly. Great video, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I officially don't understand everything I know. LOL
I once saw a pilot fly a bonanza that had not flown one in a very long time. Before takeoff, he followed the "lycoming" fuel pump procedure, and turned it on. The bonanza was equipped with a continental engine, and during takeoff the engine was running so rich that it died. Fortunately, the bonanza never left the ground. The pilot proceeded to restart the engine and taxi back to the FBO. He said something was wrong with the engine. Long story short, I read on the panel that the pump should NOT be used for takeoff. This was new to me as I am only a low time pilot who has only had lycoming experience. It was a nonevent, however, it's a memory that I will always have as a reminder to assume nothing in the cockpit. Imagine how much of a complication it could have been if the engine decided to quit 500 feet in the air.
Afternoon Josh As always a supper job! I just had a great idea for a great series that you might start, visiting different aircraft manufacturers facility. In fact, you could start with Mooney just because it just down the road a bit. Besides it would give you a lot of reason to fly. Later Ric Houston/San Francisco
What a great video! I don’t know about everyone else but I would love to see a video on how you film your flights,mounting cameras, recording cockpit audio and editing!
Great information and very interesting ! Great job explaining everything Josh. Nice to see comparisons of various aircraft cockpits, so more would be great. Safe skies guys !
12:00 You guys just past by KHEZ. I was there today, it's a really nice airport with great FBO service. If you ever decide to go there which I recommend, there is an awesome restaurant called Magnolia Grill. They have all kinds of seafood for reasonable prices. You can get a courtesy car, or a 20 dollar cab ride which is only a 15-20 minute drive.
First viewer. Awesome videos Josh. I’m working on my ppl. Thanks for the videos man. Truly inspiring me to keep going even through a medical issue making my medical challenging. Keep it up!
Slight correction on your video josh. When describing the turbo you are correct that the pressure of air increases and produces more power but it’s not due to the pressure increase. The increased power is due to the much higher concentration of available oxygen within the cylinder. The extra oxygen mixed with the fuel allows for a more rapid expansion after ignition which provides the additional power.
Love your videos Josh! Been watching you for years and I'm a little upset sitting in my dorm in Arizona, just itching to get back home to San Antonio and finish my PPL this summer!
Very informative! I’m looking at purchasing a Mooney 231K. I was curious about your leaning procedures for best economy and engine longevity. Mike Bush, he recommends lean of peak with fuel flow and manifold pressure being the primary sources of most economical performance.
I loved this video! I enjoy these in depth nitty gritty super detailed videos because I love seeing how things work. I'm also an avgeek so that helps a lot :)
Thanks for the tour, Josh! Is Arnaldo going to upgrade anything in the cockpit in the near future that you are aware of? Does he have plans for anything to be added or modified in the future? It's a fine looking aircraft, that Mooney!
Great explaining video, such a beautiful Monney, here in Chile there are like 5 of them in the entire country, they are like white unicorns wajaja ! Thanks for that video explaining the Turbocharger wonder ! Saludos
You talked about the ELT. Maybe you can do a video about the ELT. How it works and how it is used to find someone that needs help. The same radio frequency is used for aircraft, boats, hikers, and many others. The CAP, helps find the receiver in aircraft, ground vehicles, and on foot. The big change in the past years is the SARSAT! I lost count of on the number of SARSATs that are up now. Most of the satellites going up in the past about 20 years has the SARSAT pack on it. New ELT send information not just a tone. Some give the GPS of the ELT.
Can’t wait to own one of these beautiful aircraft one day! Thank you for the awesome video and keep it up! Hope to see you in the Austin airspace sometime soon!
Love the videos, I have been binge watching for the last couple days. I have a 1974 172M and was wondering what MP3 Bluetooth your using in your Cessna 172. I think it would work perfect for my 172. Thanks
Automotive Engine development engineer here: You did a fantastic on-the-spot description of the turbo system! Good job! :)
Russell Senior Sweeeet! 😎

Your a born teacher Josh
Mooney m20j and k are at the top of my list. Don’t think you fully understand how helpful this video was. Thanks for posting!
A mooney like this is my airplane goal right now. Thank you for the excellent tour!

Thanks very much. I learned a lot and appreciate the opportunity to.
Fantastic really comprehensive tour of the panel thank you
For me this was very informative. Thank you.
Great video. A c172 is the only plane I have ever flown at this point. It is nice to see what other planes are like. thanks for taking the time to do the video.
Great video and interesting explanations on Turbo Mooneys, thank you!
Thanks Josh. I'm looking at a Mooney for my next aeroplane purchase - your latest videos are very useful.
Excellent video I so enjoyed the mooney panel tour and the turbo function complete with graphics makes for easy visualization thank you both. Regards,Steve B
you left out the little chrome cover on your right arm rest - it dates the airplane - its an ashtray :)
Thanks! Never flown in a Mooney so seeing the details is great!
This is my favorite Aviation101 video!
that’s is a nice airplane the Mooney is a fast bird and your channel is ones of the best thanks for sharing
I agree as well. I would like to hear more about some of the pros and cons of the Mooney.

Thanks for the turbocharger explanation! That diagram really helped.

As always a supper job!

Nice tour of a nice aircraft. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos.
Amazing job!!! You are really committed to your audience!! I just love it! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
What a great video! I don’t know about everyone else but I would love to see a video on how you film your flights,mounting cameras, recording cockpit audio and editing!
Btw you don't need to hit the 1 when entering frequencies, last 4 digits does it, then hitting xfer puts it in active, one less button push.
This plane is so sweet
I wish everyone would do their cockpit tours as well as this one!
well done on the explanation about turbos!! being a car guy you were spot on!!
Great video! The Mooney is such a fantastic aircraft! =) Keep up the good work, it's always fun to watch your content!
Excellent explanation, thanks for the video.
Great video..!! Awesome tour of the Mooney.
Very informative Josh. Thanks for sharing with us.
Dude you are the reason i am starting my private pilot training soon.. See you up there sometime..
great tour
Thanks for the tour of this really nice plane. Enjoy!
Enjoyed the hell out of that video! Very cool. Now you and Renaldo need to do a Northern cross country with that plane!
I absolutly loved this video. I don't fly, but loved learning. I do fly RC planes., and yes, you can use some of what you learn here with RC planes.
Most informative video I have seen in a long time- hell of a good job! thanks!
Great tour....just bought a 1974 M20F. What a difference from my 1957 C 172..... thx
Very educational
I thought it was for the start, but with this tour I see he just got a awesome plane!!! A+!!! AP/Intercooler upgrades in the future? Maybe??? 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Looks like a great plane
Beautiful plane.
For an informal tour you really touched on it all. Great vid, thanks!!
Nice video Josh!
Such a beautiful plane! Thanks for the explanation of the instruments, keep doing videos like this!!!! Love the Garmin!!
Great information and very interesting ! Great job explaining everything Josh. Nice to see comparisons of various aircraft cockpits, so more would be great. Safe skies guys !
Arnaldold's hoodie makes me slightly patriotic. Greetings from Sweden!
Heja Sverige..
Enjoyed the tour. Love your videos.

Really enjoyed this. Thanks. Would appreciate more like this
This video taught me a lot! You should do one like this with your 172, Love your videos keep them up!
Thanks
That is one of the best videos ever, Thank You
Great job on the video. I am one, so I know: Your student is very lucky to have you as a CFII.
WOW thanks that was GREAT.....
Awesome video!
This is so cool because when I was 6 this was the same plane I flew, not same exact but same type, great video!!
Just like his other videos, thorough.
Very nice and informative video I learned a few things I didn't understand. Thank you !!!
Loved it, thanks Josh.
First viewer. Awesome videos Josh. I’m working on my ppl. Thanks for the videos man. Truly inspiring me to keep going even through a medical issue making my medical challenging. Keep it up!

Also, why are you pulling from one tank at a time rather than both at the same time?
This Mooney only has a Left, Right, and Off position on the fuel selector.
Bobby Patrick wow. I didn’t know that.
Love your video's. I watch every one of them.
Sweet plane!
Love your videos Josh! Been watching you for years and I'm a little upset sitting in my dorm in Arizona, just itching to get back home to San Antonio and finish my PPL this summer!
Very informative! I’m looking at purchasing a Mooney 231K. I was curious about your leaning procedures for best economy and engine longevity. Mike Bush, he recommends lean of peak with fuel flow and manifold pressure being the primary sources of most economical performance.
That's what I like Informal and Informative! I'm looking at Mooney very seriously, I mean why not? .... Anybody?
I loved this video! I enjoy these in depth nitty gritty super detailed videos because I love seeing how things work. I'm also an avgeek so that helps a lot :)
Great video thank you!
thanks great review.

I've been looking at buying one of these planes. It's in my flight simulator. Thanks for doing this video.
Very neat vid!
Great content..
Enjoyed the video, thank you
Good job! Loved it.
That was amazing, thanks
Love the videos, I have been binge watching for the last couple days. I have a 1974 172M and was wondering what MP3 Bluetooth your using in your Cessna 172. I think it would work perfect for my 172. Thanks
Great vid.
Thank you! Informative
My Favorite video.
I can’t understand why anyone would give this a thumbs downs. One of them wouldn’t be from LewDix Aviation would it? 😜
Love this video.
