Beautiful plane. Mooneys are awesome
Grat video.. Just a correctionthough. The engine is not the same as the one in the new C172. The Mooney has angle valve cylinders and single shaft driving the dual magnetos. The C172 is parallel valve and individual magnetos.
Always great videos from you guys! I enjoy the instrument flight videos as well.
Nicely done! Excellent video!
Another great video. Those planes are truly a ton of fun. Awesome job demonstrating the use of the automation and reducing your workload. That’s definitely a sweet avionics package.
Sweet! Thank you!
This is a great video and representation of the Mooney! I just purchased a Mooney M20J and love it! I started a KZhead video where I use my Mooney to repossess vehicle across the country.
Thanks - I’ll check it out.
Another excellent video Rich! I have a couple friends with nice avionics in their Cessnas with older autopilots and this was a nice demo of why to upgrade to the Garmin as you so masterfully have shown. Thanks👍
They are great airplanes. Actually get somewhere quick on not much gas.
Yeah, but at 230lbs, they are awful tight for my fat ass. Bonanza all the way for me!
@@mamulcahy yep, I’m right with you there…
Thank for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video thank you! Loved being taken through the approach…😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding
Love Mooney`s
Thanks for the ride along Rich. I really enjoyed it. You're a great Pilot.
Thank you!
great to see you flying again...john from san diego...
Terrific video Rich, great profile demonstration. Sweet airplane.
Thank you!
My friend has a M20 and I love the feel of the controls compared to 172/182s. I love my Cessna but, the Mooney's controls have a tight feel with very little input on yoke to make the plane do what you want. Thanks for details on IFR approach. Another friend just updated his 172 with same autopilot, G5's, transponder and audio panel but, he got the 750xi which is very nice.
I always love your videos, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Sweet video Rich! Always learn a little something from your super cool videos! Thank you
Thank you!
Looks great
Nice little airplane and a good price too.
very cool airplane and very nice upgrades
Awesome!
Rich, outstanding is the word. Genius at work. I got so much respect for you man, you are a God of aviation… God bless you
Thank you!
Great demonstration of the avionics and autopilot Rich. Hopefully the sunny skies you all are used to out there return soon 😉.
Thanks - we need the rain and I really like the rainy weather once in a while!
Great job Rich, that is the nicest Mooney I have seen in a long time....I am in the market for a Bonanza but that is a tempting one...
It’s a nice one for sure!
Great Video Rich!
Thank you!
Thanks Rich, great demo! I've always liked Mooney's. I always liked the story of Socata/Daher getting the rights to the Mooney 301 prototype, adding the PT6 and making the TBM 700! Even the name, "TarBes (France) Mooney" for the TBM is cool. Every time I see an old Mooney I think of that LOL. Hope your weather gets better there!! 8) --gary
Very cool lineage for the TBMooney!Thanks for watching!
Very impressed with your knowledge and skillset. Awesome videos. Thanks.
Thank you!
Very nice Mooney...Great instrument approach...
Thank you!
Nice job! You make look so easy. I had a similar M20. Really miss it now.
Thank you. Such great airplanes to fly!
Great airplane!!! Great video
Thank you!
Good job. Thanks 👍
Thank you too!
Mooney is also magnifical plane !
👍🏻😎Mooney's are my favorite single engine aircraft.
I have always loved flying the Mooney’s!
awesome video as always, please keep them coming. I have a 1975 c177rg with the powerflow exhaust mod. Not sure if you have flown one of these w/ this mod; but i'm seeing tas of 151/152 kts on 12 gph rop; 145 kts 10 gph, and 140 kts 9 gph lop; I always hear how efficient the mooneys are, and I love their lines and lineage, but i think the cardinal rg from cessna is a contender with them and are more spacious. Interested to hear your thoughts, always amazed how you stay so proficient in multiple different airframes, you are the man at flying!
I have flown the Cardinals but not much - interesting numbers you show. If you are ever out in Socal with your Cardinal, let me know - thanks for watching!
Like a Pro
nice :)
They have a wing design taken from the ol'e P-51 Mustang, another slippry plane.
I like watching these and saying what price I think is fair before you say it. The price almost always ends up much higher than I think is reasonable, but on this Mooney I decided that anything below 250k would be reasonable. Glad to see a cool plane being sold for a fair price.
Thanks for identifying a fair price for us!
Making the ifr look so easy Rich........i guess it s just practice happy new year
Happy New Year!
happy new year.....
Happy new year!
MSE is Mooney Special Edition… Often indicating that every option possible was included. This particular aircraft has been updated nicely. If unsure… look at the badge on the yoke… 😃
Thanks!
Dual Altimeters?
Hey Rich, you have an RV-8 in your intro, is that video available? Can't find it.
I never put one out. It’s my brother’s airplane and I flew it to him from CA to KS but didn’t get a video out.
@@FlyingwithRich I'm building one right now, would love to see a video on that! Thanks for the reply!!
Impressive airplane! Really enjoyed flying it.
👍
Hey rich! hate to be the keyboard pilot but little fast on the flaps. White arc starts at @ 112KIAS in the M20J.
Thanks. If you hate to be a keyboard pilot, then why are you one?
Sir, is this airplane on sale?
Sold.
Capo!!!! Wonderful !!! 🧿🧿👌🏼👌🏼🙋♂🙋♂✈✈I have it in fly simulator 2020 !!! It is beautiful !!!!🦾🦾
The cabin looks bigger than I expected. I thought Mooneys were narrow and cramped and that’s how they got their speed. Apparently not. Looks almost Bonanza sized. I’ll add these to my list of possible planes. Thanks for video!
Thank you!
Ok the question is would u rather fly the Mooney or a bonanza? Price , comfort, speed compare them
Man that’s a tough question - I have such a hard time answering those. If I was taking more passengers, Bonanza but if mostly me and one other person, Mooney.
HI RICH
