1984 Mooney M20K 231 for sale

I haven't had any issues with cruise speed being lower than I expect.
Then again, I never owned the plane with a 2 bladed prop, but I cruise
as fast as my friend's 231 with a 2 bladed prop at the same MP.

How long have you owned it?

5 years (bought it 11/00)

What are some specs on a 1984 Mooney M20K?
Speed in cruise, Fuel burn, Useful load, etc. Curious.

I flight plan for 165. Realistically achieve it on 95% of all flights.
This is at 70% power. Fuel burn is 12.5 ROP, 9.5 LOP. Useful load is
943 lbs.

Asking $149,000, negotiable.

Not ashamed at all:

Full information about the aircraft and tons of pictures are available
at http://www.madness.net/n57568/ (make sure to click through to the
additional pictures, there are 50 of them). My asking price is
$149,000, with all ADs complied with and airworthy items fixed (if
any), delivered, if you want, to your location (negotiable) from mine,
which is ISP, in NY.

It has had over $40,000 in avionics put in since I've owned it, and has
had excellent maintenance (overhauled propeller, overhauled oxygen
system, overhauled HSI, overhauled AI, overhauled boost pump,
calibrated autopilot, new landing gear shock disks and many other new
or overhauled items). Last annual was in TX at Don Maxwell Aviation,
one of the best Mooney shops around.

Any questions after viewing the photos and specs should be directed to
me by email please. The aircraft's useful load is 943 lbs. It has long
range tanks, so if you fill the tanks you can fly for nearly 1600nm.

Any temp. LOP the fuel flow vrs temp is a straight line. ROP it's a
curve.

I can't understand your second question.

Matt, you said "Let's see: % of HP = GPH * 14.9, so figure what the power
level. "

Deakin says
"Multiplying the fuel flow (18.0 GPH) by 14.9 (the constant for this
engine), we know this is 268 HP, or a whopping 89%."

It's HP=GPH*14.9
Not % of HP = GPH * 14.9

And that relationship holds LOP ONLY!

Argue with Deakin, not me.

268 of 285 = 89%
