AIRCRAFT LISTINGS:
#1 - 1978 Mooney N246BB - M203J 201
Single Engine - For Sale ($105,000)
Purchased because last owner landed at night and missed the taxiway. He hit the prop with the taxiway light. No other damage.
We performed a prop strike inspection , installed a newly overhaul prop and flew it home. The engine was returned to service with
respect to FAA AD 2004-10-14, which constitutes inspecting the crank shaft drive gear.
This is not a complete tear down
Good paint and interior done in 2005
Garmin 430 W Avidyne transponder with ADSB out. Century auto plot, Garmin GMA 340 switching panel, backup nav\com and GPS
The unusual thing about this aircraft is it has a TKS weeping wing and tail assembly. The prop has alcohol as does the windshield.
This was a $30k mod.
We have all the log books and have not found any corrosion. The annual is good until March 2025
#2 - 1964 Mooney N6971U - 200HP M20E 331
Single Engine - For Sale ($44500.00)
This little 200 hp Mooney M 20 E was purchased by our shop from a gentleman in Texas.
Things got kind of busy in the cockpit and he forgot the landing gear.
We removed the old prop, dial the crankshaft, and installed a ferry prop. Flew the airplane back to Morristown, Tennessee, and performed the repairs.
The accessory case was removed from the back of the engine, the drive gear inspected, and the bolt and clip that holds it in place was replaced.
Then the engine was reassembled using new hardware.
This is what Lycoming requires in order to comply with air awareness directive 2004 –10– 14.
We replaced several belly skins and two stringers, as well as the no ski doors.
We have completed an annual inspection on the Aircraft and it’s ready to go.
