Unfortunately our Mooney community is so small that we don't have forums etc. as active as this one.

Why would that be??

Some people think I've misspelled it because I use "ea" instead of "it."[/quote]

I wouldn't go that far:-)
Our banker that loaned the $$ on my first Mooney was last named Moody.
So we called that airplane Mr. Moody. This one is known as Mr. Moody II

I don't much about Mooneys so I was just wondering if there is an aerodynamic reason for the shape of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers?

I did get a close up look at a relatively new Ovation(?) a few years ago and it was a very pretty and well put together airplane.

And just what are the 360 powered Mooney's air speeds at 65% power and LOP?

And as was said earlier, welcome aboard . . . :cheers:

155-160knots, 9 gph
I've got munroe tanks and about 970lbs useful load. That airplane will go forever, think 1800miles before needing to stop!

My old Mooney was a 83 201. It was a little slower than most others, partly due to the 3 blade prop instead of a 2 blade. I always figured 155 knots at 11.5gph ROP.

Next time you look at a Mooney, look at the front of the tail where it meets the fuselage. When you trim the H stabilizer, the entire tail moves. There is supposed to be some benefit to that.....seems like ?? Duh :-)

William, I rode the bicycle in Resaca today. Great roads but I didn't see Mrs. Resaca Beach anywhere.

You know Marla (Maples) Trump was a Mrs. Resaca Beach ? Worked out well for her :-)

Now that I think about it, the closest thing I saw to a beech was the muddy bank of a creek that they named a river haha.

Looking for my new Banana.....
