I personally prefer one longer video with both parts but I will definitely watch both videos if u continue to upload them this way. Keep up the class work.
Back in 2007 or so, I visited this airport (KPVF), and spoke with older gentleman that owned a business selling airplanes. He had a place in Alaska and mentioned selling the business to retire there with his younger wife. Hope he's doing well. Not sure if this is the same business that changed hands, or a new one altogether; but the videos are a nice touch. I really enjoy the comparisons done between the different years. You can always get specs or read little bits an pieces online; but the explanation in the videos is nice. I've been looking to buy or build in the next few years, and this helps steer the decision if I choose certified.
That was Joe Stancil in about 2007, yes. I worked for him for 17 years and he taught me everything I know about planes. In 2010 they did retire to Alaska and are still up there having a great time with cabins, float planes, ski-planes, salmon and halibut fishing, hunting and extremes of weather and daylight.
I vote to leave it together. RU-vid has a way of scrambling 2 part videos in the search, and I can't imagine who wouldn't want to see it fly. Thats my favorite part anyway.
I like the 2 videos idea. That way if I'm short on time I can watch 1 and come back ( which I will do ) and see the other 1. As always a great video. Thanks Mark.
Another great video. I appreciate all the little touches you're adding to enhance the experience (snappy intro, gauges during flight). Most of all I enjoy all the incredible details you know about every plane you present. Personally, I prefer the walk around and flight in one video.
Mike Busch loves it when people say shock cooling. You would never want to turn your engine off if shock cooling was a real thing. Nice detailed video. Loved my 201 and hope to be in a Bravo soon.
I was impressed with how well you know the models and somehow kept them straight. I like more information on planes so if it takes 2 videos to do it that would be my vote. Great channel
Hey Mark, thanks for showing the internet how to land any Mooney. We have owned 4. A M20a Wood Wing, F Executive, 201 and finally a 231. I also helped ferry an old Mooney Mustang Turbo across the Atlantic, it now lives in Malaga, Spain. There is no reason to land any Mooney fast or to ever float one. All the pilot has to do is fly the Mooney on the numbers, unfortunately, I have seen a lot of Civilian trained pilots who can not nail the speed and/or altitude in the pattern. As for the format of your videos. I like either.
Whatever helps you for the videos (do one one day and the flying the next day to keep engagement up). I do however prefer one single long format video.
Once again, very informative. I'm still waiting for my diploma from SWU. I prefer a longer talk and fly video rather than a two part. Thanks for educating us on so many different models of aircraft. Well done!!
Great summary in the beginning and a great video. Thank you! I personally prefer a single video together. If you ever get a chance to do a video on some of the Rocket Engineering conversions of these planes (Rockets and Missiles) that would be really cool.
Beautiful plane, your buddy's probably going to be getting a few calls, even thought it's not for sale! I should watch the flying video first, but if you're splitting them up would like to see more flying that a quick trip around the pattern, especially for a speedster like this one.
Thanks. On some where I know the owner well, we can do more flying, but generally the planes are here for a short time and I have to only go round the pattern.
Great presentation of the Mooney. This 'backward' vertical it is a kind of 'signature'' I would elect two separate videos. I hope A2A makes on for MSFS one day - though I this they would t' as they have never mentioned a Mooney
@@skywagonuniversity5023 A2A is the best GA add-on developer for MS Flight Sim. I don't believe they will create a Mooney (Bravo or other) for the sim as the have never mentioned as such. Also they create GA aiplanes they own.
Superb presentation as usual! I suppose if you split them then you could go a bit more in depth for each without potentially losing views because people think it's too long to watch.
I have a question Mr Skywagon, its in regards these pushrods for the control units. How many airframe do you know that use this system? Ie you mentioned on this video the Bravo uses these controls for its airframe, what other airframes use same system? I know Diamond has this but never knew Mooney had this also??? If you could possible name all that you know past or current airframes that have this ? Please and thanks! Great videos! Cheers Nico
Nico, I know for sure that ALL Mooney's have rods and no cables. They always have. 100% not sure which other planes do, but, Beech, Piper, Cessna etc are all cables.
Came over from the flight vid... Killer soundtrack! Personally, I like the longer format, but I won't complain either way. It's easy enough for me to click the link. I'll be watching all your videos either way! Any plans on doing a canard video soon? Last time I mentioned it you were planning on doing a Cozy. Is that still in the pipeline? Cheers!
Great job, love your videos. Manage your video times, so separate them for that reason only. I'll watch either way, but for some keeping things bite sized is better...
...and in the beginning, god said, let there be Mooney! NOT a fan of separate flight vid, UNLESS it's going to be consistently longer in duration. Otherwise, you know the drill...if it ain't broke don't fix it! (What say you, Don?)
Mooney...when you want to sit on the floor while flying! LOL No really, I have hundreds of hours in a M20C that my Dad owned when I was a teen. Huge soft spot for the type!
This Bravo owner had an Encore before the Bravo. Encore is a glorified 252. Encore is faster and hauls more weight more easily. Encore/252 is lighter and nimbler. Bravo is a tank.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 Wow, that's interesting. This begs the question, how does a 231 equipped with 360-L (intercooler and improved wastegate) compare? Thank you!
With the recent Mooney crash in Florida is it true what they say that it’s common for Mooney’s baggage door to come off during flight and also door to open?
It's not really common, but just like any plane, make sure that the pilot closes the doors. They fly very well with the door off or open, so the pilot must have panicked. Fly the plane first. Wind and noise is a distraction.
I like the split format. Works for me. Can you tell me what the current status is with Mooney. I see they are out of production then I see you can buy new.
OH man two Mooney videos in one day! Love Lycoming, prob the next logical step up from my M20F if I stay in the mooneysphere. Does this have the single input mag like the m20j and Saratoga's?
Don't forget the Mooney Mustang. I believe 36 were built. If memory serves me correctly it was the first pressurized single engine production plane built. I wonder if there's any left??
I thought I had. IO-360 at 200 HP Continental taken out of a Mooney M20K and a TSIO-520 NB from a Cessna 340 put in it's place at 305 HP along with all the other upgrades.
The Speed brakes started with the MSE 201 in 1987. Everything before that did not have them and everything after that with very few exceptions did have them. If you manage the speed correctly, you do not need them on anything.
So good that at the high RPMs that were needed out of the tiny Porsche displacement to get it moving that they were recalled and replaced with a 540 Lycoming of twice the displacement.
