Hey if it's one thing I don't really like on the Mooney it's the wet tank. WTF ??
That is just asking for problems. It's an expensive and nasty work, re-sealing those mooney tanks !!
About the numbers Mooney sold.. what can I say. They deserve much better ofcorse, they are much better planes than Cirrus. Cirrus ends up at the lowest bottom of my score on all points. People who know aviation tend not to be the big buyers out there. It's the people with the big (credit) wallet and almost no aviation expierence who are buying planes, and Cirrus eye catching hiding the facts marketing is working on them.
