Mooney and insurance
The long-range tank mod for the Mooney costs $3,000 plus an estimated 60 hours of labor. Yikes. Fortunately, I'm an IA so can do and sign off the work myself. I've found a helper at a reasonable rate to do one side while I do the other, and we should have it wrapped in 2 - 3 weeks from start. Total of 88 gallons usable with max of 10gph consumption, and down around 8gph on longer legs.
There is what is described as a very nice 182 here being sold by the estate of a deceased fellow. Not being actively marketed. If you haven't bought yours yet and are interested I can check into it for you.
What's the hiccup on the insurance? Foreign ownership or just South America? I haven't checked into mine yet, but I'm going anyway.
What does "400 l/mn" mean? Does that mean minimum purchase is 400 litres? That's more than my airplane holds by a long shot.
