Mooney M20J (1976) 200BHP TIPS & HINTS

I have started endorsement training in a Mooney M20J at Bankstown and was wondering what hints and tips and experience Mooney drivers could share with me?

I have flown several hours in a Piper Arrow II, but still find the Mooney tricky with approaches, landing (slippery with the nose wheel compared to other aircraft if you do not keep you feet on the rudder firmly) and take off’s. It is not the easiest aircraft to slow down either compared with the Arrow. The main thing is really staying a head of the aircraft.

If you could share the various MAP & RPM settings you use, including approach, in the circuit etc.

Thanks
