Arrow IV Guy and the Mooney M20 C
Correct me if I am wrong but the C was a Ranger? I used to fly a C with the Johnson Bar Gear Lever. Was a lot of fun and a great simple and fast aircraft. I have about 50 hrs in C,E's,and F,s I seem to recall the E's had that kind of Lever for sure. Loved to play now you see it now you don't with the gear but woah baby you better get them stowed before reaching 85 MPH or you needed to be Swarzenegger. I really looked hard at a Mooney again as I had over 60 hours in them but alas they just don't fit me too well at my fat boy weight. But every Time I fly into Kerrville and see that now closed Mooney Factory just sitting there I think. If Only I was a hundred pounds skinnier... Certainly The older C's & E's were much better at hauling people that weren't twigs than the 252's etc. Have a good day, you have a great plane.
