Aircraft description
MUST SELL IMMEDIATELY. Reduced - firm.
In a word, the Mooney M20K 231 is 'fast'! It was designated '231' because that's how fast (in MPH)! Turbo-charged at 210HP with a wider wingspan and other improvements, it provided significant profits for the company, after it had closed earlier that decade.
This striking M20K offers mid-range engine hours, plus a host of features and extras. It held a speed record in the USA (coast to coast) for 7 years, with a number of mods fitted to provide performance close to the '252'. For a history of the aircraft, and specifications, please check the 'logbooks download' section of this listing.
The engine is fitted with ECI Cerminil cylinders, a Merlyn Black Magic controller, upgraded turbo and Turbo Plus Intercooler. The airframe offers recently sealed fuel tanks, LED Navs and Strobes and LED Interior lights. Insider the cockpit, the only original avionics are the VHF Comms. There's also a Vernier throttle and cowl flaps. In the cabin, the aircraft features a 2-place Mountain High oxygen with Pulse-Demand" Electronic Delivery System and Kevlar Composite Cylinder.
