     I can complete this project for you, pick your paint, interior, and avionics. My partner moved to Las Vegas due to family crisis, and I do not have the where-with-all to complete this project on my own. So, here’s your opportunity! Here are all the details of this work-in-progress and a general history of this aircraft.

    This aircraft sustained wing damage when it ran off the runway on landing. It hit several objects. Both wing tips were damaged, the right more than the left. The right aileron was damaged but a replacement is included . The flaps were NOT damaged. Repairs are started on the wing: the right side skins and ribs have been replaced, but the top side has not been riveted. The left side two outboard skins are included but not yet installed. 

    The landing gear did NOT collapse. The spinner needs replacement as well as the Barron-type hub and one blade of the 3-blade prop. The tail fairing under the horizontal has light skin deformation, but not rib damage. The rudder, horizontal, and elevators are all undamaged. The lightly damaged cowling has been repaired. The forward edge of the main gear doors have slight bends and will be easily repaired.

AVIONICS: 

The airplane has a KING KNS-80 and KMA-24, S-Tec 30 autopilot, four place intercom, M800 digital clock/timer, Insight Gem 602 6 cylinder digital EGT/CHT scanner, Davtrol digital OAT 5 function indicator, and Electric pitch trim, are intact and in place. Other avionics were substandard for this aircraft and were removed by previous owner.

INTERIOR, PAINT AND GLASS:

The blue cloth interior and side panels are in very good condition. I had planned on installing a new leather interior. The paint is in great shape and can be used as is with touch up or the ship can be easily repainted before assembly for a customized, one-of-a-kind, personal transport. The glass is in excellent shape.

    I can complete this project easily - I am midway through as details indicate and am the best person to see this project to completion. Or, I can deliver this plane to you, or you can borrow my trailer (with a deposit down) to transport yourself.

    Here’s a little history on the model itself. 

    1980 Mooney “Missile,” M20J w/Rocket IO-550 Conversion Project. This aircraft started as a Mooney  M20J 201 and was modified by Rocket Engineering of Spokane, WA to be an Ovation-like 300 HP high performance screamer. The 200 HP Lycoming engine was upgraded with a 300 HP IO-550 Continental. The 12 V battery in the nose was upgraded with a 24 Volt that was relocated to the aft fuselage. The fuel tanks were upgraded to 102 gallons a bigger load than the Ovation.  Speed brakes were added for high-rate descent from altitude. Ovation-type extra gear doors were also added. 

 Complete logs.                        Aircraft is in Clearwater, FLA.                             727-565-9265

All repair work can be done here at substantial savings as we are halfway through this project.
