I owned N39MG (1979 M20K turbo 231) from 1995 till 2010. We put 2000 hours on it. Here are some things we learned: - always full rich in the climb, fuel is the cheapest thing you’ll put in it - flew it at 65% power, leaned to about 1550 degrees on the turbo inlet temp, never lean of peak. We got over 2000 hours on our factory REMAN. - managed the fuel burn, take off on left tank, after 1 hour switch to right tank, 1 hour on right then back to left tank, burn down to low fuel light comes on at 8 gallons, burn 20 minutes more on left then switch to right for remainder of flight. - we started the turbo cool down in the pattern. We kept the prop speed low until we retarded the throttle. If you spin up the engine while taxing you need to restart the cool down clock. The turbo Mooney is a great with lots of speed and room to stretch out. We routinely made non-stop trips from Danbury CT to Jacksonville FL in 5 hours burning 55 gallons. Enjoy it. Regards, John

Hey Josh I just wanted to let you know that you change lives. I never REALLY knew I wanted to fly until I started watching your videos a few years back. I am 9 hours in to getting my ppl and I honestly couldn't be more excited to get those 1500 hours to fly commercial. I've never really been this happy in my life and I can't help but give you a lot of the credit. Thanks again man, you do fantastic work.:)

Josh, I'm really enjoying your new take on humor and that a good thing! Keep up the humor.

That look on his face at 21:16 when the gear warning goes off is priceless.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! An owner of several Mooneys, soloed in a Mooney in 9 hours..have all the ratings, but a true MOONIAC! GOOD FOR HIM, EXCELLENT DECISION! 😁🤗😍😎

Fantastic as usual!! When I went from a 172 to my friends '62 M20C, I would spend alot of time practicing slowing her down from cruise to the white arc, very slippery. And lots of practice with the Johnson Bar gear extension/retraction! With the pushrods, she did handle like like Ferrari! I miss her...And FFZ!

Nice Mooney Ronaldo. In any complex start singing ‘PUFF the magic dragon’ on finals! P prop, U undercarriage, F flap, F fuel. Enjoy your flying.

Great video Josh. Great shots skimming along the cloud tops. Even the refuelling shot with the meter ticking over put me into rhythm and mood of the scene. The whole video reminded me of previous adventures and even better ones to come.

Wow, from a 172 to a turbo Mooney! Man, he's living the dream!! Thanks again for a superb video.

Your video's are getting way better: great story telling: videography, narration, editing, and, best of all, self portrayal...plus, I'm thinking, "this guy is a pretty great instructor!"

Nice job guys. Looking out for part two.

Great video Josh. Keep them coming.

Wow! Great video man! I like your approach. Very professional and brief. Would study with you in a heartbeat! Best Regards!

Outstanding!

You've gotten so good with the whole production. Very high quality. Nice going Josh.

Congrats on the new plane! Looks great and I'm sure flies the same!

Josh, this video was great. Keep up the natural humor, ahaha. Really enjoyed this video. Ground and sky shots are amazing.

Great video, great plane, great flight, excellent piloting...

Nice work Josh, I enjoy your story telling style on these road trips. I have just watched some of your earlier postings again and the difference in quality, style and content is like night and day. Well done. Looking forward to the avionics upgrade episode!

Josh, your work keeps getting better. :)

Here in the Catskills we'd call that a heavy frost :) Those Margaritas though, wow!

Just wow. The visuals, quality of editing and the look and feel of videos is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

Great video Josh. Well filmed and nicely edited and I know from my flying channel here in the UK just how hard that can be. I enjoy all of your work and have done for a long time now but these trips make for excellent viewing.

Nice airplane and the GTN750 is an amazing bit of kit.

This is my favorite of all time and I have watched since the beginning. This one has personality and that is what keeps me coming back. Thanks for sharing.

Great video guys , well done . keep it up , good luck with the mooney .

Your production is getting super slick. Enjoyed this as always. Good job

Really enjoyed

Very nice first landing in a Mooney! Speed control is key, great coaching Josh.

Also, yay, learned something! When I got my constant speed prop endorsement, I was only taught to cycle the prop three times (if it was cold enough to warrant making sure the oil was flowing) and watch the drop in RPM. Going to add the "check oil leak" - "check RPM" - "check slight OP drop" to my personal procedures :) (In EASA world, a complex aircraft is something different, and we have separate endorsements for things such as a constant speed prop, glass cockpit, retractable landing gear, (turbo) charged engine etc.)

What a great video. Josh your a hoot in the cap.

Really cool to see you using your C.F.I. and videoing it along the way. I'm not sure what the market looks like for this kind of training, but you are the perfect fit for it! Thanks for the awesome production value as well!

Great to see a new MOONEY owner!!!!!!! Get him on Mooney Space!

Best of Luck Arnaldo with your new plane, it's a keeper 4Sure .

Great video.I fly into Del Airpark occasionally from Millville NJ,KMIV.

Wonderful video! It’s nice to see the lighter side of things, but also keeping things serious too. What a beautiful Mooney! Gorgeous!

I'm a big fan Mr aviation 101 I've been watching u for 2 years

Josh, your videos are a treat!

Well done excellent video

Very nice upgrade. Enjoy her..

Great video! Nice to see you flying into my home turf, BWI airport!

Great video Josh. I love your instruction demeanor and new video format. Keep up the great work as instructor and videographer/storyteller. Can't wait for part 2. You help so many, including me, to be persistent on the path to the PPL.

Moving up in the world, Arnaldo!

Great educational video

Josh and Reynaldo; I love this video and can't wait for part 2. The hat is super; quite smart: you should keep it as a new trademark with your logo.

great video. intresting. thnaks.

Nice to get back to basics. Refreshing in different plane too. Congrats Ronaldo on the purchase!

Great job dude, the filming, the audio quality, the music choice, the editing....killlling it!

Gotta love a Mooney. One of my favourite things about the low stance is that you can actually feel the ground effect through the yoke - once you get used to that, never make a 'flat' landing again, even at unfamiliar airports or in unusual lighting/visibility.

I'm loving these vids. I fly the mooney on a home simulator and these vids help me do it properly. It's great

heck yeah thanks for the series
