The reference to a movie is from a line in The Green Berets, spoken by actor Jim Hutton. My only experience in a Mooney was about 20 hours getting a commercial in an M20J over 30 years ago. I didn't like them much. I felt they were more 'cramped' that other similar sized aircraft. "Simplicity"...

Thank you for proving my point. I don't much care about "speed per gallon". The plane should fit me, not me the plane. "I'm not a Marine. I believe in my comfort." (what movie?)

I guess I’ve been a bit nervous about Mooney’s, ever since that cult was started.

I got my commercial in a Mooney M20J in 1985. They seemed a bit cramped. I prefer Pipers.

I am considering buying a Piper Archer and was wondering who does better speed mods, LoPresti or Knots2U. Although I am a long time pilot, I have never owned an aircraft before and would appreciate some advice. Thanks. (the year of the Archer would be somewhere from 1975-1994)
