I think a single video is a better format especially if both videos are published at the same exact time. Beautiful plane, great video. Dana sounds like a chill dude. Whens the merch store coming? I want an official Skywagon plaid shirt.
Magnificent beast. My light aircraft experience is limited to a B36 Bonanza in a flight from Melbourne to a tiny outback town called Pooncarie in NSW Australia. It was 40° C up there.
Two or one video is fine for me both. If you continue the two video format, I'd love to see a more cruise performance/handling part in the flying video. Great content as always, greetings from a 206 pilot in Belgium!
This! I always hunger for more flying in almost all of your videos Mark, because around the pattern doesn't tell enough of the story. For most of these great planes you talk about, a run around the patch doesn't show what they are built for. I do respect that these are other people's airplanes, however.
I own a '69C and love it. It will make mid to high 140kt TAS on between 10 and 11 gph. It's had mods to cleanup the airframe and it will actually make book numbers. Just went into annual yesterday.
Watched both video's , awesome details - Thanks Mark / in the late 1960s- 68-69 maybe - my Father sold his 182 * that was under powered- lousy radio's / badly faded paint & wanted a Mooney badly / however he let the family vote on it - as little kids we couldn't see well because of the low wings , ended up with another 182 - had a 200 hp Franklin engine - pitch prop nice paint -we all loved it - but my favorite plane to fly on Flight Simulator is the Mooney !
Nice. I had a 1989 based in Texas and easily handled east and west coast travel. Fast, relatively comfortable, and pretty much bulletproof. Served me well. Don’t know how new avgas will work though. No longer flying.
Nice review. Well done, as always. I agree with Saml01 about the single video format. Since you are making the videos, I'm appreciative of whatever you drop on UA-cam.
Mark i sure you do a video on that Skycatcher you have listed. I Purchased one in 2015. Only had 94 hours on it then when I sold it in 2021 I had 850 hours on it. Loved that little plane. Although they are a little floaty in ground effect they are great little run around planes. Super efficient on fuel and pretty sporty, I’ll call it the SS super sport version of the Cessna 152, at 172 speeds. They got a bad rap from being assembled in China but 90% of the crap we have is assembled in China.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 Perfect. Can’t wait I was actually going to come in a few months ago if you ever get a “fly catcher” in be sure and take it for a spin. The only complaint I had was the airflow inside. Those little Wentz have the air flow of a McDonald’s straw.!! I took it to Conroe Texas, which is about an hour south of me and head twisties put in the side windows
Single is good, but 2 videos is better if the flight includes a performance run showing power settings and fuel burn for high speed cruise…great work! Love your vids either way 😊
Stunning aeroplane, such a fast, long legged single engine machine 👍✌️💜 Thanks for sharing. If doing a go around, would one have retracted the speed brakes after the second stage of flaps, or if one goes to take off flap setting (after Eg 2-3 stages) are the speed brakes linked and thus retract for a go around 🤔🤔
Speed brakes are totally manual. It would go around with them out of you had to but retracting them as it lands is the best idea if you used them at all.
I have no preference between the one or two part video. I'll watch them both. One comment, if you decide to keep the separate video format, it might be interesting to see some more flying content than just the pattern. Maybe MCA, stall break, Vx, Vy, etc.
I figured mooney just likes 80mph (70kts) when crossing the threshold. Any other number it won't land beautiful. Too fast, it floats, too slow, it slaps on the ground
I would prefer one video. Makes it a little easier to watch. Beautiful plane. Wow!
I’d like to see the TAS at say 16,000. I wish you did performance runs on the airplanes you review

Another awesome vid, Mark! These always make my day. Cheers!

Go high, go fast, get cooler.
ouch
I prefer the two part videos. Thanks very much for the informative videos. Much appreciated.
I vote for one video. Enjoy your channel, so much useful information! I’m ready to sell planes now 😂
Awesome! Thank you!

Great video and beautiful aircraft. Love Mooney's.
Glad you enjoyed it
LOVE the guages on the screen! You do a great job of these reviews.
Thanks, MsLisaN! Glad you like what we do!

Those are great planes.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 The valuation on the used market is puzzling when compared to Cessnas and Pipers of the same vintage. Prices seem low.
I like the single video format. Thanks for great videos 🇨🇦
Glad you like them!

That's a good Dad letting the kids choose a plane.

Thanks. Some will be one and others will be two.
Great video. I have a 1989 M20M TLS Bravo, make monthly flights ftom Tucson to New Orleans. 17,500 32/2400 21 GPH CHT 385 TIT 1585. Love my Mooney
What speed did you get at that height and power settings.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 230 kts over the ground
@affricate ... I will repeat Mark's question... what speed do you regularly get at those settings?
It seems like a great airplane for that mission !!
@@flyerjack1548 in excess of 216 kts gs

I’m kinda fond of the flying format in videos on Flying With Rich. One gets to see the cruise performance while he flies.
Hi Mark
thanks Again
Cheers David
Thanks.
Nice work Mark.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff thanks for all these great videos greatly appreciated.
Love the Mooneys
Me too.
Yes, like the two part format. Works for me! The order in which you publish them will have some effect on the number of views.
Prefer one video. Great content!
We'll split them up if they get too long, or keep them together when possible. Thanks for watching!
Mark i sure you do a video on that Skycatcher you have listed.

Excellent timing. We just did the Skycatcher. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with how nice it was in every way. It's be out a day or so.

I'll do one if it is a short flight and two if I am able to do a longer flight. The flight is up to the owner of the plane.

I fly them as much as I am allowed by owners/insurance etc.
Absolutly 2 Part vid is great I always think that the usual fly around is too short 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
I like your videos either way.
Single video seems better to me. But if you’re going to separate them, maybe you can have the flight be a little more than a lap around the pattern.
HEEEEELLLLL yeah I was hoping for a Bravo video!
Single video format plz
Head room looks very tight
It's OK.
Appreciate all your vids Mark.
Is the door open? 4:07 it seems like a can see the sky next to the door in the roof.
You should not have seen that, but yes, the top did not latch. I carried on anyway.
Love the detail of this video, thanks. What a great airstrip, were is that?
Placerville, California.
I would have been curious to see the stall characteristics.
It's like all Mooneys, a bit of a buffet and a gentle wing drop.
One video on one airplane, please.
👏👏👏

Yes, varies with model and weight but very true.
Your door was open in flight.
I saw that but carried on.
Prefer the long format videos, Mark.
Faster options... Lancair?
For practical day to day use there is not much faster than a Bravo in Single engine land production.
sweeet ride if ua have the need and m😮ney
Yes it is.
