one of my good friends back the the early 90's lusted after a Mooney. what he thought was so great about the plane was you could fly at full throttle for very little difference in fuel consumption from half throttle and it had one of the best wing structures of a light private plane. one drawback he did say was being a low wing plane you didn't get the same view as a high wing like a Cessna 182.
