    Airframe Notes
    Any concerns about wooden wings? When you locate a dry one that is properly maintained, wood is many times stronger than steel per pound. I'm an engineer who has worked with everything from minimum spec wood to pre-preg carbon and the highest compressive pultrusions. Properly designed & maintained wood in the right places gives greater purchasing value than metal. Faster, better climb, higher ceiling, softer ride, consistently better stall/spin characteristics. Please read this cogent piece, which is very accurate: http://www.mooneypilots.com/woodwing.html As a buyer, you MUST hangar and have the wood inspected annually in order to keep it in the dry condition it is in. Its that simple, and your A&P can learn the proper inspection steps which have averaged 1-2 hours per annual. I will not sell this airplane to anyone who does not plan to keep it hangared.

    Full metal tail with modern 201/231 style fin. Completely eliminates any fishtailing in turbulence normally associated with this body style, making for a rock-solid instrument platform. This is the only M-20A I know of with the full metal tail and fin- making it a total package. Flap & Aileron Seals. Aux Tank gives excellent range.
