Annuals have usually run $750.

Optional aux tank gives 49 total gal. & 1000 mile-plus range at economy cruise of 47% & 150 mph. Upgraded with flap and aileron seals, modern 201/231 style metal tail and paint scheme. Paint and interior are average for this age and model but mechanically excellent and no problems.

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:

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.

Modifications/Conversions
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.
