Description
An M20J priced like an M20C. Fly it now, upgrade it as you go. A great chance to get an 80's M20J for a good price. Note, I do not have logs on the plane at this time. The aircraft is located in New York.
Modifications
LED Landing Light, Hoskins FT-101 Fuel Totalizer.
Avionics
The aircraft is mostly original equipment with the exception of a Garmin GNS-430 (non-WAAS). It would be a great candidate for an Avidyne IFD-440 slide in replacement. Stratus Appereo ADS-B Transponder. Century 41 Autopilot with Altitude Hold and Glide Slope Coupling. Owner reports autopilot fully functional. Century NSD-360 HSI.
