My (home town) mechanic doesn seem to like Mooneys much. Why?
Kind of like taking a Porsche or a Jag to a Chevy shop. Mooneys are built differently, there are fewer of them than Cessnas and Pipers, and they have steel fuselage tubes and push/pull control rods rather than cables. They are also admittedly more cramped to work on in the rear of the engine accessory case area where many mechanics (mag) inspection work takes place. To an experienced Mooney mechanic they do not present any problems, but most generic A&P’s would rather take the path of least resistance and work on more familiar aircraft. No one should ever touch the airframe portion of your M20 without a factory service manual and factory tools.
