The Mooney M20F carries many 201 speed mods, including a single-piece belly, electric gear and flaps, a non-slaved HSI, and a Hartzell scimitar propeller. Recent improvements include a new audio panel with music and pilot/passenger isolation, an ADS-B out capable transponder, and an electronic starter system.
For economical operations the aircraft can be flown at 65% power, achieving 110kts on 6.5 gallons per hour — comparable to the operating cost of a Cessna 172.
