Lest you think the new Mooney M-10T/J aircraft models are a reintroduction of the old 1969 M-10 Cadet which was a single tail Aircoupe, the new designs are of sleek composite construction and more suggestive of a Lancair rather than the old aluminum Erco Ercoupe cum Forney Aircoupe cum Mooney A2-A Cadet twin tail (9 sold) cum M-10 Cadet single tail (38 sold). Whew, too long a sentence!
And with more power than the old Continental C-90-16F 90 hp of the Mooney predecessors, the new Continental Diesels promise more performance than most, if not all current two-place trainer aircraft. It will be of interest to see the 2017 price points of the hopefully-then ATC'd production aircraft.
The Chinese-built Cessna 162 Skycatcher proved to be a huge money loser to Cessna with the many unsold will NOT be sold, but serve as Cessna hangar queens to maintain the small sold fleet.
About Mooney's M-10T/J diesel-powered trainer models?-only sales price and time will tell.
