N119C is from the estate of one-time WAMM member, Garry Gramman. Garry
founded Dynair Electronics and Radair, the company that manufactured its transponder. This is a
one-owner, modified 1949 M-18L. It has always been hangared. We have
complete logs and detailed documentation.
N119C was Mite of the Month
December 1999 and also has been featured in our article from
Custom Planes magazine, April 1999 and many other articles on the
Mooney Mite Site.
N119C’s annual was completed on 3-21-2006 and it’s in
immaculate, turn-key condition. It is offered at $24,000, spare engine not
included. The plane is hangared at Gillespie Field in El Cajon,
California, near San Diego.

- High gloss red and white paint
design
- Towbar
- Venturi, 4”
- Power attitude and directional indicators
- 15-1/2 gallon fuel tank
- Intake air filter: Ram-air control to by-pass filter
- Hot/cold mixing valve to control fresh air into cabin
- Mixture control
- Deluxe upholstery with arm rests
- 201-ized with gap seals, etc.
- Matching spray paint
- Several extra tires and tubes
- Has been in rain only one time since 1955

- TT on engine: 1471.10
- SMOH: 775.0
- Total time at most recent annual - 1471.10
- Compression test at most recent annual – (1) 78/80, (2) 78/80, (3)
77/80, (4) 79/80

2005
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE with 75 hp engine
- Altitude 9,500',
- Outside air temperature +10°C,
- Mixture 50°F below
peak EGT,
- RPM 2650,
- Indicated air speed 114 mph,
- True air speed 135 mph
- Higher cruise speed is only one benefit of the 75 hp conversion.
Another is in descending from high altitudes—typical in the West—under
power, even cruise power, without exceeding the engine red-line. The
practical limit is the Vne of 143 mph. This makes possible excellent
block-to-block time between airports.
- The engine is not subject to thermal shock if is under power while
descending, and the heater is not shut off if the engine is under
power.
- By using the same propeller as was used with 65 hp, the fuel
economy is generally not affected; it is usually about 3-1/2 gph.
