I have a real Mooney M20 E and so am considering buying the R for FS2020. I haven’t tried the sim version so maybe it is a glitch but I can confirm trim in Mooneys is VERY sensitive. Also, you have to be perfect on your approach speeds or you will float all the way down the runway. For the M20E I use 90 mph (80knots) on final, over the paint or runway made i pull it back to 80 mph (70 knots). Also in real life you have to let the plane decide when it wants to land, hold it off as long as possible. I usually use half flaps as full flaps tend to cause it to slam down when it decides it doesn’t want to fly anymore. On takeoff, the E really likes to pitch up due to the horsepower, you have to pitch down or trim down right at Vr when you break ground. Mooneys just love to fly once they decide they’re ready to (and stop flying when they’re done). Runway overruns due to the floating is a common problems in real life lol fyi. Also with high DA and weight you’ll have trouble taking off from under 1500 ft runways. I don’t use anything under 3000ft in summer if I’m at max gross in the E.
