One of the biggest complaints Mooney has heard from its thousands of M20 customers is the lack of a left-side door. While adding a second door to a decades-old design is no easy feat, the company listened to the feedback. In February, Mooney announced the M20V Acclaim Ultra, which has a new composite skin to enclose the cabin’s protective chromoly-steel roll cage.
