One of the problems is that the apprentices aren’t being watched or work being reviewed by more experienced workers. I understand everyone starts from somewhere (I’m young myself) but they need to be observed and taught the correct way, taught to be careful, and taught how to do things correctly. No one is perfect right out of the gate. The experienced workers should be double checking their work. This shop at the time was extremely busy and I felt as though they were just pushing me through to get the job complete. I realize they were busy, but substituting quantity for quality is a huge mistake in any business. Now they lost me as a customer and probably many more as a result of my problems.

If only I could afford two haha. Will be looking for a nice Ovation pre G1000 in the next twelve months or so. Hopefully there's a nice one as nice as this 201 I owned.

It really was a pleasure to own and fly and to update! I did the avionics. The guy before me did the paint and interior. Hopefully I can find an Ovation just as nice as this airplane was to me.

I am not one to write reviews on companies unless I had a very exceptional experience or a downright horror story. Unfortunately, this review is a horror story and I caution anyone from even THINKING about taking their precious airplane to this shop. Many of you probably remember the electrical pulsing issue I was having in my J model last year. After replacing numerous items, the issue was traced to a cut wire that both ends were touching and arcing behind the panel with the vibration of the engine. Mechanic says it was a clean cut that someone had made. The problem began immediately after my avionics installation through Sporty's Cincinnati Avionics last July. Upon receiving my airplane after a $23k avionics job, the windshield was scratched, the overhead air vents were never reconnected, chipped paint on the wing where tools had been placed, cracked rear seat plastics, a green mark on the prop on only one blade, and a nose wheel strut that was covered and I mean covered in black grease. Not to mention handprints and finger prints all over the paint. To some degree, I expect a level of service and care for the aircraft commensurate to the amount of money that I am paying someone or company. In the shop's defense, they fixed those problems I just mentioned, after hearing exactly how I felt about them. Fast forward a month. I am preflighting the plane and notice that the newly installed antennas have the caulk separating between the fuselage and the antenna. Caulk from 1983 is still holding on the other antennas so there's no reason for two month old caulk to be separating already. Next, fast forward to a few weeks ago when I had an IFR cert done. My shop had to remove the Lynx transponder to check the connections on the back but couldn't remove it from the panel. They got it about halfway out and then it gets stuck. They get behind the panel with a light and camera and see that the transponder had been jammed in the panel, secured with a strap, and the rivets holding the rack in place where not blind flush rivets like they are supposed to be. They are rivets with protruding heads which had caught on the transponder and jammed. Not only that, but the shop found that the G5 initial setup settings were not calibrated correctly and it was not within tolerance. I am just astonished at the lack of proper procedures, lack of detail and care, and a lack of safety. I would NEVER even take the airplane back there because I DO NOT want them even touching the aircraft again. About a month after I had this work done last July, I heard from another airplane owner in a Cirrus that just had avionics installed and his entire center stack was sagging to one side when he landed after getting back from Cincinnati Avionics. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. Please protect your valuable airplanes and do yourself a favor and not use Cincinnati Avionics. Like I said, I do not usually write reviews but I feel it is necessary in this case since there were so many issues and problems, some that were safety concerns, that I do not want anyone else to have to deal with. Take your business elsewhere.

Not sure if he's on MooneySpace or not but I'll find out. It's going to near Duluth, MN.

Sure did

You win the prize of the day! My mechanic tonight, along with an electrical engineer, found the break in current between the alt field CB and the master switch. Replacing this wire completely fixed the pulsing issue and the alternator offline issue (according to the ops runup. Will find out for certain next time I fly it soon). This 16 gauge wire did not just break according to my mechanic. Since the problem began after I had the avionics installation done a few months ago, he believes the avionics shop is the culprit. Adding this to the list of other issues from this "shop", I would not hesitate for a second that it was caused by them (obviously not intentional, however, there is a level of detail and care that must be taken on these older airplanes. Carelessness has no room here).

I should have clarified..the CB never popped. I pulled it and reset it, which made the alternator come back online again. But I definitely agree with you not to do it more than once. Hopefully we get it figured out soon.

Update: The ammeter and voltage swinging has gotten worse and now the alternator kicks offline in flight. Resetting the field CB reset it. However, on the most recent flight, the alternator kicked offline and I was not able to get it back online at all. Even after landing and restart, still offline. I wish it was as easy as the VR. But that's new, the alternator is new, the master switch is new, everything is tight and cleaned. My mechanic is going to jump across the shunt. Will report back if that works.

That is EXACTLY what mine is doing. Along with the voltmeter on the jpi.

Which switch are you referring to? The master switch is the combined battery and alternator one. I can have my mechanic take a look again behind the panel there but he said he had verified everything was good.

The master switch is brand new so I would assume the terminals should be new as well?

It does it immediately upon engine start before I even turn the avionics master on. The only thing on at that point would be the G5 I think.

Good idea on both. The battery is a Concorde xc and is about 2.5 years old. It shows no sign of even starting to show diminished life. Could the battery be an issue?

Merry Christmas all! Over the summer I had a G5, Lynx xpdr, and a PMA450B audio panel put in. Soon after the installation, related or not, my ammeter and voltmeter started pulsing after engine startup until engine shutdown. The voltmeter would bounce from like 13.0 to 15.5 volts or so continuously. Flying at night, the lights dim and bright with the pulsing. It's definitely not an indication issue. My mechanic and I are stumped. We have put a new alternator, new voltage regulator, new master switch, new alternator 70A circuit breaker, new alternator field 5A circuit breaker. Nothing seems to help. And we have tried isolating everything in the cockpit regards to avionics and stuff and cannot isolate anything. Any ideas??? I've read on here something about a shunt past the ammeter. I'm not too familiar with it. Can anyone think of anything else to check or do or replace? A ground issue, which I'm afraid of it being, could take days of labor to find. Thanks for the input

It's on eBay now and has been. I guess there is no market really for these things anymore. ADFs have pretty much gone by the wayside with the advent of GPS. Sad but you're right its just basically a glorified timer. However, for someone specifically looking for an ADF receiver, this is a fantastic deal apparently. I always advertise cheaper on MooneySpace than eBay.
