The useful load was based on empty TKS per the salesman. TIS is already installed Regarding fuel capacity, I personally like to be able to fill up the fuel tanks at a less expensive location and be able to fly multiple legs until I arrive at another affordable fuel location.

Drum Roll.... useful load is 830.74 -100 gals fuel -6 gals TKS fluid Leaves 175 lbs.. so you have to choose if you are going to take the wife, fuel, or TKS fluid. :@) Think I’ll just keep my J model

Steven, interested in the items you question in the logbooks. the only thing I’d add is active traffic and ADS-B

It’s listed on controller 220 STOH, FIKI, AIR CONDITIONING

I’ve tried that. The vref results are not realistic.

Guys, I’m considering jumping into a 2009 Acclaim Type S, 1050 Total Time, no damage history, 310hp STC Anyone know the general market value at this time? Thanks

I have a 1987 M20J IO360-A3B6, at around the 550hr timeframe I replaced both magnetos with slick mags. Long story short they both began failing at about 200hours time causing an in air engine problem. Once I figured out the problem, I decided to get away from magnetos. Certified must still have one magneto. I went with ElectroAir, had it installed March 2017 and am still having problems with the ElectroAir, everything from bad plug wires to failing coil pack provided to radio noise to now dealing with EGT anomalies and 120RPM drop on EIS runup check. Meanwhile the new magneto has been flawless after 100 hrs run time. I did not notice any perceptible performance improvement either, maybe a knot in cruise. All-in-all if I had it to do again I would just go with new slick mags. I did speak with the ElectroAir owner Darrell Poole at Oshkosh and he said he’d get it taken care of. That hasn’t happened yet. The ElectroAir and subsequent Powerflo exhaust has netted a total performance improvement of 2-3 knots and maybe 150 FPM in climb. Hope this helps
