I have a barely used set of Aerosheep sheepskin covers (including headrest cover) that I'd like to sell, I realize I will not have use for them again. They are light tan color.

I have one of the latest model Acclaim Type S Mooney's out there, but unlike other G1000 systems, it does not provide flight/engine data to put into the Savvy analysis. When I approached Mooney about it they were unaware that other G1000 systems had this and they didn't, so I'm sure now they will get it on the board for future planes, but I don't think any Mooney G1000 systems have this - does anyone know otherwise? As for Savvy, I thought it made a lot of sense to sign up for, but the experience was terrible, because the service was bad and they don't stand behind it at all. Maintenance shops' attitudes towards this are very mixed. Some are fine (and in the system already) and probably see being in league with Savvy as a way to get more business. Some are a little leery if not in the system but will allow themselves to be talked into using the Savvy system if requested. Others seem to feel that Savvy are bullies and make more trouble than they help solve. Whatever Savvy did, our go-to maintenance shop got to the point they refused to work on the plane, when previously they got all our business. Something smells bad behind the scenes, In theory the service is a great concept, especially for someone very busy or very un-mechanical who might feel they need an expert in their camp when negotiating with mechanics. For me I thought it was helpful to have available because our plane is for real distance business travel, and in far flung places, finding someone appropriately knowledgeable is hard sometimes. That all falls apart when the Savvy account rep/tech vanishes for days at a time without contact in the middle of a time-sensitive issue, half solved issue. Most disappointing, they do not stand at all behind their service. If they screw up, don't expect them to fess up or do anything about it, they won't. In the end for us, that meant they cost us $3,000 and a lot of hassle that would have been avoided entirely if we didn't have Savvy and just dealt with it ourselves. The Savvy team got bids from G&N for a part overhaul, yet then by disappearing they took away our ability to go that route, and to justify it after the fact, Mike Busch said G&N "had no business quoting it" (why Savvy got that quote then I don't know?!) and his entire defense of that comment was based on a conversation with the top guy at Niagara...a G&N competitor! He never even spoke to G&N in telling me they weren't qualified to do it, when interestingly, Niagara is not authorized to overhaul that part and G&N is. It reeked of BS. Bottom line, bad service, not worth the money, definitely not worth the hassle and alienation of your favorite maintenance shop.
