I have heard that Joey Cole is expanding to Dalton Ga. Has anyone else heard this? If so, when might he bring a Mooney service center there?

Once again I have to thank everyone responding. I appreciate your knowledge. Knowledge I just don't have. I will stick with the known quality of the 3 blade Hartzell. Joe

I searched and read the previous info on the new 4 blade MT prop from John the company rep (I am assuming). My question for everyone is: Which would you go with? The 3 blade Hartzell standard, 3 blade Hartzell that goes on the Acclaim Type S (lighter) or the new 4 blade MT.

Will try and do that. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I have heard nothing but positive things about Cole Aviation. It is also the closest to me.

Thank you, I got that information changed on my profile. Haven't quite figured out this whole site yet.

Carusoam, I think you are thinking we are talking about the 2008 Ovation 3 that I was considering. I have chosen the 2000 Ovation with 1540 TT. That is why I was talking about and engine change etc. I can see how the confusion came about. Sorry. Thanks for your input

What is the best way you have found to mount/use your ipad mini or even standard Ipad? Suction cup with a magnet mount Cup holder mount Knee pad mount etc Thanks

Thank you everyone. I am certainly not a mechanic, I fix teeth and patients with painful infections. I need all the guidance you all can give. Sounds like the majority lean toward continuing to run this motor. Thanks aaronk25. Sounds like you know this plane. That is comforting to know it has been taken care of. This is a situation where I have to trust concensus and a good mechanic just like patients have to have some blind faith in me that I am going to treat them right. How many vote for the Acclaim Type S 3 blade Hartzell prop over the Standard heavier 3 blade Hartzell prop?

Recommendations for Mooney service in the Southeast? If anyone brave enough to tell me where not to go, please PM me at jmilholm@bellsouth.net Thanks "Doc"

I am just now purchasing this plane. It has been well taken care of and no issues. I had just gotten some advice that Continental will give you credit for your old engine if it is good vs if it has problems then the reman will obviously be more.

2000 Ovation with 1540 TT airframe and engine. Considering replacing engine now. Current compressions 62/80 74/80 60/80 60/80 70/80 70/80. I am told this is still good for a plane with 1540 TT. I will fly about 100 hrs per year max. but money is certainly not going to get cheaper than it is now especially by the time I will have to replace it. What do you think? Factory Reman. or Fact New? Or should I do it at all? Thanks

Thanks Mike. I will keep that in mind once all the dust settles.

Thanks again, trying to avoid the landmines. I am looking for a good "Mooney" instructor. Does anyone know one that would travel?

Nice looking. Love that scheme. That was the same scheme that caught my eye on a paint scheme website. Would you mind sending a pic to my personal email that I could blow up? jmilholm@bellsouth.net
