  1. Yes, but I don't fit in a Bonanza. I'm very tall in my torso and I can't fit in a Bonanza unless the seat back is reclined uncomfortably. My heads hits the ceiling. I do like the Bonanza, but it is not the plane for me.
  2. Thanks for the great comments... I need a good cross country plane that can carry about 675 lbs. of people. My typical cross country flight would be around 300-350nm with occasional flights of 800-1,000nm. I think the Ovation would fit this mission profile pretty well but would likely need to make most trips without topping the tanks.
  3. Short fields are not a requirement. My home field has 4,700' runway and I rarely fly into strips less than 3,500'. The "Porsche Panamera" is my favorite car... It speaks highly of the Ovation to compare it to the Panamera as a comparison. I have a friend that used to own an Ovation (before he traded for a TBM850) and he REALLY liked the Ovation. Everything he has had to say about the Ovation is that has me interested in it.
  4. Looks like you have a VERY nice Ovation for sale... Just curious what your useful load is since it has air conditioning?
  5. Thanks for the offer... We were in NY city this last year on vacation. In hindsight, I wish I would have made the connection with you earlier because it would have been the perfect time to see your Ovation. If I am not able to locate an Ovation closer, we might try to work something out. Thanks...
  6. Would love to have the opportunity to try an Ovation on for size if anyone on this forum knows of an Ovation in the southwest Indiana, Southeast Illinois, or Northern Kentucky area.
  7. I currently own a Cherokee 180 and am looking to upgrade in the near future. Looking to acquire a much better cross-country traveling airplane, and the Mooney Ovation is one of the three airplanes I'm considering. My short list of airplanes is Mooney Ovation, Piper Saratoga, or newer Cessna Skylane. I love the speed of the Ovation, but not sure about the interior space. I need a comfortable traveling airplane for me, my wife, and daughter; however, we are not small people - I'm 6'3", my daugher is 5'10', etc... I've had the opportunity to fly in the Saratoga and Skylane and they both have adequate space (the Saratoga is huge), but I've never had the opportunity to sit in or fly the Ovation. My question is, how would you compare the interior space of the Ovation to a Cherokee or Skylane? Is it adequate size to be a comfortable traveling platform for 3 larger people?
