Can we please keep politics out of this?

I am not. I just wanted to let any potential buyer know that this is the correct prop for an Ovation or Eagle.

If the conditions were VFR i think I'd rather do this VFR. Both the PHL and NY class B top out at 7,000 feet. I'd probably do this flight at 10,500 ft and fly direct from KBDR to waypoint SUTBE, then RIISE, and then KFME. I don't know what you fly, but at 140 knots climb speed climbing at 1000ft average up to 7000,ft , it would probably take me about 10 minutes to fly direct from KBDR to the closest point of NY's Class B. With that being the case, I'd already be over 7000ft in which case I don't have any airspace to worry about until the I need to deal with the SFRA. I'd personally climb up to 10.5 so It would be less likely to be vectored around. I'd start my decent right around the time I pass KEVY airport and plan to be at a max altitude of 3000ft by the time I'm at the SUTBE waypoint. Thereafter, I'd continue down to 1300ft and stay under the BWI class B airspace. I used RIISE as the next waypoint just as a measure to fly around the Bravo airspace going all the way down to the surface, and then land at FME. I've spent countless hours flying around Bravo airspaces, and 90 percent of my flights have me flying under, over, or within the bravo airspace. they're easy to navigate as long as you know what you need to stay clear of. If anything, ask ATC for help and most of them are willing to help you out.

Is this not a 7693 prop. I looked up the blade number and couldnt find anything?

I called yesterday and they picked up. ordered 2 washers from them.

I presume you'd be buying his old prop?

I was exactly in the same position as you. 2 blade mac on my eagle. They won't sell you the STC, however if you buy the screaming eagle conversion, AKA the O3 310HP conversion, the STC for the Prop is in that so you wouldn't need one for the prop on top of the 310hp conversion. I was originally between buying a brand new acclaim Type S prop (7498) without the 310hp STC, or the Ovation prop (7693) used without an STC and get the O3 conversion. In the end, I took the 310HP with the used prop since on my eagle it gave me a 70hp boost, a 170 pound gross weight increase, and significantly better takeoff and climb performance, and it ended up being the cheaper option. In your case, if you go the 310hp with the used prop it'll give you a 30hp boost, and significantly better climb and takeoff performance. If you take the Acclaim Type S prop, it'll be probably a bit better cruise speed, a little better climb performance, and a little better takeoff distance. Shoot me a PM or give me a call and I'll guide you through the process in order to do the used prop route. I will say the 310HP is a completely different animal. With just myself, and 35 gallons, Takeoff roll is about 600 to 700ft, initial climb was +2000ft on a mid temperature day climbing out at 105 knots for fun at sea level

I'd probably look at the Electro air as well. Is it an option to just ask for no mags? Electro air might possibly have duel EIS in the very near future.

What about an switching it out with an LED. You could probably leave a tiny LED on for ages without having to worry about running the battery down.

Looks like I'm going to be figuring this out soon. Would these bolts work with the added spacer? https://robinsonheli.com/3-column/shop/parts/r44-parts/bolt-112/

Depends on the strip in my opinion. Ive landed on a couple grass strips in a long body. If its a nice strip, no issues what so ever.

At 9 to 10K, i can usally expect 179 knots at 13gph just slightly LOP. Go ROP and ill see around 182 to 184 14.4gph. 12GPH equates around 174 to 175. 10 GPH is 155 knots and 9gph i got exactly 150 knots. Climb performance is really nice in a super light O3. My CG is very far forward. When I add a decent amount of weight to the back that gives me a couple knots aswell. I remember a flight a couple months back at 13500, 12.5 gallons, and 181 knots. I think my eagle/ovation is a bit faster than the average ovation. Not by much but by a couple knots. I cant wait for dual EIS to be a thing and im excited to see the speed gain from that with dual electroair. The eagle with the o3 conversion also has the benifit of great useful loads. I think nearly all of them have a plus 1100 pound useful load.

Alot of the mid to late 90 mooneys have N91XXX.

Was the exhaust smell just there when you had the heat on or was it constant?

Would you mind sharing the info of the IA? For my next annual id love to do owner assisted and I'm somewhat local to you.

Used flightline in march of 2021. Was very happy. Super easy.

Nobody tagged him here. @gsxrpilot

I got rid of mine and replaced it with lights over the G3X. I just kept 5 of them. Speed brakes, Boost pump, Alt air, Gear Unsafe, and Gear Down. I'd recommend it. I always disliked the old annunciation system.

I have this and like it. Would highly recommend. Just an FYI, its easier to leave the mags on with this.

I flew to davis yesterday. From just north of LA to penoche, tops where around 13800. Coming back today it was a lot better down to around 6 to 7000 feet.

Pretty sure garmin gives the autopilot away for free if they certify it in your plane.

Lol

It's on the MicroVG website. stall speed was reduced by 8%. VG have a possibility of lowering the cruise speed. The selling point of the TBM is that its the fastest SET on the market. slowing it down isn't an option, and it already has a great useful load. The Mooney does not.

VGs bring the stall speed from 59 kias to 54 kias. Seems like a lot of extra margin in order to get a GWI.

It has a throttle quadrant. Most likely a 75 to 76 F.
