Comparing apples to apples (SR22’s and M20 Ultra’s), both are fine aircraft, but you also need to factor in the company behind the product for many reasons. For my money, I would go with the Cirrus, purely because it’s in current production and you know the company will be around to support. The jury is still out whether Mooney is still in business, or if it will be for much longer.

That’s a shame to hear Stacy quit. Did they hire a replacement? I did hear that possibly the last Acclaim Ultra was delivered the other week (33-0019).

On the Factory Aircraft Sales page of the website. The last Ovation is the 2021 32-0012. I’m not sure it would be possible for owners to produce parts and assist the build, flight test and certification. It takes many skill sets and a good deal of tribal knowledge. Although I agree, it would be fun to try.

I saw that “the last” Ovation Ultra off the assembly line is offered for sale. It looks a good deal and you don’t have to pay the usual distributor fee (10-20%?). I hear there are a few others in various stages of subassembly, so maybe we might see one roll off now and again. I sure hope so Didn’t Mooney auction off the last Mooney R or TN when that production ceased? I wonder if that would be a good way to sell it?

I apologize for my response to you carusoam. It was my bad that I was YouTube link challenged and will do better next time. Thanks to a few people for the PM’s offering help.

I don’t have time for this, but if you must... I have access to good intel, so attempted a post that I thought would be of interest to the MS community. I’m sorry I’m not as savy as some at pasting a link to the YouTube post. instead of getting some help, you made a smart ass comment. I’ve seen you do this many times before and you need to learn to be a positive force in this community, rather than a jerk. mom not sure of your credentials on this site, but I think you need to be grounded!

Save your condescending posts for someone else. You are a real jerk. My goal is to provide good intel and I will continue to do so

Thanks hammdo. Carusoam, take note that positive is better than your negative mode of posting on this forum.

I apologize. I couldn’t figure out how to copy/paste the link to YouTube. If you are smarter than I, please go ahead and insert a link.

Very pleased to hear there’s a plan to Make Mooney Great Again and it sounds like Jonny is on the right path by focusing on where the money is (and it’s not in new M20’s). Besides, I doubt the vast majority of us MS’ers or the current market would buy new. Let’s hope there’s some other aircraft related profitable work can be brought to Kerrville and keep the factory open. Go Mooney!

Friend of mine at KERV airport has seen this flying around the “Mooney” area and for a close-up when it fueled at KERV a while ago. Should Mooney be doing something like this? https://texasaircraft.com/

This is great news for the Kerrville employees (and hopefully future employees). As we all know, it’s a very tall order, but hopefully the new owners have deep enough pockets for the investment needed and can make a positive return on their investment one day. I wonder if they will work on an entry level like the M10?

Yes, I think they were done by Plane Schemer in AL. They are not the factory designated, but if the customer wants to go elsewhere, they can pay the extra. I think they are also limited if the aircraft has not completed the production process and had not been licensed. By all accounts they do a great paint job.
