That is what I will do.The 24-15. Thank you Alan

Thank You Alan

Mooney People, Just wanted to check battery type for 2008 Ovation. I believe it is a Concorde 24-15 Platinum but not positive. Can anyone tell me? The POH just says 24V 10 ampere hour battery! Thanks Everyone Alan

Hi Will,thank you...I will o. look for it. Alan

Mooney People, A question. Just got a Black Max dehydrator to keep moisture out of engine here in Florida. I. understand some engine breather tubes have some holes drilled in case of icing. I have not looked yet. Does Ovation have these holes and if so , how far up the opening? Are they hard to see? Thanks Everyone Alan

Hello Mooney People I probably cannot fly my Ovation for three or four months. It is in a hangar and would like advice in having the engine. pickled. I was a bike crash in ....Sarasota and have a broken arm and out of commission for a few months. ....bummer thanks Alan

I recently replaced my #1 cylinder (Continental IO550) because of very very low compression. It was sent Zephyr Hills in Florida. They failed the cylinder because of a crack and I wanted a factory new cylinder. Cannot get one from Continental either. So was aa able to get an overhauled one from them. Alan

Mooney People, a question.....Flying Ovation with G1000. Airplane has no manual rudder trim. Only the electric switch. I find I am always having to re trim to keep the ball centered. It seems to drift out of trim frequently. It should stay put once trimmed I think. Anyone have any thoughts about this?? Thanks Alan N913ND

Thanks everyone...great ideas Alan

Mooney People, What do you think about landing at X01 with good 2400 foot runway on hot day in Ovation. POH. lines are a little tricky to follow on graph. Usually use 75 knots approach speed. but can slow to 70 and put out speed brakes and retract flaps on runway.... it has been very hot here in South Florida. Any thoughts? Alan

I Have occasionally just bumped the switch with my hand and it will switch ff the autopilot. I am not a mechanic. Using G1000 avionics in 2008 Ovation Alan

Mooney People, Lots of great notes about oversize bushings, steering horns and steering pivots.Can someone actually explain what these things are or maybe a photo? I just fly the plane (M20R) and never work on it. Sarasota Avionics does that. Thanks Alan

hello Everyone...Thanks for the notes Alan
