Hello, I bought them from Rosen for my 2008 Ovation and installed them myself. It was easy. I don't remember if there was any paperwork issue of any sort.

Hello Mooney People, A question...In flight , using G1000 avionics which includes the GFC 700 autopilot, the autopilot occasionally start to blink on the status panel and need to be switched off and then I switch it back on and it resumes flying the airplane. I don't know why this happens. Anyone have a similar quirk? Thanks Alan Maurer Sarasota N913ND

Flying an M20R ,2008 model with around 800 hours total time. Last annual six months ago noted low compression on cylinder #4. Was not told this was a big problem and boroscope check was OK , but have noted that EGT for that cylinder is usually 50 hotter that the others. Pressure was 45/80. Can easily recheck this but have thought this cylinder may have ?? and exhaust leak. Glad to have some thoughts :-) Thanks Alan Maurer N913ND

It would be just super to solve this. When the auto squelch quits it creates software worries. The Ovation is completely dependent on the G1000 working properly. Many Thanks Alan

Hi,I sent an e mail to Trek Lawler so hope to hear back. I believe when all is working properly , the G1000 does all squelch adjustments automatically and the pilot should never have to use the manual squelch. In my case now, if I leave the G1000 in manual squelch mode (tiny light on) I can adjust it if I push the volume dial in (which makes the SQ light come on. If I push the round dial in again the tiny volume light 9bottom left) comes back on. This aspect of the G1000 system could be a little bit more user friendly. I would like to know why the auto squelch stopped working. Tailwinds Alan

Hello Mooniacs, I have a weird problem. Flying along suddenly I could not hear my own voice in my ears using my Bose headset. I went to my local avionics shop and they ordered a new audio box for the G1000 which did nothing. They then fiddled and fiddled and found that if I left the manual squelch pushing in (little light on) and pushed in the volume control at the bottom to light up the SQ function and leave the manual squelch on, everything works fine. But, if I turn the manual SQ off to go back to volume control the problem re occurs. I can just leave it pushed on but that is not a solution....just a work around. Has anyone had this problem and maybe solved it? Airplane is a 2008 M20R with the G1000 in use at that time. Thanks Guys Alan Maurer, N913ND

Has anyone done ovation 2 to ovation 3? is it worthwhile?
