I have a 1999 ovation and the oil level likes to sit at about 5 1/2. Burning about a quarter every 6 hours. 1370 tt on the engine. Leaks a little around the exhaust pipe. That's where a see the oil. Just wondering what everyone else sees. Thanks

Thanks!

thanks for all the replys

Anybody have brake fluid leak from belly? Took off panel on belly and can't seem to see where it is leaking. Pumped the brakes a few times and still can't find the source. Just wondering if it's a known issue. 1999 ovation. Thanks

could I get one too?

Thanks, it was the speedbrakes

Hello, New ovation owner here! Upon shutdown and turning off the master switch there is a loud bang in the cockpit. Electrical related. What would cause this. The Air conditioner and related fans are all off. Any ideas? Thanks

I am in KCFO. Just bought an ovation. Will be bringing it back after Oshkosh! N21MS. Will be in a heated hanger sharing with a bonanza. What's your tail number?

Anybody have a suggestion where to get STC for ovation HP conversion. Just bought a 1999 at it has the prop and governor already. Just need the STC mechanic said. Lasar said it is $7495 now! Thought it was 5k. Man things are going up. Any other places to go besides Lasar? They don't mark up the price do they? Thanks

I paid $63 and bought it at univair.com

Thanks, I got in with Phil on the 23rd.

Looking for a great mechanic to do a prebuy on a M20R near Daytona beach area. I have heard great things about Phil Jimenez in Avon Park PJ aircraft services.. Was thinking of used him.

how much is the aerocruze? Plus install. I would like a autopilot in my C

is the arm the same for the baggage door? I ordered the one for the door as it doesn't stay open. It's new and is the new one is very hard to move currently. Will install shortly.

I just got a new arm and was wondering how the install is

Anybody for the valuation guide for a m20r that Jimmy Garrison has made? Thanks

Thanks guys! Appreciate the quick response. I was thinking of buying but not now. Went to deploy speed brakes and they were inop. Ughhh. Lots of inop things that weren’t talked about.

Is this sealant then? No fuel is leaking.

The brown color

My son could instruct you. He is a CFII. We have a M20C that he keeps at Purdue. He can fly over to Columbus for the week and stay with relatives and get you checked out. He has 400. hours in the M20C and instructs often as a freelance. Cheap rates too. Give him a call. 303-515-1724 Drew Hanna

I actually have signed up with savvy to help with the prebuy!

it had a prop strike so the owner overhauled it to be safe. that happened at around 600

Thanks! Boroscope pictures will be a must then for sure!

I have read everything I can about this subject but always like other opinions. I like this 1998 ovation I found for sale but am concerned about the engine and the plane not flying that much. It has been in a heated hanger its whole life up in the Northeast area and no expense spared MX performed. TT 1300 SMOH 700. Overhaul done 15 years ago. It's original avionics which doesn't bother me as I can get the panel I want. My concern is looking at the compressions over the years they have been slowly going down which is normal. As of 2 months ago they are as follows: # 62 #62 #3 67. #4 60 #5 65 #6 60. They were in the low 70'S 11 years ago at 350 hours SMOH. I know continentals have lower compressions and it doesn't tell you much. What items should be done at prebuy (Boroscope, oil analysis, go fly it for a hour and half then do compressions, etc.)? Anything else to do to protect me in the pre purchase?
