  1. 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
  2. I actually have signed up with savvy to help with the prebuy!
  3. it had a prop strike so the owner overhauled it to be safe. that happened at around 600
  4. Thanks! Boroscope pictures will be a must then for sure!
  5. 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?
  6. Update, What do you think? 1995 ovation. 2900TT, 40 SMOH,40 POH. Overhauled at reputable shop. Annual done I February. No options except Oxygen tank. Paint 7, interior 7. Only updated equipment is a 430W and Garmin GTX345 transponder. KC150 autopilot, JPI700. Price 180k. The 280 Hp engine is fine with me. I can't fine a Screaming Eagle for sale but that would fit my needs as well!
  7. Looking for an early ovation. Don't care to much about the panel. But would like an engine monitor. Don't need TKS or Prop anti ice. Budget is 175-200k. I have found to in that range and one with new overhaul at 195K.
  8. Anybody have a steering horn assembly for 1968 m20C? Going in annual and I might need one. Thanks
  9. Just looking for recommendations for good engine overhaul shops for my 0-360. Costs or factory rebuilt? Midwest area preferably. Thanks
  10. I am interested. Just started looking. Do you have it on trade a plane now.
  11. Anybody know a replacement part for the dome light switch? Lasar is out of stock.
  12. Nice! I have a Nice C for trade. Looking for my forever plane.
  13. Had the throttle cable come off from the carb. On the ground thankfully! ordered new cables, throttle, mixture, and prop just in case. Would like to get a new control cable end for the throttle where is came off. Anybody know part # or where to order. Thanks. Looks just like this..
  14. Thanks, Looks like it's part #660190-003. Mcfarlane says on website out of stock. Aircraft spruce has nothing under that part #. I heard aircraft spruce was cheaper.
  15. Anybody know the part number for the throttle cable? M20C
  16. M20 C . Had the throttle cable completely come off! Just going to get a new one.
  17. I will take two if anybody wants to order another batch.
  18. Does anybody know who can service a turn coordinator for a Brittain autopilot? It’s a tc100 Evs. Tried porter strait in Tulsa and they don’t service them anymore. Thanks.
  19. If you didn’t sell that trim boot I will buy it.
  20. I will take two if there are any left
