Ohh!!! I’m on my way! Be there Monday!!!

It had something to do with him selling his place in Florida. Apparently he bought an RV7.

Registered!

I will be there!

Here she is!

Won't be back here until Tuesday! But anytime after!

I closed today on my first Mooney, N916MP a 1994 M20R w 310HP STC. Thank you to everyone here for answering my many questions and giving me the info and opinions I needed that helped me decide to buy an Ovation. I'm flying out to Indiana to pick it up on Monday and will be flying it with a Mooney rated CFII back here to Las Vegas. I need 10 hours and 10 landing for insurance - I'll have that done by the time we get back. Monday will be getting familiar with the aircraft and its systems, pattern work etc and Tuesday the flight west. Excited doesn't begin to describe it!

Please update us.

I believe the answer is no. I'm pretty sure the side with the wing walk is reinforced.

Here’s an almost identical Ovation that was listed here for sale a couple of years ago. This one has factory oxygen but not the TKS. Useful load of this one has UL of #1087.

Hi! Any chance you could send me a copy as well? I know this thread was a couple of years ago but here’s hoping!!!

Can anyone help with a cheat sheet?

Yes, with the built in oxygen, the second alternator for the FIKI (mine is only inadvertent) that may make up for the difference. Yes, his one a beauty.

Yes, it was weighed in 2019 at Muncie aviation after the avionics upgrade. TKS fluid was empty.

I'm closing on an Ovation with the 310HP STC next week. My first Mooney! Just wondering if anyone had a cheat sheet with Power/Prop/Speed for various phases of flight? Yes, I'm poring over the POH but if anyone has a reference sheet they've made it would be most appreciated! Also, any other advice would be appreciated as well!

In 6’ 260 and I owned a Cherokee 235. Mooney is wider and much more comfortable.

I have experience importing planes from Canada. Feel free to PM me and I’m happy to share what I know. There are a few things to watch out for.

Awesome!!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks!!!

Needless to say... I'm super excited and can't wait to get my hands on it!

Provided the rest of the prebuy goes as planned, I should be closing on my first Mooney around the end of the month. It's a 1994 Ovation with the STC for the 310HP engine. I believe this is called a "Standing Ovation". Anyhow, I'll be flying out when it closes and bringing it back (with a Mooney CFII) but want to get a jump on studying the POH. So - I see the STC paperwork with the power settings and a couple of performance chart enhancements for the engine upgrade, but the STC paperwork tells me to refer to the POH for all other performance data. SO, what POH should I use? I can't find a standard Ovation POH online but I can find an Ovation 2 POH. Is the Ovation 2 that much different or should I continue to search for an Ovation POH? Does anyone have an Ovation POH around the 1994 model year?? Any help would be massively appreciated. Can't wait to close!!!!!

What did you drop it to?

I have Savvy - they're reviewing the logbooks right now. If I can't find a prebuy person I'll unleash Savvy.....

Thanks! I called and left a message

That's very interesting.....
