Thanks for keeping us all updated on this autopilot Cliffy.

Thanks @cliffy, How many hours do you think the install takes? Wanted to get an idea when I start discussing with my A&P. Appreciate the breakdown above the feedback is great and this sounds like a decent option for us short body guys. Don

Thanks from me also. Have a M20E with dynon and avidyne 440 and was waiting for the dynon autopilot but that isn't happening as we know. This sounds promising. Keep the field reports coming. Thanks!!!

I would be interested.

Thanks for this detailed feedback. Appreciate the info.

Not sure on this. Original partner had owned it for 20 plus years.

Considering this upgrade and talking to my partners in the current M20E we own. Current plane is great and has the rayjay Turbo I have been a partner for about 6 months. What I am learning is for some of the cross country stuff I am doing the plane really is a 2 person plane or maybe one small short person in the back. Love Mooney's and wanting to stay in the family I am thinking the encore seems to be the best fit having the useful load to take 4 people or 3 guys with some bags and still have enough fuel for 3 hour legs with reserves with similar fuel burn little more but going faster too. My questions for those that have made the move. What do you think the maintenance cost differences will be between these two planes? I know the Encore has two more cylinders. We have a turbo now but guessing the turbo system in the encore/252 is more complex. Wanting to get some of your thoughts on what we should plan for if we make this move. I have read the forum over the years and alot lately. Thanks for an insights any of you can give.
