    I picked up a sky radar around last November. First priority is the weather picture. Second priority is the traffic picture. Would love to get the strikefinder data overlaid as well, not possible so far... Not bad for an old iPad... WingX seems to slowly improve overtime... Best regards, -a-

    Thanks Dave. Great screen shots! I see what you're saying... Were you able to match the traffic up visually as well? I would guess that the altitudes indicated are msl as reported by transponders? If they were relative to your position I would expect arrows pointing up or down. This is my best speculation, I will be reading the technical details if WingX has provided them.... Best regards, -a-

    Somebody made notice of the WingX update in another thread already. .... One of the updates is to include the long awaited...Traffic to go with you ADSB weather. Has anyone had the opportunity to give this a try? Anything positive to report? Concerns about old data, or uninitiated traffic? Best regards, -a-

    You have just bumped into another reason to search for your own mooney... Or a partnership... -a-

    WR, Where are you located? Do you want someone to meet you at your location? Welcome to the Mooney world. Best regards, -a-

    Electric or vacuum driven? Electric has clutches that wear. Clutch replacement is based on deployment, Not so much flight hours, so it is hard to expect when this would be needed. Fortunately, uneven deployment in an ovation is only slightly distracting... Best regards, -a-

    Curt, Welcome back... Find/push the view new posts button and start reading. I think you will like what you see. Best regards, -a-

    Ovations are solid IFR platforms and durable compared to the plastic alternative. Good luck with your decision... Best regards, -a-

    What ever happened to Bendix King? vaporware...? Garmin was the heros to BK's villain. Now Garmin has taken the spot of being the villain. Best regards, -a-

    Bennett, My 94 Ovation POH uses 5.82 #/gal for 100LL... This is from the factory in the "airplane weighing procedure". The phrase "top-off" is used to explain how much fuel to put in. Hope this helps... -a-

    My 65C had one. Only used it a few times in ten years though. To copy this design would include cutting the sheet metal and installing a door over it... Sounds expensive. I would like to keep my battery on a conditioner/charger. That would need the external plug for convenience.

    Expect the nose to be heavy, and the elevator to be less than perfectly matched... Follow what Byron said.... Gonna love that big engine.... -a-

    I thought I recognized that tail number.... I was going to look it up just to make sure. Now I know I have an addiction... -a-

    I know I know you all think i'm nuts! "thin'k" isn't the word I had in mind..... Bryan, that is spectacular flying. You must do plenty of preflight preparation. Your spot landing skill is right on. Thanks for sharing. Continue to Fly safely... Best regards, -a-

    Thanks guys, I feel better about my Ovation now... In line with the topic... The Ovation has a special clip holding the seat from exiting the rails. Byron's design seems to be the off-the-shelf winner. -a-

    David, welcome to the high life... Congrats on your accomplishment. -a-

    Garmin used that instrument panel on the back of AOPA's magazine this month. They called it an Ovation though..... -a-

    The fuel senders, I believe, are mounted on the sides of the tanks, their seals are often the source of leaks. It is a good idea to visually inspect these seals for the source of leaks. I hope this gives you something to consider, and some hope that your challenge isn't too big... Best regards, -a-

    If your money man/person sits in the back, the long body is an easy choice. A long body with turbo, tks, and XM, is a professional pilot's dream. I'm a big fan of the ovation after a decade with a growing family in an M20C... Best regards, -a-

    Datapoint... I've seen a broken mount on the lower copilot side of a 65C before. Right where the mount attaches to the block on the firewall.
