I have some PFM Engine gauges somewhere. They have been hanging around my office since we converted a PFM to a Liquid Cooled Rocket back in the late 90's. I actually have about 20 hours of PFM time. Very cool aircraft. Definitely underpowered, but a joy to fly, way ahead of its time. Bob Kromer told me after my question to him a few months ago (along with 100+ other Mooney fans at the MooneyMax convention) that Porsche asked Mooney to delay the PFM for 6 months in order to develop a higher horsepower Turbo version of the engine for aircraft. He said it would have been the perfect Airplane had they waited. Bob said Mooney refused to wait and came out with the PFM in 1987 before it was ready. He said that was one of two things he regretted in his Mooney career. The other was the '301'. He need to write a mini-novela on that one.

Sorry. Can't help on this one. I stick with what I know.

On an Ovation, non-FIKI TKS will add anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000. Someone wanting TKS will value it higher. If is for a desert SW destination, it could actually be a negative due to speed loss and maintenance/upkeep. Pac NW, Great Lakes and New England/East Coast buyers value it more than others.

I just had a couple show up unexpectedly. I wasn't expecting them for a few more months. I will post an update with my email address in the next few days

That spec sheet looks familiar (2008) :

I just got a batch of Oxygen Bottles, MFG date of March 2022. email for more info. jimmy @ allamericanaircraft dot com

Somehow we have just wound up with 4 Ovations (with 2 more probable) and 3 M20Ks (with 2 more probable). Ovations range from 1's to an Ovation Ultra. K's range from a 1980 model through 252 and possibly a very nice Rocket. Keeping my ears open for pre-Js, J's and M's. I will be email blasting the ones I have in the next 3-7 days. email me if you are looking or know someone who is looking and are not already on my blast list. jimmy at gmaxamericanaircraft dot com OR jimmy at allamericanaircraft dot com

I know it is a long shot, but anyone have a plane waiting for paint or other work that might have ordered a grey windscreen and has it sitting around (one you bought to replace the one in the plane when you refurb it)? I have one on order but it is 3-4 weeks out on a plane that needs one now. Will have the new one shipped directly to you if you can help out. Or if you have a spare you don't need, I will just buy it from you. Thanks guys. Jimmy Garrison

I go on Facebook maybe once a month and even then, don't know how to navigate it (does that make me a boomer?). Best way to contact me is by email. Either jimmy@allamericanaircraft.com or jimmy@gmaxamericanaircraft.com (actually both is the best overall way to contact me)

If you would like one or more of the value guides, I have completed everything up through M20K. See the top pinned post on the 'GENERAL MOONEY TALK' forum for info on how to get the guides.

Bump

How low is low? Quart in 7? I have seen fresh overhauls that are worse than that.

***Edit 12/2/2021, 14:27 - The M20J Guide has emailed to everyone that requested - please see the top post in General Mooney Talk about how to get the guide. And thank you for the contributions to MooneySpace. The best way you can thank me for the guide is to support MS*** I have emailed about 300 Mooney Pre-201 Value Guides in the last few days. The M20J Guide will be ready to email out either tomorrow or Thanksgiving Day. The info about the Guide is in the pinned post at the top of the General Mooney Talk Forum. Mooney owners get the guide free. Best way to get it is to email me at jimmy @ allamericanaircraft . com and give me your tail number. Will send out the 28 page guide to you via email. Thanks, Jimmy (GMax)
