First off all Mooneys are great, but as you climb the food chain they have obviously advantages. In 19 I purchased a 201, great plane, 1988 a new 201 upgraded avionics and interior, in 2005 went to a long body 2006 Bravo Gx loved the plane but Premier didn’t advise me a new wonderful Acclaim was coming out very shortly I purchased an almost new Acclaim which took awhile for me to love it as much as my other models. Arguably an Encore may be the best Mooney made but measuring our needs and reasons are quite important IMO most Mooneys are great two person planes, there not 310s 210s Malibus etc. I need a two person plane most of our flights are 800-1500 miles monthly. The acclaim is great but no LR tanks which my Bravo had. Choose your mission then fit your plane into those parameters. Good luck a lot of the fun is looking for your new plane. Mine is in annual an should be ready next week Have fun looking for you new transportation D

Someone at our airport shares tasks for other tasks eg. someone may do financial or tax work for say a contractor who may do quality decks or roofs, same idea. I’m sure if this occurred they’d both pay there fair share of tax, just saying help each other out if practical. I personally don’t know anyone doing it even though bartering is quite legal.

Was there any course of action by the FAA or any other regulatory body, it’d be interesting to see what if anything occurs due to the actions of Gryder? Somewhat interesting scenario D

I recently imported an Acclaim from Canada one year ago, going through its first annual. Hopefully it has a us N number otherwise you may be in for a complex reassignment to us. I didn’t even though mine only had 300+ hours and it is a 2016 model I needed a blessing from the FAA if not be prepared to have every aspect gone over and inspected D

So yesterday most of my trip was 29 2450 at 15.3 stayed at 10000 due to icing and freezing rain, used my TKS down to 2.5/ gal so I had no clue if I was peak or whatever the. Lean find is stupid, when do you use ?

Documents say 29.5 2500 17 gph equals ROP but 29.5 2500 at 14 equals LOP. OTHER stuff say differing stuff. I like flying say 26- 2400 around 14-15 gph but I know wonder if that ROP LOP or around Peak, the lean find seems stupid as does the pilot. If som Acclaim pilots can chime in on there trip cruise numbers it’d be greatly appreciated. D

Flew over Huntsville today, good luck finding a Mooney guru there, a mere 450 miles to Longview

Priceless

Nice looking rocket

Unless I drive,walk or borrow my neighbors bike I’m Bidenized, again, I do have a TSA appointment for Sunday to get out, quite a pain for the limited problem I can give to the president. I was truly looking forward to the occasion hope you all enjoy. D

Mooney pros Mike Elliott

Things have changed there are many avenues to get to the bigs, I have a friend pilot who had his daughter go the route without attending college I just finished her tax return which was her first as an officer, this being her first real job BTW at PSair, her w-2 was in excess of $155,000, not bad for a country girl emulating daddy. Get those kids up and flying I have quite a few pilots, mechanics etc, one mechanic for Delta made $100+, gosh I’d be great to be young again. Hell I have a surgical nurse making just under $200..

Sweet, absolutely 2024 Mooney Ovation3 a year earlier it’d be on its way to Delaware

Sounds familiar L

Yes it does on takeoff it sets you back in your seat, the Bravo didn’t I guess that’s the extra turbo. I don’t have the 310 HP upgrade but it still climbs like a homesick angel
