    for an altitude engine, is the ovation an altitude engine?
  2. jetdriven
    last I heard the sheet metal was riveted to angle aluminum sections which were screwed to the tubing.
  3. jetdriven
    I like that! finally!

    I had a client who bought a twin commanche and it had two fresh engines, props, and new Barry mounts in it. The aircraft would resonate and shudder so bad you might think it was coming apart. Lord mounts fixed it.

    Do a flaps up takeoff get it up to about 85 or 90 miles an hour and then lift off and if the shudder is worse you found your problem, and as other people said if you brake and it stops that’s your problem but we had this too and it was out of balance tire

    wasn’t that the plane that was on eBay for like 30 grand a few years ago? Also where are they going to get Valve springs or an overhaul kit for this thing? $109,000 is a stretch maybe 20% of that.

    Don’t pull the prop back to 2500 RPM, leave at 2700 leave the throttle full open, and climb at a higher speed like 140 mph. All these things will get you to altitude sooner, cooler and more efficiently and then the cruise portion begins, where your temps are lower and pressures are higher also.

    You have to have the GFC500 and 275s or better to have the smart glide.

    Pull the cowl. Look around. I’ve seen cracks where the pipes Y together on either side.
  11. jetdriven
    Keep the knob on the center console cabin air closed. And keep the overhead vents and the knee vents open

    I’m about to rip That stuff out of mine and retrofit the crashed ovation interior that I’ve got.

    Between 500 and 1000 feet transition to @testwest Vz speed which is 123 kias. 141 Mph ias.
  14. jetdriven
    80-100 MPH
  15. jetdriven
    The problem with being at the bottom of the green is you have no margin in case you run a quart or 2 low it goes into the yellow and really Lycoming says to tear the engine down when you get below 55 or 60 psi.

    If it is the appliance rust oleum from Home Depot it is not epoxy paint
  17. jetdriven
    Paint them. Clean off. Scrub with prekote. Bake to drive out moisture. Then epoxy DTM primer and urethane 2k single stage paint.

    Wild horses racing. I remember the paint was knocked off of it but as far as getting it to a mirror shine, it had too many scratches in it has been sanded on in the various places. 2024 aluminum does not shine up like a Alclad and Alclad tthat’s often scratched through and then you sand or polish through the Alclad to get the scratches out of it anyway it’s just that modern airplanes are not built like classic airplanes with extra thick Alclad

    I have the com flip switch. And I also have a toggle switch on the panel and on the right yoke to toggle through the memory frequencies. Push push push then flip
  20. jetdriven
    Where do you get those clips at?
  21. jetdriven
    To reset the 750 pull the COM1 and NAV1 circuit breakers wait about 10 seconds and then reset them
  22. jetdriven
    I’m not sure that Plane is going to polish to a mirror finish.
  23. jetdriven
    There is a thread on Beechtalk about this, and it boils down to lowering the squelch values in the main menu
  24. jetdriven
    What kind of starter do you have and how old is it
  25. jetdriven
    They won’t even certify the 2900 pound gross weight for the earlier model J airplanes. So I don’t see how this is going to affect anything older than an M20R
