    Mooney has to sell to people who aren’t this group. Not only aren’t we the entire target market, we are hopefully only a small part... useful load plus chute plus maybe autoland and maybe a wider cabin can level the playing field. Chute is a must. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    People join mooneyspace after they choose to buy or have bought, we aren’t the target market so that’s a little misleading. And yeah I might be willing to fork over some real cash to Mooney for the max gross increase including new gear and cowl... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Extending the gear is trivial, the main issue has been weight. Not enough useful load to add a chute before this gross weight increase which is enabled by beefier gear... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The word is they may be achieving a higher max gross on the long body with a retrofittable beefier landing gear kit. Here’s hoping for trailing link and no more doughnuts... Which is big, that’s been the limiting factor particularly on being able to offer a chute. Let’s face it, no chute can’t compete... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jets have them in large part because of the undesirable characteristics of swept wings like Dutch roll... which doesn’t apply to a Mooney. That said it will be interesting to get a review... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Imho not worth it given the expense to not just do the GI275 now. When my KI256 has to be overhauled again it’s instant GI275 for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Here is all the info. I wouldn’t expect the border to be open for non essential travel however any time soon. https://www.aopa.org/travel/international-travel/canada Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And just for contrast my Ovation, cruise from 5-10k typically, and plan roughly 11-13gph lop and 175tas, fiki airplane... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not similar. The same. And generally newer. Ovations exist back to 94. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yep, with a 20k service ceiling, simpler engine, you should be looking at Ovations too... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Grow up. If you believe that go get a tinfoil hat and I hope you use better judgement when you’re in my airspace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It sure may kill off the King option.... now if either my HSI or flight director go, the choice is easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Depends on where you’re going... only 45 mins to say queens, under an hour to penn station... but importantly low stress trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yeah you’re doing something wrong. And Sheltair will drop off and pick up at station which is close by... Train under an hour... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did you check Sheltair at FRG? The LIRR is pretty fast and direct to Manhattan... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And importantly... “How many times can you use ADAPT? According to AOPA’s guidance on the matter, it’s not likely to be unlimited. The FAA created ADAPT as an interim measure to allow non-conforming aircraft a way to get to a location where they can be equipped and for those aircraft with installed but inoperative ADS-B Out systems to get repair service.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have a 96. Haven’t found a single gremlin. They are older so be aware of fuel tank sealant state, gear shocks, and know that the original prop is inferior to the later ones... Also the king stuff is great and mine works fine, but eventually it will have to be replaced... I’d love to ditch the vacuum system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The OP said he wanted an early ovation. The ones who jumped in were those advocating g1000 not the other way around. And there are undeniable gotchas with the factory installed g1000s that you have to know about... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. gsengle
    I totally disagree with those saying go with a factory equipped g1000 ovation. The early ovations are steals. And often an awesome blank slate for panel upgrades. I added a top prop to my 1996 R and am very happy. I’m not locked in in any way avionics wise, and still waiting for that dust to settle. It’s a great pick, here is my current panel, I have the taller one and don’t mind it at all, just gives you more room for avionics. Still see fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
