    I've had Turbo Mooneys (231, Encore, TLS) and I had one Ovation, now I'm back to a TLS. If you've never owned a Turbo you wouldn't miss it, but since you already own a turbocharged airplane I recommend you stay with a Turbo. You will not want to lose the climb performance as you get past 10000 feet.

    All the AXP340 does is provide ADS-B out. You will need an MLB100 (new name Skytrax 100) to bring ADS-B in to the panel and then transfer to the IFD-100.

    The TLS has a 28 volt system and earlier models had a 28v socket for the cigarette lighter. If you are using a charger that is for 12 or 14 volts on a 28 volt socket it will seriously overheat.

    If you can possibly swing it, get an Encore. There were only 35 made from 1997-98. Lots of airframe and interior upgrades to the 252, 10 more hp, more useful load, etc, etc. https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/17827739/1998-mooney-m20k-encore https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/18376093/1998-mooney-m20k-encore

    Put in a Concorde RG-35 and never look back. The Gill Battery is 27 lbs dry (http://www.gillbatteries.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=G-35) - with the electrolyte it should be within ounces of the Concorde's 29.5 lbs.

    Don't buy charts as they won't display on the 440.

    That's funny David - most of the time I'm clueless. Every once in awhile a blind squirrel finds an acorn.

    SVS = Synthetic Vision

    The IFD540 does Exocentric SVS (a view of the airplane in trail). The IFD550 does Egocentric SVS (a view out the window).

    The Parrot couldn't go because he didn't have a passport? I bet he could talk his way into the country.

    I think there were only 231 252's made. It would be interesting to know how many "stripped-down" versions there were.

    Notice that above the switch it does not have a label for both L and R, meaning it just has the one alternator. Also if you have a picture of the right hand panel you'll notice that it does not have a breaker for ALT 2. At the time of purchase the option for two alternators was a few hundred dollars now it would be many thousands.

    Dave I wonder since N9153Z was the first Bravo conversion Mooney did if it ever got the increased volume return kit (05K22372). This was for owners who, according to Lycoming, have experienced oil seepage, and/or smoking from the exhaust pipes caused by the build up of excess oil in the rocker box area. This kit came out in late 1996 and was then shipped with all Bravo conversions after that. If I remember correctly the conversion on N9153Z was done in early 1996.

    Ask for Matt he'll hook you up.

    I've had both the Robotow and the Redline Sidewinder - definitely worth the difference to get the Sidewinder for many reasons. It is geared perfectly for towing the Mooney in and out of the hangar and it folds up so you can take it with you if you want (22 lbs if I remember correctly). Very well engineered and well built - no comparison.

    The Digital Avidyne DFC90 would be a great relatively low cost replacement for the Ovations and Bravos in 2004, 2005 and 2006 that got stuck with the Stec 55 when Mooney stopped spending the money on King Autopilots and before Garmin got the GFC700 certified. Those owners should team up and make it happen. Their airplanes would fly on rails instead of hunting for the course like most do with the STEC. In 2005 alone there were 84 Mooneys with STEC 55's, plus the 2006 Ovations had them as well.

    I would make sure it was at least the week after Oshkosh just in case there are any new announcements from Garmin or Aspen.

    The two choices that people seem to be going with for certified engine instruments are the JPI930 https://www.jpinstruments.com/shop/edm-930-primary/ (the 900 is certified also but smaller screen) and the EI MVP50 http://buy-ei.com/portfolio/mvp-50p-overview/. I had a 2000 Ovation where the previous owner had put in Aspens and a JPI EDM 930. It was a very nice setup. After I bought it I replaced the Garmin 530W and 430W with an Avidyne IFD 540 and 440. I replaced the transponder with an Avidyne AXP340 to get ADS-B out.

    Not sure if you are thinking this direction, but if you are thinking about major panel surgery, wouldn't hurt to do a primary engine monitor at the same time. The Moritz gauges on your Ovation are just a matter of time . . . they start going one by one.

    I third that! 10.2 is a game changer for the IFD's . . especially if you have an IFD440 and an iPad - your screen area will go up exponentially
