Unfortunately out of town this weekend! Sorry I can't make it work.

Hank and Raptor - that would be great! Please let me know.

Hi, I fly rentals out of Wilmington, ILM right now but am looking at making a purchase in the immediate future. I have about 120 hours in an M20R Ovation in the past, which I loved, but looking at more affordable early Mooneys this time around. I've never spent time in a short-body, but would love to check one out. Anybody here in the Wilmington / Raleigh / Jacksonville / Myrtle area? I'd be happy to buy some gas and a hamburger in exchange for a ride. Ideally looking for a johnson bar/hydraulic flaps example. Thanks! Charlie

I might make a weekend out of it and fly down to visit family in NYC. For those who need services/fuel at FRG, I highly recommend Sheltair and have always been treated well by their staff.

I think "partnerships" work best in the instance of a sole-owner defraying costs by sharing time and expenses with a non-owner. That way there's no arguing over maintenance decisions, upgrades, etc. Owner does what he or she wants, but only pays for 1/2. "Partner" is so grateful to not be flying a rental/club plane that he or she doesn't need more of a say in operations.

A nice glass mug with aviator's wings and "Captain CRLB" etched on it.

Thanks all for the great discussion! I've got around 20 hours on my new-to-me O and I'm loving every minute of it. Thanks especially to Don for his professional knowledge.

I'd read through John Deakin's Pelican Perch articles on Avweb.

Thanks for the pointers. I don't have any prior Mooney experience, and I worry that I'm spoiling myself for future airplanes by flying the O, but it's a problem I'm willing to have! I'm located at KBED, so not at all far from KOWD. As a transient, I would never want to deal with Hanscom, so I understand your choice of Norwood! I don't see myself getting into 2300 feet anytime soon, so no 5B6.

That sounds about right. I flew "my new" 1995 Ovation (just entered into a partnership) for the first time on Friday. More flying scheduled for Monday-Wednesday. I'm loving every minute of it!

Hi all, Curious what speeds/configurations you use in a typical M20R traffic pattern. I'd love it if you could walk me through what you would do, starting from midfield downwind. Thanks in advance, Charlie

Thanks very much for the help and quick responses. Looks like I should be able to get a copy via email.

Hi all, I'm looking for a POH for the Ovation 1, or another resource with information about the aircraft. It would be great if anybody knows where an electronic version is available. Thanks in advance, Charlie
