I just replaced number 4 due to crack in cooling fin , ordered cylinder from continental and it ran another 2800 $ back in June .

Thought I might add what 2 different clamps look like . The clamp with the showing on my Acclaim is the good clamp not in the recall , the spot weld clamp is the one needing replacement

I have a 2009 with the wolf and no vacuum pump so it must be fed another way

I hear they are very hard to come but

They needed to be rebuilt at a cost of 3500 per turbo

Turbos and waste gate sent to Main turbo in California and completed and returned in under two weeks . I talked with the owner and he told me he considers the turbo needs to be inspected by 1000 hrs

I bought mine from Aero LED. There in my Acclaim and I have two light per wing . The inside light I bought the pulsating the 2light is my landing light and does not pulsate . I would contact the manufacturer and the pricing the not overly expensive

This is my bird , I’m the second owner but I get tons of compliments

I meant order them

You can also Oder them that automatically pulse

You might be better asking Don Maxwell , but it changed the engine page with the correct levels on turbo temp , cleared up something on the weather page and I’m sure cleaned ip some bugs in the background .. I can’t prove it but I swear it’s a bit faster

No but we fly night , IFR , over mountains several times during the year so I tend to try to keeps things in tip top shape.

I own a 2009 Acclaim S and am the 2nd owner sine 2019… plane runs great but discover at annual today the small crack on the fin of number 4suddenly has tripled in length running down toward the plug. Continental is sending me a whole jug by Friday . So here is the question since pulling exhaust and basically pulling most of the turbo and plumbing loose this is my plan. We are going to be down about 3 weeks since also replacing O2 bottle due to life time limit , engine time 850 we talked to main turbo today and they recommend 1000 hrs for overhaul so sending them early but not cheap 3500 each ….it’s hurts but a year early and piece of mind

If you haven’t you should check .www.aviationxai.com at Conroe Airport ..there work is corporate jet quality.

Had mine installed on my Acclaim a couple of weeks ago plus 2 new mags ( seems like the rebuild are no holding up). Just back from an 11 hr trip up thru upper Wisconsin and back . My 2009 never ran so good.

It seems like the Avonics tech may have received a message that the cards we were using was too small and he moved to a larger card but I could be wrong

Thanks for the info

Does anyone have personal reviews on using fine wire spark plugs in a turbo acclaim

I had mine updated at the Avonics shop at continental services in fair hope Alabama 4 weeks ago . There two guys said it’s the worse update they had every done. Constant failures which ended up taking better part of one day plus . I still don’t have my storm scope back and traffic so going back next week to see if we can get that fixed

I should have asked more questions but we are 90% there . Thanks

That’s good to hear and maybe they have had more experience . I’ve purchased 3 planes thru them

New software g1000 0401.37

Looking for Mooney responses on what your experience was with your annual at the mooney plant in Kerrville. I’m flying a 2009 Acclaim. thanks

Well last week I had my G1000 updated on my 2009 Acclaim at Continental motors FBO AVONICS shop in Alabama . With no help from Garmin who told the shop there it can’t be updated . Do with help from Dugosh in Kerrville who connected me with the guts over at Mooney the shop in Alabama started the update and boy was it a pain in the ass. Two days later I flew home to discover I have no traffic or storm scope . I’ll be returning in a couple of weeks to get that reloaded . Moral to the story is don’t think this is a couple of hour job , it’s difficult and Garmin is no help if your stuck
