...to part ways with the Ovation3 that I love and cherish - sometimes more than life itself. Like many of us in this position, family/personal and work situations have changed (mainly for the better), and "it's now that time". My goal - and some may say I'm being unreasonable - is for this airplane to go to a truly-dedicated current or future Ovation pilot who will carry on my legacy of impeccable maintenance and pedigree. It needs to be hangared, maintained, and treated as a priority in someone's life by someone with the means to do so. Anything less - I politely suggest looking elsewhere or considering another airplane. What many don't know about me is that I happen to be very particular about who owns these airplanes, how they're flown, and how they're maintained. It's a fault that I openly admit, but one for which I offer no apology. Having said that, and climbing down off my soapbox, have a read through the description, look at the pictures, and reach out if you have additional questions. Taking out the "emotional value" that many of us feel in a position like this, my asking price is based on several inputs from the professional community as of late, as well as valuation tools available to all of us. It does not necessarily reflect the volatility of the market as we've all observed today. I have just started scanning logbooks, and need a few more days to complete them, so I will update here (and/or update anyone directly who reaches out and asks for them) when they are ready to be sent out. Thanks for looking, and please reach out with questions...preferably via PM, and we can chat via e-mail or phone or both moving forward. -Steve N2145X Full Spec Sheet No damage history – No corrosion – Hangared since new – One previous owner (who also hangared the airplane since new) 1851 TTAF – Complete logs since new Engine – 826 since factory reman (Continental IO550-N8B 310HP, 2700RPM, 2200-hour TBO) (installed 6/2014) Prop – 826 since new Hartzell PHC-J3YF-1RF /F7498 (Acclaim Type-S) (installed 6/2014) Garmin G500Txi with synthetic vision + Jeppesen ChartView unlock (installed 2/2021) Garmin GTN750xi + Jeppesen ChartView unlock (installed 7/2020) Garmin GTN650xi (installed 7/2020) Garmin GFC500 autopilot (4 servos – pitch, roll, pitch trim, yaw damper) (installed 2/2021) Garmin GI275 ADAHRS backup ADI (installed 2/2021) Garmin GDL69 XM weather Garmin GSB15 dual USB charger – 3.0A ports (installed 7/2020) L3-Harris Lynx NGT9000+ Mode-S Extended Squitter (ES) ADSB 978 and 1090 In/Out TCAS/TAS/Active Traffic JPI EDM930 engine monitor (installed 7/2020) CIES digital fuel senders PS Engineering PMA-450A audio panel Bose/LEMO plugs at all four seats Mid-Continent MD-93 digital clock TKS known ice-equipped (windscreen, prop, heated stall warn, ice light, 20A standby alternator).
