While far from brain surgery, you could do a nice recovering job with the same money. Quote

scottfromiowa Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 No egos on Mooney Space. No sir. No way. No how... I can't afford one. I own an airplane. Quote
Kwixdraw Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 So you're saying the sleazy place in Florida contracted with AirMod in Ohio to do the work that they installed? AirMod in Ohio is packin' a pretty good reputation and has done quite a few of the AOPA's sweepstake airplanes because of the quality of their work. Are any of you Danes 'cause this is starting to fail the sniff test for me. Quote

jelswick Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I don't know how Air Mods in Houston compares to Air Mods in Batavia, OH (Sporty's airport), but the one in Batavia would run you about that $20K and while when I refinished my last two interiors I had to go to other shops because I couldn't justify a $20K interior, Air Mods is probably one of the best in the country. We sold a few planes done by them and I've yet to see nicer interiors. You open the door on an aircraft they've done and you know who did the interior; they're that good! And they don't just recover, they normally do new aluminum as well to mount the interior to. Take a look at the photos in the link and at the Mooneys and other models. Their cloth interiors are nicer than most leather interiors I've seen. They're unique and I'm sure that's why AOPA has used them to redo interiors. If I ever hit the numbers and money is no object for me, I'd have them do my Mooneys interior in a heartbeat, but for now, I go to shops that are in the $5-7K range and that's also what we expected when having airplanes refinished in prep to sell.

scottfromiowa Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 There is a blue 231 on Ebay with a new "Ferrari-like" interior. Anyone know what shop does these? I think it's beautiful. Quote
PTK Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Hey Fantom, pardon me Sir. I don't think I was rubbing anything in. And I sure I don't think I was caustic. I was simply commenting on an observation. I think you'll agree that there is too many of these disgruntled situations. Either with "experts" "selling" airplanes collecting deposits with no intent to sell an airplane, or a paint shop that was paid 10 grand and delivered no airplane with the poor owner having to go to another paint shop, or this instance when this poor fellow got ripped off in a major way or avionics shops performing inferior installs, etc. My comment was that maybe we as buyers of these services are being too naive and not doing our due diligence. Is this rubbing it in and caustic??!! I don't think so fantom! I don't know why you feel the need to apologize. If anyone should apologize it should be me if I offended anyone by my comments. If I did I sincerely wholeheartedly apologize!! Now are you going to apologize about your not so funny dental jokes??!! Quote

flyboy0681 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Gary, I'd be curious to see what your interior currently looks like. Can you post a picture or two? Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Quote: fantom Back on topic, I'm finally having my interior done by Aero Comfort next month. Not to worry, smiles, it will be WAY less the 19.4 AMU's. Quote

jelswick Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Agree with Parker. That's a beautiful paint job on Gary's J and like what they did with one of the trim lines which makes it unique. And it will soon have a great matching interior. Quote
flyboy0681 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 TIS is definitely on its way out and several cities have already dropped offline. There is a publication out there with the schedule but you'll have to search for it. My GTN750 should be ready next week - sans remote audio and transponder. The thinking here is that should the GTN freeze up or fail (or go back to Garmin for whatever reason), that means all of the other systems are rendered inoperable. We are taking a wait and see approach to see just how reliable the new equipment is. Quote
