I'm going to Sun N Fun tomorrow. Anyone who is there just PM me and I'll get the notification on tapatalk.

Going with a coworker who has a 78 182 at ZPH. Will be looking to buy a new Ovation with zero down, zero payments for sixty months. Wish me luck.

it's the balloon payment of $799,000 at the end that gets you.

Sixty months is plenty of time to join several lottery pools! ☺️

just left there today....Mooney tent weak....no merchandise hats/ t shirts etc to buy........spent 20 minutes there over two days looking at the Ovation and the hybrid mock up of the new models...nothing exciting....

 

Oh,,,,, they had some cheap luggage tags and some mooney stickers.......

 

rest of the show was great.....lots of people........great turn out.....enjoyed talking to vendors in person that I spoke with all year long on the phone.....

 

not sure I would fly in again.....I parked in the vintage area and they decided not to cut the grass where the planes park.....brilliant move.....

 

Also it was IMC this morning and they called it VFR conditions.  I filed IFR and when I was true IMC about 1 minute after departure a couple of RV's flew under me not even 200 feet from me in the clouds/fog....Also Tampa departure callout other traffic about 1 mile from me and I was total IMC...There was no way they were VMC......in my opinion it was not safe.......nor legal....BWTFDIK.......

 

Where are you supposed to do run ups?......

Anyone have a PIREP on the Aspen AoA?

the big answer is 2 amu's. It looks nice, and they have a point if you are looking down checking your airspeed, it is right there in your line of sight. Personally, I think they might be a bit proud of a simple software download. I paid less than that for a seat of AutoCAD back in the day. Maybe I just haven't been Garminized enough yet....

I bought a used 696 and 300GNC. I paid $800 for a a GDL39 and canceled my XM subscription. (Long since paid for itself). Bunch of crybabies on the pricing. Wait. A new driver costs $350. A year later it is $99 bucks with a little wear. Avionics don't HAVE to be expensive. AOA and ADS-B? I am in a holding pattern. I have plenty of fuel. One salvage away from a second hand bargain.

Holding pattern as well, lots of fuel will wait and hope like most tech prices should drop. Even if they don't I am certain I will end up with a more capable product for the same cost. If they would just allow a portable solution then all would be right

Oops wrong thread
