I recently pulled the trigger on an Acclaim, so I'm selling the bird that my family so lovingly knows as "Juliet".  She kept my little ones safe for about 8 years, and we are sad to see her go.

Also, I'm looking for a partner in the Austin or surrounding areas for the Acclaim.  If you're interested, give me a shout.

Thanks Joe!  Do you have the 310 STC?  If so, were you able to update the G1000s with the new red line?  I'm hearing that the necessary changes can me made within the G1000 configuration screens.  Any other thoughts on the STC?

I do have the 310hp STC and the G1000s got updated with the new red line. This is accomplished by making the G1000 think it's sitting in an Ovation 3, so now I have the Ovation 3 startup screen. This bothered me at first but the climb performance with the STC is so outrageous that I don't think about it any more.

I heard that Mooney now owns the STC now but I don't know if they have any plans for it. Putting it into the Acclaim Ultra would have made a lot of sense.

What's your serial number? Do you have a Type S?

That makes sense.  The startup screen would bother me too, but if the performance increase is that perceptible (I'm in Texas with no A/C...I want to climb fast), then it would definitely be worth it.  Yes, it's a Type S (SN 118).  Close on July 19th...it's going to be a long month!

Do you already have the kit for the STC? I flew mine stock for two years before installing the kit and I was blown away by the difference in takeoff and climb performance. I've climbed out of airports like Aspen and Leadville at between 1,500 - 2,000fpm in the summer with myself, my wife and half tanks on board. Last month I climbed from Petaluma airport (O69, sea level) to FL190 in 17 minutes. I was solo with full fuel and a fair amount of cargo on board. You won't be spending too much time in the hot Texas air down low!

I saw your plane on Controller and it's a beauty. Congratulations!
