You are a very wise Mooney person!  ;-)

  • The newer Ovations have cup holders moulded into the console, but in my 2005 model they're an attached projection waiting to be damaged, and I broke one of mine with an awkward slide across into the left hand seat.  I searched on Ebay where they're around AUD$15.00 (with free postage), and here in Australia I found them at a Marine Store (Whitworths) for about AUD$7.95.

My wife always wanted an airplane with cupholders but wouldn't release the $500K required to buy one. So I bought one of those in the picture for $9 from Amazon and stuck it on the lower console of my K with velcro.  It works great and she loves it. It stays folded up and out of the way unless she has a drink in it.  I think I got the idea from Amelia on this board.

Hey you guys...............wait a minute!!  Stop spending so much less money on non-Mooney parts!  :P

These are the real things from MOONEY!!  Really, they are!!  Authentic non-Harbor Freight, Amazon, Dollar Store, etc, cup holders!!

You could add them to your equipment list as real Mooney parts.

Come on, you know you need these............... :wacko:

These are the most expensive cup holders you'll never buy!  

Ive decided to install them instead, in my 1989 Toyota pick- up!  :P [tongue in cheek!]

Have a great Mooney flying  day everyone !!!

This is exactly what I have been using for the past five years. At the time I bought five of them, thinking they will break with great regularity. I still have four of them in my drawer.

The coffee cup holder in my Ovation broke after hitting it with my foot.   Does anyone know where I can purchase another one?  The one I had is exactly like the one pictured above.

Thanks.

I am curious about this too.  Mine has an ashtray but not cup holder.  I guess priorities were different in '95

Hi Paul, where did you mount yours? I doesn't get kicked off while getting into the pilot seat?

I put mine in the same location as others have shown.  I used Goop to glue them on though.  I’ve broken one when I kicked it during turbulence.  Lee
