L. Trotter Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Looking for an Acclaim to replace my Ovation 3. TKS is a must. Don't care about WAAS. Budget around 350k. I do have a couple major brokers looking. If you know some one who may want to sell....I'm very interested. 1 Quote
Roger O Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Sorry, I don't have a plane lead for you, but I just noticed the name of your base, and the FAA official who allowed an airport to be identified as KRAP should get a prize! 5 Quote
ArtVandelay Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Have you considered Bravos, there are some certified for FIKI? Quote
carusoam Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I want one too.... There was one for sale around here a year or so ago... don't know what ever happened to it... Best regards, -a- Quote

Coming in from the ESE, my wife pointed at the 430 and said "it SUX to go to KRAP." VOR naming can be as bad as airport naming . . . Good luck in your search. Have you contacted Premier Aircraft? They still have an office in Auburn, AL, a half hour drive from here. I'm heading to Auburn soon, I may pop in and check. Quote
gsengle Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I've flown into KRAP with an Ovation. I know why you want a turbo. Holy KRAP!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Mcstealth Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 According to Andy, there should be dozens of these available with only 150 hours total time. 1 Quote

That is a very entertaining observation! I have been based out of Rapid City for 15 years and never noticed this probable over site. I have said "crap" more than once during a tough approach in winter ice with 50kt winds down the run way and never realized my copilot was probably thinking I was referring to the airport identifier.

Yes, I have considered the Bravo. Whether a valid concern or not, I was not excited about the Lycoming costs for overhaul. Also, I have really grown to love the G1000 set up with the GFC700 auto pilot. I have seen some very beautiful Bravo's with nice updated panels. I just seem partial to a little newer plane....personal preference. Quote

The TN is a great package. 2 Quote
Showmethemooney Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 I know it has been a while since you posted your interest in a TKS Acclaim but I want to let you know that I just posted my Acclaim for sale. It does have damage history but it was fixed right and that was over 5 years ago. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/23156-2007-mooney-acclaim-tks-fiki-waas-gfc-700/ Quote
