co2bruce Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Posted July 17, 2017 We had the interior totally refurbished, and some avionics changes. Don't think there was much of a change. Quote

fantom Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 Bruce...it's a kick in the gut to sell that beauty. I'm about a year away, health wise, from jumping on it. 2 Quote
co2bruce Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Posted July 17, 2017 Looking for A/C and a little more room for the wifey. Looked at Mirage (ouch), Matrix (really not the right plane for our mission), and now looking at Bonanzas. Funny thing is the Mooney caries 100-150 lbs less at more speed and faster for half the price. Not sure what I'm going to do. Quote

I just did the same thing with my seats a few weeks ago. Aero Comfort is amazing. My new seats must be a little heavier but there was no weight and balance change. Quote

carusoam Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Bruce, Got a picture of the Aspen with the SV up? It might be helpful to display all its functionality. The panel is so nicely appointed. Best regards, -a- Quote

Just install A/C, it make it so much more comfortable! The 30K for installation will be less than a transition cost of another plane. The Bonanza is not going to give the wife any more room unless she sits in the back. If she's willing to sit in the back than just pull out the co-pilot seat in the Mooney, on the Mooney website they used to have it shown as the executive seating. 1 Quote

If she's willing to sit in the back than just pull out the co-pilot seat in the Mooney, on the Mooney website they used to have it shown as the executive seating. I flew a Bo for a while between an F and R model Mooney. I found the Bo an excellent plane and very easy to load with the rear doors. It was easier to fly and more stable as well. The useful load was about 200lbs more than the R and 100 more than the F. But the extra fuel penalty took about 120lbs of that (18gph compared to 13) on a 4-5 hour flight. I found the Bo to be extremely limited in range and payload. But more comfortable to fly and easier to move around the cabin. Especially after I took out the 2 extra seats because I couldn't load them with butts (due to weight). If I went back to a Bo, I would make sure it had the tip tanks, which increase payload and fuel quantity. +1 on the A/C. I have it on my R now and can't imagine flying without it anymore, especially in the SE. Quote

Being 6'4" and having the seat on top of the spar it puts my head into the ceiling. My kids are growing fast enough that I'm keeping my eyes open for the next plane. As you mentioned the fuel penalty is the killer in a Bo. My kids will be physically big to so between family physical size and fuel the Bo will not be the option. I think my next plane will have to be one of the not so sexy 210's. Quote
co2bruce Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Posted July 19, 2017 Price drop, really clean, well maintained aircraft. True cruise at 185 kts at 8000 on 17gps. Great useful load. If your thinking about an Ovation this may be even better. Quote
