DaveC Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 A local pilot here in Georgetown, TX who moved up from a short body. I don't believe he's on this forum and has only been a pilot for a couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL757 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Dave, sorry you had to sell (but hope things will - or are - working out for you for the best). I do hope your buyer’s couple of years’ experience prepared him well for ownership of the Ovation. It’s a lot of airplane for the lesser-experienced, so really hope he’s approaching (no pun intended) his transition training from someone well-versed in the airplane. If he’s moving up from a short body, that should fill some training gaps so the transition would be smoother. Again, hope all is working out well,for you.

gsxrpilot Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Would you be willing to PM me his name or contact details? I'll invite him to join the local Mooney community of pilots, or maybe he already is. 1 hour ago, DaveC said: A local pilot here in Georgetown, TX who moved up from a short body.

DaveC Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Steve, He had a good instructor for transition training - me. I owned the plane for 12 years and put in Aspens, Avidynes, EDM-930, etc, etc, so nobody knew the IFR systems better than me. I'm also a CFIA/CFII with 30K+ hours, so after about 12 hours of training in all aspects, I signed off a flight review for him. He's doing well, just needs more time to get really comfortable, but didn't we all when we got a new plane. He flies safely and is very conservative with his IFR personal minimums, so he'll do fine. Haven't been to KISP since I retired from SWA. Paul, I'll be talking to the new owner today or tomorrow and see if he wants me to forward his info to you.

carusoam Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 So Dave... I was always wondering... What comes next? What is the next step? What comes after M20R? I’m holding on to this last step as hard as I can... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 -a- There is no next. Fifty years and 30K+ hours is enough. Loved the Ovation2, but moved to Texas from AZ and couldn't find a nearby hangar. I was driving 45 minutes to a crappy hangar in Lampasas with dirt floors and a lip that was very difficult to get over. In addition, the 'boss' was becoming a nervous flyer every time we hit a bump. All good things must eventually come to an end and I didn't want such a nice plane to languish, so I found a new home for it here in Georgetown. The new owner is giving me visitation rights, so maybe I can right shotgun for approaches or an occasional breakfast. Dave 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
