LANCECASPER Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 It looks like Air Conditioning should also be on the specs for this airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 It looks like Air Conditioning should also be on the specs for this airplane. I’m guessing that’s what the vents on the tail are for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Could have gone with... it has everything but the FIKI system! Nice ship! If you are tuning your spec sheet... The T/O distance @max weight looks like 310hp specs... The prop looks like a 310hp addition... The ad clearly states... 280hp... Typical 280hp O gets off the ground in 1200’ (lightly loaded) Just trying to be helpful. Happy to delete this message if it is un appreciated... Fuzzy memories of an O owner... Let me know...

000 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Refer to this aircraft's Performance & Warranty Page from the Engine Log - attached. All performance information for this aircraft was extracted from this entry. This Ovation engine is equipped with an IO-550G motor rated at 280-HP, not 310-HP. Thank you for your comments.

I also would have said the 310 STC but I guess I would have been wrong. I have not read the whole thing, but did the three bladed prop get added because of owner desire or was there another reason?

I have not read the whole thing, but did the three bladed prop get added because of owner desire or was there another reason? I think the DX (2004) was the last year of the Mac 2 blade. The top prop was used on all later models iirc. The Ovation 2 was 280 and the Ovation 3 had the stc 310. Most of the 2000-2004 2 blade units have been swapped out. They were really fast and efficient but you had to get out and push the plane down the runway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 N345US came from the factory with the 3-blade Hartzell. The seller has owned this Ovation since about 2012 and did not install an after market prop. It's original. I believe MIm20c is correct.
