carusoam Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Wow, that was brief Ray... time flys at Mooney speeds... There are a few people looking for Long Body Mooneys recently around here... and so few Acclaims available... It might make sense to talk with Jimmy at all American aircraft to work out the sale and downsizing to a J.... that can really minimize the potential hassle of buying and selling multiple Mooneys... Your Acclaim is awesome. What is the next step for you? Best regards, -a- Quote
Firehawk335 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Hello, I’ve been considering upgrading to a Type S and I have a J model. My plane is a 1987 M20J, I don’t know the exact hours but around 5000 total and 1250 on the engine. Flown regularly. 3 panel Aspen, Garmin Stack, Stec 55x, flight director, alt pre-select. I’m interested in your real world numbers to see if it makes sense for me. If you could providE Max Cruise and Economy Cruise speeds and fuel burn at 6k, 12k, 18k, 24k for your bird that would help. And rate of Climb up to 24k. Thanks, -Chip 1 Quote

carusoam Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 Welcome aboard, Chip! I’ll let @Schllc know you are looking... You might want to just grab some data off the Mooney website... while you wait. The Acclaim is pretty much the top of the line TNIO550 with wings... So... If you like... 1) speed 2) efficiency Go Mooney! Then we can get you to the next level and ask specific questions about this particular bird... Are you a fan of the Pontiac FireHawk? Best regards, -a- Quote
Schllc Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Posted July 3, 2019 Firehawk, i responded directly to you, check your messages. Quote
Ovation1! Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Hello, I was wandering if you’ve sold the 2007 Acclaim? I have an Ovation now, many years ago I had a 231 and then a TLS. Please respond to my email because I don’t frequent this site. Thanks and I hope things work out well for you. I moved to a 58 Baron when the kids came along, I understand your situation!! Quote
MIm20c Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 He listed it on Beechtalk today so I assume it’s still available. Good luck. Quote
Ovation1! Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Thanks, is there any way to contact him directly? I’m not good with these forums.... Quote
carusoam Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 @Ovation1! your answer just came in... ^^^^ Better send a message quick... it’s a beautiful Acclaim! I’d love to have a pair of snails on an IO550. Best regards, -a- Quote
Gagarin Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 But, but $365K and no pilot relief tube. Quote

Schllc Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Posted October 18, 2019 Hahahahaha Yeah, because that’s the same thing. Quote

Well just make sure the bottle is secured on your holster with the cap on A way to brag at the FBO about your $365K plane. Edited October 18, 2019 by Gagarin Quote

Schllc Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Posted October 18, 2019 Take it easy on the little fella. I suspect the one plane he flew in had a relief tube so he thinks all of them have them. Or maybe they do and the 1000 or so I’ve looked at or flown in we’re just oddballs and didnt have them. Somebody should send a memo to cirrus, Mooney, beech, diamond, piper and Cessna and tell them to knock off few hundred thousand until they install relief tubes as MEL 1 Quote
mike_elliott Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 I have spent a bunch of time in this plane, and when Chris owned her, she was well taken care of by a first class person. Quote
Schllc Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Posted October 18, 2019 Thanks mike. it’s been great to me too, and I maintain it the same way. if I could keep my kids little I wouldn’t sell it! 1 Quote

On my old Ford Falcon I had relief hose thru the floor for when I was in heavy traffic in snow at 15F on my way to Chicago from Schaumburg every morning going to work. Some of my coworkers had the same arrangement. Always be prepared because you could be stuck in traffic with two semis on your side for hours. Edited October 18, 2019 by Gagarin Quote
