V1VRV2 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Just picked up my ‘new to me’ 2002 Ovation 2! N191KT PPI went well enough. Everything important was in excellent condition. A list of small to medium issues that need attending too like an expired oxygen bottle that needs replacement, gear no-back spring needs replacement, needs new ELT, some wiring connector issue with the lights in the left wingtip. Flew her home... OSH-PBG. 4:10 min. She flies true! Thank you again to all who helped me. All the information I gathered to make my decision was contributed by Mooneyspace members by phone, private messaging, and searching the archives. What an incredible community! 9

gsxrpilot Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Congrats on acquiring a wonderful airplane. And welcome to our little club. I'm sure that Ovation will do that same trip direct once you have the O2 bottle sorted out. 1

I'm sure that Ovation will do that same trip direct once you have the O2 bottle sorted out. We made it OSH - PBG without a fuel stop with 30 gallons onboard at destination running ROP. Wanted to stay out of Canadian airspace since I’m not insured there. Would have liked to have gone higher but yeah... oxygen bottle! Thanks all!
