Ovation acquisition

[FJC]

Hi everyone. I can finally stop kicking tires and truly be part of the club.

Eternal thanks goes to Richard Simile and Don Kaye for their expert guidance and sticking with me despite my numerous questions! I could not have done this without them both.

I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Now I need to build time and experience. 

 

Another thank you goes out to others in MS who answered questions and helped me home my selection. 

I hope I can pay back.

Way to go Freddy!

Those are two awesome Mooniacs to work with...several decades of experience combined or apiece...   

Do you have a CO monitor?

Not needed, but good luck to have...

Best regards,

No CO monitor currently but will invest

The guys and gals on this message board are indispensable assets to the Mooney community! Without this place we’re just guys with planes! I found the same generous help when I was looking for my Ovation 2 this past summer. Welcome Ovation brotha from anotha motha! 

[MarkD34M]

Congratulations! Can you share the N number? She looks very nice. 

[GeeBee]

Nice purchase! Is that RHV I see?

[Mufflerbearing]

Congrats!  The O's are amazing planes!  Enjoy your plane and this amazing community.  Being a part of this community, sharing your experiences good and bad, is how to give back.

Having an Ovation is a lot like having sex...after every flight you get that "post-O glow!"

Freddy, we spoke back in Dec. last year.  Now "we" can start working on YOUR dream panel.  :-)

Seriously, if you need anything, give a shout.  Congratulations on the purchase.

I can always count on Anthony to do my dirty work. Thanks!

 Now order a CO detector

This has to be the stupidist and funniest thing I have ever read on here.

[carusoam]

Niko,

It gets even funnier when you have met the MSers and know them a bit better...  

Best regards,

Yes. Although a return call from avionics shop is sorely needed. They must be doing 6 figure+ upgrades and 5 figures are way down on the list? 

[StevenL757]

Yeah, my shop always calls back their clients (albeit a few days’ delay sometimes when they get really busy), but as of late, they’re running behind by a bit longer.  They get about 3 to 6 quote requests a day and are booked out currently until June for any work expected to take longer than 1 to 3 days.
