RoundTwo Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I just saw these new Aveo tips over on a Mooney FB page. They’re not cheap, but sure are sexy! 1 Quote
toto Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Interesting - do they have any photos of these installed on a Mooney? Quote

KSMooniac Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I put 650's on my J, and two years later ended up adding their first model of wing tips and don't regret it. It took about 30 minutes to sell my Orions for ~70% of retail at OSH at our Caravan tent. Sent from my motorola edge plus 2023 using Tapatalk Quote

They are definitely cool looking, but they aren’t new. N252AD was the first Mooney with them about 7 ? Years ago Paul had them installed by JD over at SWTA. @gsxrpilot Quote

The picture below shows the original version. 1 Quote

Pinecone Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 It would still depend on the price for these. Quote

LANCECASPER Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Back about 7 years ago they were +/-2500 Quote

FlyingScot Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 for M20R? The Aveo Tips weren't I thought. Quote
KSMooniac Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 These new ones should drop-in for all of the modern long bodies. I wish I had these new ones instead of the first-gen I installed! Those were ~$2500 a couple of years ago for me. This new version looks fantastic. Quote
LANCECASPER Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 With the rate that people have hangar rash, accidents, etc., my guess is that the original Mooney wingtips should bring $750 each on the used market, which would help cut the price a little. Quote
Boilermonkey Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Hey sales guy. If you have a new product that isn't on your website, you might want to mention what aircraft it fits in. Like a M20M. And price.... Quote

If not, we should invite them Quote

RoundTwo Posted April 14 Author Report Posted April 14 I stopped by the Aveo booth at Sun ‘n Fun, with drool dripping from the corners of my mouth, hoping to see the new Mooney tips. Not so. They did have the tips for the Cardinal, but not the Mooney models. In talking to their Business Development and Marketing guy, Jakub Gregor, he said it will likely be into 2025 before we see anything to touch. These products are not their main business, so they get attention when it’s not consumed by more rewarding objectives. Quote

Hope you have lawyers on retainer! Quote
