I'm happy with my Ovation....

Full seats and full enough fuel...

If you get one, get it with all the power and fuel available... 310hp and 100+gals...

Then on days with less dollars available, fly it LOP...

Just sayin'

As for OG ops... Whip out the iPads this week, W&B and density altitude checks are good summer exercises...

Gary,

I over baked the results...

The O is good, but not a miracle worker.

Full fuel goes a long way with two people. And far enough with four...

I took my own advice and updated WnB for the two in the back. They have grown full size this year, but still under the weight that the FAA calls standard.

Best regards,

Pilot and passenger each 210 lbs, 88gals fuel, 25lbs in the rear is over gross.  Would need to start out with 75 gals to be legal which will take you a long way.  If I am alone, top off at 102 gals and skip lunch I am just under gross.  That would be about 1100nm.

After all these years since Al built a single-seat Mite, we have come full circle, with a single-seat Ovation. ;)
