New sub, sorry about all your recent losses. Look forward to the upcoming content.

[@rmp5s]

280hp...jeez...that's some oomph!! No wonder these are so fast!!

[@coltonbockmusic]

fun fact, you have my grandpas plane, he owned it in the early 2000s in midland tx

[@rmp5s]

HA! How cool is that!?

[@PilotFun101]

That’s awesome 👍. She is an awesome plane. ✈️

[@rjbishop12]

Nice plane- looking good. Music volume is ridiculously loud- almost blew out my speakers. Tone it down please, it doesn't need to be that loud!

[@kimberlywentworth9160]

I love the yokes.

[@markseifried3959]

Thanks for the reply to my question. it looks like you bought well with the 750. Good Flying to you!

[@brianpotts4144]

Condolences

[@jsawyer1181]

Sorry for your loss. Love the airplane. Just a nice and sleek style.

[@420Donnelly]

Sorry for your loss, but congratulations for the purchase of N2183A...she's a beauty

[@kimberlywentworth9160]

Very pretty airplane.

[@AC-jk8wq]

Way Cool Chris! Go O! Just like the M20C… but more Mooney! 😃 - a -

[@PilotFun101]

Thanks.

[@TheBarzook]

Sorry for the ones you lost. Man I love my J but that Ovation sure has very interesting features! Too many to list. Congratulations!

[@battshytkrazy156]

Looking FABULOUS 👌 👏 👍

[@emilberesford]

Great video!! Might have to updgrade from my J, the 275s and the 500 autopilot wound be a great addition

[@markdowell619]

Beautiful M20R Ovation Chris.. my fist time watching your videos but enjoyed it and plan to catch more!

[@BigMike10960]

Nice plane! I live south of you in Rockland

[@md4droid]

So sorry for the loss of your Mom and your friend. My condolences to all involved. What an amazing aircraft that Ovation is! It just looks fast. Can't wait to see more content.

[@christopherlee3775]

❤

[@juanitoibericoloveless2879]

merci

[@Farmer_El]

The Mooney looks like the kind of plane I'd fly if I were a pilot.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day from Sydney Australia. Nice Mooney Ovation "1999" look forward to seeing your flying and have a look at the engine with its 12v accessories. 🌏🇭🇲

[@emellina1]

Hey Chris - glad you are back and so so sorry for your losses. Look forward to your new adventures in the Ovation.

[@mocha2168]

Chris, sorry to hear about your Mom. Condolences to you and your family. Great bird and nice overview. Looking forward to seeing you at this year's fly in.

[@susansticazsky9787]

Awesome this my favorite aircraft!!

[@andresnieto37]

Congrats from Colombia! Mooney airplanes are amazing and this is my favorite model from it. Keep flying, the spirits of your loved ones will help you to carry on. Stay strong!

[@rodolfocastro3222]

Congrats on the new purchase! Looking forward to more videos including the operating costs compared to the C and other models. 👏🏽

[@rodolfocastro3222]

And my sincere condolences for your losses 🙏🏽

[@Do-Twice]

Good to see ya! Sorry for your losses!! Fly high with those spirits as they will definitely be with ya!

[@christopherlee3775]

Thank you.

[@robertjongen7615]

Do not just replace the wing walk. AvGas vapor finds it way through the Philips screws and dissolves the glue of the wing walk. Put some liquid seal (avgas compatible) on the screws (after you loose them slightly to reach under the screwheads). This fixed the problem on my Mooney. Good luck!

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you!

[@mpgeraghty]

Congratulations on the new bird. Looking forward to watching your adventures

[@Rosspilot]

Beautiful plane, Chris . . . yeah, I'm a little jealous . . . :-)

[@PilotFun101]

Thank you!

[@paulbickley658]

Nice...

[@jononioo2857]

Sorry for your loss. Keep your head up and keep flying

[@christopherlee3775]

Thank you 🙏

[@billyplew6004]

you should go the dynon route for your panel way cheaper install and price then garmin with more compatibility and a simple yet customizable layout

[@halo7ification]

I'm so happy to see you post again. I love the airplane

[@christopherlee3775]

Thanks! Hope to see you soon.

[@sagobhago]

Loved the introduction to your Mooney. I’m getting ready to upgrade to an ovation soon. Will be in touch

[@darryletillman7995]

Congratulations on the new bird. It looks like she's a keeper.

[@christopherlee3775]

She is and thank you

[@cscarbr2]

Hey man, I’m sorry to hear about the tragedies In your life but what a plane you are working with now. Glad you are back and looking forward to following along with your adventures!

[@christopherlee3775]

👍

[@JKRacing24]

Awesome plane!

[@christopherlee3775]

Thanks

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Chris How much did u pay for your new Mooney?

[@wprnpublicradio]

Its pronounced (Standing) Ovation- OVA-SHUN

[@user-lp9pv4bu8h]

you cooooollll

[@markseifried3959]

Thanks. Do you know the difference between an Ovation, Ovation2 and Ovation3. I can't get the dealers/sales folks to tell me. Thx.

[@PilotFun101]

Same plane. The only difference really in the ovation 3 is the 310hp at 2700 RPMs and you can take off with the AC on if you have that option. it comes standard with the Gamin G1000 panel and Garmin GFC-700 digital auto pilot. The Ovation 2 comes with the Garmin 530 and 430. That’s the only difference between the Ovation and the ovation 2. The ovation came with Bendix/King Radio/ GPS

[@CharlesReiche]

Easy to pop an Aspen in there and ditch your vacuum system.

[@TheBarzook]

The speed brakes probably work on vacuum too, it's quite the upgrade to go electric with the speed brake.

[@CharlesReiche]

@@TheBarzook this vintage Mooney has Precise Flight electric speed brakes.

[@PilotFun101]

@@TheBarzook This one has electric speed brakes. Nice to have. So the vacuum will be gone. 😀

[@waltermengden8927]

Which do you like better - IFD 540 or GTN750

[@PilotFun101]

It’s a very hard decision. The IFD is easier when your flying an approach on how it puts the next fix and distance on the right side of the screen along with the GPS. The 750 does not have that option. So you have to go in and out of screens. Garmins graphics are a little better. It’s really a toss up for me. For the price difference the IFD all day.

[@russellesimonetta9071]

How much??

[@sagobhago]

Is yours 280 or 310hp? I want to find out if it’s worth it to convert to 310hp. It’s around $5000

[@PilotFun101]

No. It’s the 280hp. I didn’t want to upgrade when I got the the governor overhauled. I might in the future. TBO goes down to 1700 with the 310. Goes to 2700 RPMs instead of 2500

[@mencken8]

I gave up at 2:00; can’t handle the soundtrack.

[@747driver3]

“Ovay -shun”. NOT “Ovay-zhun”. (Non similar to invasion). Also….the gauges are analog…..not dialogue. Plan $10,000 to replace ALL the engine instrument gauges when any ONE of them fails. They are non-serviceable.

[@robertsaathoff9481]

What is it with You Tubers and music. Irritating. Just get on with things.

[@gustavoarios]

The music was so annoying I had to just leave • Gorgeous airplane, deplorable music.
