Anyone flying the Carenado M20R Ovation?

Mine stands and collects dust at the far end of the hangar, maybe it's time to take it out in the sun for a while again.

Four flights with mine this morning, other than the idle problem, it flies great, and looks good too. 200 mph is pretty cool too .

Ray,   quick personal question if you don't mind.

Are you the author of this draft review of the Carenado Mooney?   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FazltkVlPERwA7DyAAyLOcBwRZzTvDAt/view

If so, I believe you sent it to me long ago.    Rather enjoyed the insider info, either way.   Great read for Mooney drivers,  probably Bonanza drivers too.

Yes, that is me.  I am an old time Mooney driver from way back when.  Glad you enjoyed the draft.  I had planned on publishing it but, Carenado was slow at correcting many of the initial glitches so I just stopped writing and made it available.

Regards,

Ray

I just noticed that the rudder trim doesn't seem to work. There is a takeoff setting for it, but I can't seem to get the indicator to move by pressing the toggle button on the panel.

Cool - that one's mine.  You can change the registration too if you want.  I don't think I ever mentioned that...they're just Carenado's tail number system, much like Asobo.

Also, if anyone needs a little more power I recommend this turbocharged mod for the Mooney.  Maybe a little overkill in the lower altitude stratum but it's nice to have the option.

Does it do anything to fix the idle speed?

Thanks Ryan, I will give this a try.  Faster and higher are always good things.  Thanks for the link.

Yes, it fixes the idle cutoff problem, but the idle RPM stays too high, IMO.

Yeah, it's a shame the way Carenado, once they have your money, really drags their feet on fixing issues.
