You asked!Michael said:Oh man, why did you all have to point me to mooney.com
Ok, i gotta have one.
Like Lance said, the one at Sun-'n-fun (that I also saw) did not have KI certification, but may very well have in the future.Michael said:whats the acclaim? is that moonys version of a k car?

Steve said:wow...they just now caught up with 20 yr old technology...
Iceman said:Yep it's like a new 911 turbo, they still make that crap out of metal...talk about a 100 year old design, why don't they just call it a model T. I'm so tired of the domestic car companies still making cars with 4 wheels. We all want new designs, lets make them with 10 wheels!
I myself like quality hand made things. I'm proud as heck to fly in a Mooney that has ~4,000 quality US manhours in it!
Steve said:I admire your patience in waiting for the innovations made by the experimental segment of aviation wend they way into "certified" designs. I know the stockholders do, too.
I was talking to the president of Columbia about the KI issue at the AOPA Expo in Tampa last year. He said the Columbia's deice won't ever be KI because he doesn't want to insidiously tempt pilots into thinking it's anything but an emergency out.TMetzinger said:This may be preaching to the choir - and I'll apologize - but it seems every winter I read about a few more examples of folks who die overestimating their known ice systems. As Dirty Harry said: "A Man's got to know his limitations".
Dave Siciliano said:This is one of the reasons I went to the P-Baron.
In the A-36 there were seveal times where conditions merited giving the weather a try: lots of outs, no icing reported but conditions conducive, etc. Some of these forcasts are for multi state areas. geesh!
Had I encountered any icing and had issues arise, I was technically illegal. At least in the Baron, it would be careless and reckless, huh?

Then why do their ads for it say "Simply push a button and let your worries melt away"? (AOPA Pilot, February 2006, p. 45) That sounds to me like a lot more than an insidious temptation -- more like an outright invitation to fly into icing without worry.Ken Ibold said:I was talking to the president of Columbia about the KI issue at the AOPA Expo in Tampa last year.
