205 KTAS nice. Wow look at those CHT temps. Clicked on it and got a better photo. Thanks Gary

That's about what I see, then subtract 2 KTAS for each 1k feet lower.

I'll betcha $50 you'll be back in a Bo at some time in the future. I'll betcha a $100 that you'll regret selling your Bo.

If you'd made me the same bets, you'd be $50 up. But I've regretted selling every plane I've had. I'll never be back in a Bo.

After over a year in the SR, I believe it will be the last travel plane I'll buy. If another, it will be another with a chute, or a twin.

While I have regrets not having the Bo, I have no regrets moving to the SR.

Some day, I'll buy a tail dragger for low and slow fun.


Will it have a chute?

I was thinking a pair of good strong bungee cords and a square parachute strapped to the top; or maybe a ram-air, so I could head back toward the house. ;)

It's counterintuitive to suppose that that airspeed and efficiency can be obtained with the gear legs hanging out, but apparently Cirrus has addressed the aerodynamic issues such that they're just a 2 or 3 kt penalty (as I understand...).
It really is easy to fly, if you watch airspeed. That's the key for a good landing, and also to avoid the base-to-final stall, for which Cirrus is noted. It's not hard to do of course, but it's just not forgiving of forgetting that little detail of airspeed!
I'm a late-to-the-party aviator. Got my private 8 yrs ago at age 52, so probably not as quick to learn as the young sprouts. However, I have consistently better landings in the SR 22 as the C206. I think it's because of attention to the detail knowing how important correct airspeed is in the SR22, whereas in the C products I catch myself just "slopping it down to the runway", (nearly) anything will work just fine. :eek:
Did I mention that AIRSPEED IS EVERYTHING??!!
One more point; the side stick is absolutely a non-issue, for those of us who normally fly with the left hand. No doubt would take some getting used to for those who fly with the right hand.
