However this accident on a newer airframe shows though that no matter what improvements have been made, if you go beyond the limits of the airframe, the outcome is not good on any airplane

I’d fly an original Malibu in a heartbeat. RTFM, adhere to the limitations, enjoy.

I’d own one already if it would fit in my hangar. It won’t so I don’t.

Original Malibu was best of all the PA46s. 200kts all day, quiet, smooth and designed to run LOP.

It was so far ahead of its time, and a lot of people who flew it, it had some issues. Similar to MU2, it was not the planes fault!

So I finally closed on the Meridian. It is now getting its annual and getting any airworthy items addressed by Sun Aviation in Vero Beach. I'm starting my initial training on Monday with Legacy also in Vero Beach. Hope to fly it home on the 31st.

Congratulations! You will love it. I came out of a B36TC, so I can tell you, it is a game changer.

I'll soon be putting my A36 up for sale. I'm just doing some minor cosmetics (cleaning the carpets, seats etc.). It's also due for the annual which is being done next week but the only squawk I have is the cabin door light bulb (That thing lasts only six months before it burns out - it should be replaced with an LED.)
