I am hoping that this new little Cirrus Jet will become very very popular bringing V-tails back into the mainstream making all of our V-tail Bonanza's more desirable and valuable than they all ready are!! http://cirrusaircraft.com/static/wallpa ... 0x1024.jpgScott, Some folks here do have an opinion about the SF50. For example, you might want to check out the thousand begillion posts in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=100102

Cirrus has no idea but they're going to be bankrupt as soon as it's released. Anyone considering the SF50 would be much better off with a 30 year old twin. Parachute. You are wrong, again.  Joking. Once we see some "saves" coming from the Chute, you will not be able to get one. In fact, if I was Marketing Director I would sacrifice 10 aircraft and have the test pilot pull the chute in different configurations while being filmed. Game, set, match.

I haven't run across an airplane, yet, that is crash-proof.
