Joe,

be honest, which do you prefer?

Michael,

The Cirrus.

But to be fair they are completely different airplanes. The comfort and the capabilities of the Cirrus comes with a price tag. The S35 is an incredibly efficient and quality airplane.

I agree with your statement on the side stick. I flew my friends SR22 and the stick was a non factor.

TN
• TN, as well as built in Oxygen, was a must have on my next plane. Fuel management could not be easier; full forward mixture on all take offs, then lean to 17.5 at cruise. On the return flight, we noticed higher CHT’s so continued to lean down to 16.5 and then 16 just to see the impact; it ran very smoothly this far lean of peak

So at 13,000 what was your TAS 17.5 gph? What kind of CHT temp.

Have you flown it higher and what TAS and FF do you get?

CURIOUS.

What does a good G3 cost with average times? With Avidyne? With Garmin?

more this year than it will next year, not that all planes won't depreciate, but every year your options will get better since production is not slowing down

$270k-$325k or so with Avidyne, add $70k-$100k for Garmin Perspective...but my experience is a few months old

makes my lancair feel like a bargain, faster, carries more, much lower acquisition/maint cost- can use experimental avionics

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.
