It’ll go faster if you pull the overspeed breaker.

Looks a lot like a GIII.

11,800lbs is little? It’s a GIII from the landing gear handle and the EFIS. Or a highly modified II

Sorry, I did not see the X10.

As in Price X 10, Cost X 10...

Started reading this thread around a year or so ago. Couldn't stop thinking about the legacy citations. Read this whole thread multiple times since then. I've known MT for years. Finally decided to pull the trigger and MT comes through again just like he does. Proud owner of a 501 now! Keep this thread alive
:rock:

Awesome - post some pics! How's the new ride?

Congrats JD. I didn’t buy a 501 but an old 525. Kinda the same thing. It’s a ball.

I’m looking closely and the 525 has my eye.

Mind sharing some basic details?

Average fuel burn for 1hr, 2hr, 3hr leg?
Normal TAS, and altitude you see that at?

I know there are several version of the 525 I’m looking more for a straight cj, or cj1

Mat

Straight CJ. 1100. 800 800. Mat do you already have a type? Mine seems to be slow. But I don’t punch it. But if you have never owned a jet it is about the most thing in aviation for flying with family. Above the weather and the thing can handle all types of weather. Also I’m not the one to ask about specifics on the Jet. There are seemingly experts on here that will correct me and they know a lot more. But I can tell you there is a lot to jets to like if you can afford to upgrade. And that’s all it is. They are easier to fly than a lot of other planes they just cost more.

Congrats, JD! What kind of seat configuration does it have?

Thanks!! A dream come true.
It has the pretty standard club with a barrel seat and refreshment station up front, and a seat back in the potty/baggage area.
I'm also adding Airtext+. I think my pax will enjoy the quieter, larger cabin, along with being able to text and make calls!

Agree with Rocky . Coming from a MU-2 , the Citation is easier to fly . You can get above 90% of the weather . The biggest transition for me was power & speed management. On take off must come back on power after wheels up or you’ll blow thru your flap speeds & 1st altitude clearance .The plane is so aerodynamic on landing speeds if your 10 knots fast knots fast you’ll use another 1000’ of runway .

Functional as in, it still has a metal bucket under the lid lol. I'll only allow Porta John packs still anyway (or kitty litter), but it's nice to have a private area to do that instead of right in the middle of the cabinet like we do currently.

BEW = 7,477, but that will be going down significantly with my full glass garmin upgrade going on.
