That's great! Thanks again for sharing your experience. How fast are they cruising in that thing at 40k'? What's a realistic time to climb directly to FL410?

I don't know about the original CJ,but the S/II can do 104% N1 at altitude. Seems like they're pulled back a little.

And you can really make the panel look nice in the CJs as well! Attachment: screen 2014-12-16 at 12.36.29 PM.jpg [/quote] The standby attitude indicator looks a little questionable...

I tend to like off the beaten path things, and that sucker really fits the profile aside from being capable of doing what I want SP. If it's good enough for Morgan Freeman, surely a low rent mofo like me will be more than happy with it, lol. My thoughts exactly. How 'bout we start a group buy?
