The Avanti does really seem to occupy a nitch that is tough to fill.
The view from massive cockpit glass never gets old either ! Thanks! And yes I remember… Attachment: IMG_2183.jpeg

Username Protected wrote: Are you keeping Columbia 400? Yes I am Brad. The TTx is the best single engine piston ever made in my book, I can’t give it up. Great for short legs stuff by myself. For the life of me I’ll never understand why truly great airplanes like the TTx or the Piaggio get beaten in the marketplace by lesser products like the Cirrus or the King Air. It makes zero sense other than following the herd. Attachment: IMG_0072.jpeg

Great shop. https://www.aerosmithaviation.comPaint, Interior, Full Garmin Panel. Going to have Simsair do the windshields and steel brakes when they get here (probably next year).

4 hour 23 minute flight showing 2087 total fuel consumption in lbs….I wish. Yeah, that seems optimistic. There are several built in profiles. Here is the one I use, as well as the fuel bias I apply. I find it pretty accurate as long as I don’t get a real slow climb or early descent. Attachment: IMG_1125.jpeg Attachment: IMG_1126.jpeg Attachment: IMG_1127.jpeg
