So... 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!!

Scott,

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

The SF50 is a totally flawed design. It's slow, has no useful load and burns more gas than a Challenger. 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. :D 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.

You could put a zero on your asking price if you had one that worked. :thumbup:

Do you want a jet that crashes often and NEEDS a chute, or one that doesn't crash?

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

I really do think that anyone interested in this topic should just read the 110 pages of the thread linked above.

EVERYTHING that can possibly be said about it is in that thread. EVERYTHING!
