Thanks for the price point(s). I do have my instrument, about 1000 hours, and my complex, but very little retract time. I'm not overly worried about insurance though as I'm hoping it drops considerable once I get some time in type, and honestly I've never worried about gas (its the one expense...

LOL yeah I could see us doing that!

Ok, you're a good comparison for me, as I'm upgrading from a similar plane as you did...how was the insurance difference?

Same here...or anything involving tobacco either...although it seems so many have.

That sounds good at first glance, but if I take a chance on a lance, depending on the engine circumstance, I might need a cash advance, or a house refinance, so I'm trying to avoid that song and dance...

Its a beaut, and local to boot, so not to be cute, but my question here might be moot (don't have good rhymes for "lance")

My old hunting lab liked going anywhere, car or plane...she'd lost most of hearing from our shooting in the duck boat, so she didn't mind the noise.

Sorry, but I'm agreeing with Clip4...330 vs 360 is a pretty big difference! Were they both flying out of an unfamiliar field in an area far from home? Most roads (unless it was mountainous) go N S or E W...they didn't notice they were going diagonally to the roads even??? That's just "heads...

Since my claustrophobic Mooney debacle, a nice Lance is under my consideration (thanks @eman1200 for the suggestion). Its a 1977, N/A, well equipped for IFR, even has A/C. What I'm wondering is how it compares with 4 place / 200 hp aircraft as far as annuals, maintenance, etc. Same? A little...

Fuel was the highest I ever paid, ever (ever ever), when I was there...currently $6.10 a gallon, which is still pretty high by my standard.

We vacationed there 2 years ago. Nice field, very busy when we were there (jets mingling with small planes, I think I even remember gliders). Everything there, from parking, fuel, rental, etc, was VERY expensive, so be prepared for that.

:shrug:

I’ve got a couple hundred hours in a quickie, Q2. I owned a beautiful one for several years. They are only 65hp, but they behave very much like a high performance aircraft: extremely light controls, high roll rate, very sensitive in pitch, very high wing loading, high canard stall speed, and...

Oops, Kalkaska!

The video showing the balloon up high: the basket had already separated. That was the balloon on its own.

True, but often not what you think it means. Some planes are selling ABOVE asking price. Ask me how I know…

I'm betting it would take a long time to attach/detach that pod...then you have to assemble/disassemble the motorcycle too. Its cool, but a novelty.

Here ya go Ed, but not "rear load"...on Barnstormers right now:

Just came across this thread, and reminded me of a recent flying trip with my non-pilot girlfriend to Sporty's: Some back story: I like Cirrus planes. I don't think I've ever bad mouthed them or their pilots, although I have heard/observed a few say/do some silly things, but personally I've...

Seems to be the norm…there’s a lot of junk out there right now.
