Yes I do..want a tbm for the cost of a 172.. yes.. and it can happen.. get the gov out of the way and it will.. If FAA cert were not an issue... Cost of mfg would go way way way down.. add in top of that ease of use with automation and the number if customers would go way way up... Both of...

I really don't like Pipers.. I think I listed some reason above somewhere.. but I do appreciate the suggestion...

Robots would definitely be an improvement over pilots... I didn't realize how much so until now.. it's your jail cell and you defend it ... And insist on paying for it.. in many ways.. ok.. it's yours you can keep it.. There are visionaries, early adopters, mainstream, laggers and road...

Gravity doesn't agree with a computer piloting an airplane? Gravity doesn't agree with an electric seat? Gravity doesn't agree with innivation...?? Nah.. childish naysayers.. You guys are box heads..

Ah.. no vision

If you want to drive a stripped down, no ac, crappy seat, light as possible aircraft... Fine.. have at it... If I want to sacrifice weight for comfort.. I should be able to.. and due to gov regs.. it is illegal to do so... The paradigm is so rigid right now, the responses are largely "in the...

Everything in design is a trade-off ... And you have entirely missed the point.. As a consumer.. we should be able to make that choice..what options we choose...and we cannot.. because of idiotic gov regs

Personally I think aircraft will be easier to automate than a car.. given the call and response of ATC to Aircraft... Traffic is centralized.. in cars most traffic is decentralized and the market is far less controlled as far as "road space" goes

You put words in my mouth... I said get bad regulations that stiffle innovation out of the way... Why doesn't your plane have comfortable electric memory seats like your car? Because of the FAA the mfg can't afford to develop a simple item.. heck there isn't even much development cost.. they...

I hope you live to see the day. Experimental lives in the shadow, not the light. Prices are high because markets are limited by regulations and ability to fly Eliminate regs and have a self flying planes...(we are really really close to that) and the flood gates open and cost of production...

The opposite is true if you get the. FAA out of the way.. the cost of entry as a mfg and a pilot is severe.. so of course it is limited.. Take away the barriers and Katy bar the door .. the flood of great products and users will be endless.. litteraly endless... For generations..

As large as the car market with flying automation. Fly a cirrus g1000 and the AP that goes with it.. you don't do any flying except for take off and landings.. and taxi.. and a computer will be far superior at flying, takeoff landing and taxing as well.

Yeah I doubt that everyone could afford their very own computer .or....I could click a button on my computer and anything I want will arrive at my door the next day... For less money than it used to cost..... Wait, hold in a second????

That is a very odd response... Yes they set a price, people bought it.. and no one is even trying to compete.. so they can charge whatever they want . Only game in town... Get the FAA out if the way... corporate fascism insured by the us gov. ... We will have better, faster, more comfortable...

Anyone who wants to come fly to Bozeman, BZN, and show me their awesome plane that they love so much... you are welcome here! If you come.. you will understand the desire for fast and comfy 500nm legs I seek.. hahaha

Pressurized, pressurized, pressurized.. a/c mandatory... Love doing my run-up while sweating .. it's awesome... Haha.. Oh yeah, speaking of run-up, turbo props don't have to.. way way better engine.. Vote for folks who want less regulation and get the FAA out if the way, and the explosion of...

The day someone takes a Chevy suburban cabin, adds Denali /caddilac interior appointments , pressurized it, and makes it go 300 ktas at $2k/month payment.. oh.. add an autopilot that manages take off and landings as well as flight.. programmable via your smart phone... (I think we are actually...

Disregarding dollars for a moment.. the vision jet is coastal... I live in the Rockies.. and at elevation in the summer.. that vision jet can't compete with a turbo prop.. it's a physics thing... No small jet can do as well as a turbo prop at hot elevation ... now from San Diego to Seattle ...

All the ones I have seen have some sort of de-icing added..tks thermawing or this other one I don't remember the name.. it's electronic and makes the wing expand a bit .. but it's not a boot

In the Cirrus world..The SR22 TN G3 is the target I am looking at..at.. in the cessna world the p210 with the tsio normalized 550 conversion... they are virtually the same price and speed... i have not sat or flown a p210.. and it has more space with retractable gear and pressutization.... So a...
