Just got through bingeing the purchase saga, what a great adventure! I also love the fact you post monthlies on the brand. I quite literally stumbled on this aircraft through your post. Very interested in seeing/sitting in one for a fit (831P is a beauty) . I'm a bit "space challenged" (not the outer or inner, just locally) and have crossed the SR22 and DA40 off of my list after sitting in them. Im 6-4 but extremely long waisted so headroom is an issue. Any personal comparisons you can make? Get down to KSEE at all? Cheers!

I occasionally get to SEE, but only a couple times a year. Maybe I can sneak down there this Friday. PM me your contact info. The CA dealer is in Chino and I bet would come to you. The current seller of 831P sold me my plane...

This plane has electric adjustable seats (up/down) and huge leg room. IMO it is a good fit for tall people. It's also a wider cockpit than a 182!!!

Not sure this noob has PM privileges yet on this platform. I see 831P is fairly close (damn nice looking bird), good to know that there is public history with the seller. I am "up north" every few weeks on biz (one of the justifications of the indulgence) , could meet you that way, but if your headed this way at least the hamburger portion of the show will be free.....

Cirrus rep flew the new gen7 in for a sit down (canopy didn't close without a scrunch (serious scoliosis) so no flight demo, yes I am that freak of nature, think Jaws in that 007 movie), nice aircraft but didn't check the box (unless I could find one of the bubble glass iterations :cool:), bit of a bummer as the used inventory is huge! I am assuming the dealer in Chino would do the same (and I will probably take him up on that at some point) but meeting real folks like you is important to my journey also, would like to make that happen if we can.

LMK

btw - flight follow link shunts to Instagram fyi.
 
I found this place and this thread when Googleing Tecnam, and it gave me some great reading. I would like to PM you FPK1, but as a new member I'm not allowed to. So, if you wouldn't mind a couple of questions, please drop me a PM.

13putt, I was in the same boat, FPK1 got back to me. In fact he was cool enough to fly in and let me check out his bird, great machine!! We had a $100 burger and a great conversation. Definitely the guy you want to talk to about buying decisions!!
