No not yet. I wanted to wait a bit and see the new tech that is coming out. I noticed a more competitive pricing on it. Living in Texas my first priority is electric air conditioning! Lol

I really like the bonanza's also. But had to think long and hard. What gave me the push toward the sr22 was comfort for the wife.

No not yet.. I heard of a good name for a plane.. " the office". So if the wife or anyone calls me I am busy at the office lol
Beautiful! I’ve only seen a few 4 bladed Cirrus aircraft. Enjoy.

Awesome ride
It’s intimidating...is it not?
Or "The Mistress." Tell the wife you will be spending the weekend with the mistress and she'll assume you mean the plane.

The 4 blade prop gives better ground clearance, better climb, better engine cooling, lighter by 26 pounds, much much quieter as well!

Yes going to start IFR pretty soon.. already started reading lol.. this is HP.. but will knock out complex with a c210 and multi in a 310 lol
I should have rephrased that. It’s intimidating, but not as intimidating as meeting your GF’s Dad for the first time...know what I’m sayin’ ?

Karen said “nice!” when I showed her the photos but she’s a radial engine kinda girl.
“SR22... something with a radial... they’re both worth more than our house, honey!”
“Yeah...”
LOL.

I was never intimidated by GF's dads. I could take 'em, unless they were pointing a shotgun at me. Most I picked up anyway. I was a sleeze.

Congrats!
Beautiful. And congratulations! The 4 blade looks awesome..but I’m curious, how does the 4 blade provide better climb? It was my understanding the more blades you add the more inefficient they become..and does the 4 blade effect cruise performance at all? Burn more fuel, slower cruise etc ?

Sorry about your penis.
Well, someone had to say it.
Nice plane Carlos, congrats!

Can't get into all the specifics but from my understanding here are the pros
- Advantages:
(according to Flight Resource)
- Turbine smooth, vibration free propeller operations
- Replaceable stainless steel leading edge for
best erosion protection of the blades - Improved engine cooling
- Enhanced climb performance
- Shorter take-off distance
- Increased static thrust
- Enhanced cruise performance
- Unlimited blade life, Lower cost overhaul and No AD’s
