Michael,

"but in the air the plane is very slippery and feels like it's skating on
ice, only in three dimensions"


That's just, well, sorry, BS, IMHO. The Cirrus is one of the best flying
planes I have flown. It tops the Bonanza. Notice that Toly compares it to
flying Pipers and such. Well, it definitely doesn't fly like a spam can.
That's great!
