Default More on Cessna's new "Cirrus Killer"

Sounds almost like an Extra 400 with permagear...

Yeah, I'd pictured a 'glass Cardinal before reading this today.
Previously I wouldn't have though Cessna would consider composites
because of the development cost vs the size of the market - doesn't
seem big enough to warrant the cost of molds and tooling IMO. My guess
is it'll be a 200kt cruiser with 350hp... *Baron* speed with only one
engine to feed & maintain and no gear to fuss about.
