Just read the article on the Turbo Cirrus in the latest Flying magazine.
What a beautiful aircraft - 194 kts at 12,000 feet in a fixed-gear single

17.5 gph fuel consumption isn't bad!

I want one!

I wonder how fast it would be if they could figure out how to get rid
of those ugly wheels that hang down in flight.


The Columbia 400 does about 10 knots more with equally ugly wheels hanging
down.



One can only imagine how fast it would be w/o the ugly wheels.


Or how short the landing roll would be. :-)
