Turbo Cirrus

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 at
17.5 gph fuel consumption isn't bad!

I want one!

Yep - looks like the wife is going to have to start working 2 jobs...

I've got it all figured out though. If I can get a 40% return on my
investments, and my wife and I both work 2 jobs and only eat salads, and
things go well at the casinos and the track for the foreseeable future, I
think I'll be able to afford one at some point in the next 20 years.

Tornado Alley Turbines (TAT) did the conversion, and is providing the turbo
systems to Cirrus. There is a great recording they did the day before the
big Cirrus fly-in last fall. It's a time-lapse record of all SR-22's in
the US. Early that morning you see little dots start to crawl from all
over the US, headed to the same destination (Ohio?). Mid-morning you see
this one dot depart Ada Oklahoma and just blow past all the rest! G

Speaking of the diesel, Plane & Pilot announced in their last issue that
Thielert will be starting to install Centurion diesel's in brand-new
172's. One quote from the blurb: "Up to now, no Skyhawk has been able to
climb to 12,000 feet so quickly."

You can read the blurb he

Do you have a link? That'd be a kick!

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.
