Okay, so Cirrus is cooking along at 60 aircraft per month. They're selling
everything they can build, and people who have bought them are ecstatic. Fast forward to the year 2018. What's going to be happening to these composite beauties? Reason for asking: A long discussion with some pilots who were staying at the inn, who contend that they just won't last. Using as an example the fiberglass wing tips and cowlings that always crack, flake, and crumble after 15 years, requiring costly (and usually unsuccessful) repairs, these pilots are convinced that the composite material in Cirrus will eventually behave in much the same way. And once your fuselage parts start to crack, flake, and delaminate, the planes will become essentially large paper-weights. So what's the group-think here? Will we by flying used Cirrus' in 20 years? Or will they all be scrap by then? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
