Apparently. I was very surprised. They're quoting 2 wks +/- for the -22's from order acceptance. Not sure on the 20's but I believe it is slightly longer. I think they produced 51 airplanes in July. The sales rep said production capacity is now 3 per day. This has got to be killing Cessna, Piper, Mooney and Beechcraft. I wonder if market saturation is in Cirrus's future. Are they near filling a pent-up demand for new airplanes of modern design? Congratulations on the new bird. God bless guys like you who buy new airplanes, thereby creating used airplanes for the rest of us! -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

I think Diamond's going to have the same impact. Clean designs, good
pricing, better performance. What's not to like? I'm hoping that Lancair can get their production act together so that there are 3 good competitors out there. As for creating used planes...what I'd like to do now is create a used plane buyer! "Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "Flynn" wrote: Apparently. I was very surprised.

What's the endurance? Are there standard and long range tank versions?

Let's see...I routinely see 135-138kts @ 75% @ 7500'.
I plan for 11 gph and usually get 10gph @ 7500'. Endurance is around 4 hours 30 mins with 30 min reserve (VFR) There's only the std version to my knowledge in the AA5B models though I've heard rumor of a long-range STC. Does have the 180hp engine "Juan E Jimenez" wrote in message news:Oc_1b.241536$Ho3.31159@sccrnsc03... What's the endurance? Are there standard and long range tank versions?

I should, of course, add that YMMV.
The engine on N4543A has less than 200 hours on it and I've had it rigged by a very knowledgable Grumman A&P. "Flynn" wrote in message news:Pz_1b.183783$Oz4.49578@rwcrnsc54...

When I looked into the SR-22, the deal-killer for me was insurance. The
rates on Cirrus have been astronomical due to more than one fatal in less than 6 months, with no apparent benefit from the BRS. As far as I know, the insurance companies have really jacked up the rates on all Cirrus models. The factory is subsidizing first year insurance for new owners. If they don't figure out the insurance thing, they will hit a brick wall. I am paying around $1K/yr for my Tiger. I can't imaging paying over $6K/yr for a fixed gear single, and from what I have heard it doesn't matter if you are a 500 hour instrument pilot or not... At that rate, it would be better to find a nice used twin. But I agree, if they get the insurance thing under control, Cessna and Mooney are toast. They will have to come up with a 6-seater to compete with Beech. If they come up with a 6-seat design that has comparable performance to the A36, Beech will be toast as well.
