CJ3 and 4

[BoilerUP]

IIRC, the CJ3 has 50 cu. ft. baggage (600lb) in the tail and 15 cu. ft. (400lb) in the nose. While I can't compare it to the KA350, six sets of clubs plus RON bags for 8 are not an issue whatsoever for the CJ3.

You won't be able to do anywhere close to full seats/full tanks in the CJ3 like you can in the 350, though...

An operator I P/T for has an old CE501, I'm trying my best to sweet talk them into a nice CJ2 or 3. Had the chance to take a demo ride in one a few months back out of VNY and man they are indeed sweet!

Using the Pro Line 21 system

Given that the CJ3, CJ2+ and CJ1+ use the Pro Line 21 system, what are people's impressions of the system? I have heard good things. How is Pro Line 21 better than other systems you have used?

Sounds like it might be a good selling point for the CJ3 and CJ4.

Its awesome. Very very similar to Pro Line 4, but the presentation and buttonology is somewhat different.

It has more features and has a rock-solid autopilot...what I've been told is a dramatic shortcoming of the Honeywell Primus system in somewhat older Citations.

Honeywell still sucks in the new citations. Hard to believe it is even certified in 680. I would take Collins Proline 4 any day over Homeywell.

If you are looking at a used 2+ or 3 now is certainly the time to buy. I know some folks that bought a 3 for the same price as a new 2+ (with only 100 hours on it). That was unheard of a year ago. The 3 is just an outstanding airplane.

Homeywell?

Is that from their South Central LA Avionics Division?

Speaking of the CJ4, saw one in Brownsville today, she was beautiful and huge!

Looks alot like a CJ3 and a Sovereign had a one night stand.

The CJ3 is a great airplane. We did San Diego-TEB in 4:58 and landed with 1200 lbs of fuel. Didn't even have to get gas at TEB to go to ISP. At FL450 the thing sips fuel like no other. What a fun airplane to fly.
