New Cessna Airplane?

I do think someone needs to come up with some competition for the Cirrus SR-22. That plane is a monster.

I'd take a new 182 or 206 over a new sr22 any day of the week.

The Lancair Propjet puts them all to shame.

That's my dream plane, only if it could carry more it would be perfect!

Not a 182, maybe a 206 (i have never flown the 206). The SR22 outperforms the 182 pretty well and is way more comfortable.

I don't think you can put four people and luggage with full tanks in a Cirrus. It all depends on mission profiles.

 

[bigD]

Yep - if you need a hauler, a 206 or 182 is the way to go. But if 3 and some bags is your profile, the SR-22 is pretty awesome. It's also a lot more comfortable inside.

Although I wish you could get the Cirrus without the parachute. The extra useful load would be nice.

Rumor around OSH was that its a new version of the 210.

Lancair IV/IV-P can unleash some stank on 'em too. Some of the records set by Dave Morss and others are pretty impressive. Off the top of my head a IO-550 powered IV made it from Los Angeles to Lakeland, FL in 6hrs 3sec. It was also the first non-warbird to qualify for the unlimited class at Reno.
