"Dude" wrote: So what interests you? Something that will take my daughter, my grandson, me and some luggage to Houston, against a 15kt headwind, nonstop, with comfortable IFR reserves. The SR20 is interesting, but I am still thinking the wingload is too high for a new pilot (less than 300 hours). Let him rent Skyhawks awhile. Sure, 100 pounds would be more interesting, and I bet they could go to 200 hp and get it, but would that really make it more marketable? It would to me. You have to remember that these planes now come with a lot more weight requirements due to the new FARS. Like what, for instance? The only thing better in my book is the Lancair, and it's a lot more money. It's really in a different class, along with the SR-22. If it didn't have a side stick, I'd rather have an SR-20 than a D-40 for the better range & load. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
