What if it doesn't get raised?

That's like $70 per hour for every hour you fly just for the

much fun to fly?


See the earlier comments about how the 4350 was determined, and how it
will eventually be raised.

I can't believe anyone would pay that much for such a
short life span plane.


Apparently lots of people are; the SR22 is the best selling airplane
in the world at this point, and Cirrus is on track to deliver more
piston singles than Cessna this year.

What if a meteor destroys the earth?

OK, that was cheap.

The only way it *doesn't* get raised is if it turns out that the
airframes are falling apart, in which case a whole bunch of people,
including myself, will be quite unhappy. There does not seem to be
any indication of this in the Cirrus or any other composite airframe
that I know of.
