Cirrus SR22 demo flight

Tobias,

Purchase is a little bit on the
expensive side, though.

Ain't that the truth...


I would love to try out a Cirrus one day to see if the Star and the
SR20 are by any means comparable.


Don't. It would spoil your DA-40 enthusiasm. The Cirrus is MUCH more of
an airplane. Much more solid feel, much nicer interior, "real" doors et
cetera, whereas the DA-40 somehow still hints at its roots as a
motorglider. The only two things the DA-40 is better in is visibility
and engine technology (diesel available). And the SR20, with the
current US$ conversion rate, is even cheaper in Europe than the DA-40.

I just saw on the Cirrus website that they are offering FREE demo
rides for CFIs (hope this offer is also valid with their European
sales organisation...).

Has anyone ever tried this out?

Tobias,

Uh, the original poster in this thread?

It's not that hard to get a free demo ride, e.g. in Germany.
