I...... but that is a
lot of airplane to manage for a single pilot - IR rated or not.

The 4xx series Cessnas were designed for single pilot operation.

Mary and I can get insurance in a Mooney tomorrow (with ~10 hours training,
due to our lack of complex time), for not a lot more than we're paying now,

I got insurance in a Comanche as a VFR pilot. However, the terms
specifically required 10 hours of instrument training before solo.
I already had some (more than 5, less than 10) hours in type plus
a little other retract and high perf time.

I've read about new Cirrus SR22 owners paying $8000 for their first
year's insurance. That seems incredible to me that a cabin-class
pressurized turbo'd twin like a 421 could cost less to insure than a
fixed-gear single.

I heard it's up to $15K for first year on a Cirrus.
I haven't checked that with my agent, but it sure sounds outrageous.

I paid $4,000 for my first year's insurance on my Cirrus (SR-22).

Ken, are you sure that wasn't just a downpayment? G
