Cirrus Airframe Life Limits

Cirrus says that they will eventually extend the life limit to 12,000
hours,
which means that instead of paying $70/hour just for the airframe, you
will
only be paying about $25. Still, Cirrus has not been able to get the
extension and they have been promising it for years.

Did someone from Cirrus promise this to you? No one promised it to me, and
I've bought two SR22s from them.

The claim that the limit is based on the SR-20 is obviously bogus.

How so? Do you have any evidence to the contrary? Do you know what
airframe life limit testing they went through with the SR20? Since the SR22
type certificate was based on the SR20 type certificate, and Cirrus did not
go through the same airframe life limit testing with the SR22, why is it
hard to beleive that the lower life limit was mathematically derived from
the higher?

So is the claim that they are waiting for the G-2. What does that have to
do with it?

Probably because the G2 is made with different fuselage molds, including a
different airfoil for the vertical stabilizer. What evidence are you
offering that this claim is bogus? Are you in possession of some inside
information about those devious folks in Duluth that the rest of us are not
privy to?

Do they think that sales will be better for the G-2 if they get a
reputation for
misrepresenting the SR-22?

I think your claims of being a pilot are bogus. I think you are just a
14-year old boy who is using his mommy's computer to post on usenet. Wow,
it's easy to come to wild conclusions when you are unencumbered with facts.
I find it quite liberating, actually. I can see why you like it so much.
