The great debate
I think of them both as assisted suicide devices for people with severe main character syndrome but I guess cirrus has that parachute thingy right? Did I confuse them with lancair?t. noplanez
I used to work for cirrus. I know nothing about planes, just made them for a few years.
>>2071620Did you have an employee discount?
>>2071621Not on planes. I actually did not work there for a few years, I lived in Duluth for a few years, only worked there for about two years.
>>2071611Flying is fucking boring bros.I once flew in a ultralight, a helicopter and of course normal passenger planes.Whats the fuss about? I mean if you have a nice car its glorious to ride on pass roads in the italian alps. You see the beautiful landscape while cutting corners on perfect roads.Flying is just a straight line, its cool for like 5 minutes and then it gets boring af.Boomers paying 6 figures on some stupid small planes is the most retarded thing ever.
>>2071652Maybe as a passenger it's boring, but as a pilot it's a complex high skill activity that requires continuously executing a lot of things really well just to not die. That's what makes it so fun.
>>2071652t. obviously never flown a plane as pilot
>>2071652>Flying is just a straight linelol, lmao even
>>2071689this. clearly.
>>2071611>The great debatenot a debateSF50 > DA62 > DA50RG > SR22T > DA42 > SR22 > DA20
>>2071652I just want to fly over traffic in California and not be stuck in it
>>2071860
imagine trying to compete with thismurricans could never
>>2072168I'd like to see one in a good custom paint scheme instead of the boring factory livery
I've never flown a Cirrus, but I have a few hours in a DA40-180 and really liked it. I'm a big fan of the traditional stick and its solid linkages that make the controls super responsive and direct, which I find much more intuitive than the sloppy cable controls of 172s etc., and the one I flew also had a CS prop with a lever which I also really prefer, I think manifold pressure is much easier to manage than prop RPM when doing maneuvers.
>>2071615>main character syndromewhat is this? A derisive term invented by low agency fags?
>>2073366You're just finding out that /n/ is heavily populated by extremely poor crabs in a bucket that look scornfully upon anyone who actually tries and succeeds at doing things. Stick to /gag/ for the airplane bros.
>>2073988Most of them are the same way too. I post a lot of pilot related stuff on >>>/o/>>2071611Frankly, neither. The real answer is probably either the Pipstrel Panthera or the current model Bonanza (and I am leaning towards saying the Bonanza).
>>2073991>Bonanzahahahahaha yes 40s tech is so cool and hip amirite?
‘60s rigid Cessna with slicks
>>2074093The modern Bonanza has not much in common with the 1940s models. It is longer, larger, seats more, new control system, modern cockpit, etc., etc. and is much roomier than a Diamond or Cirrus.
>>2071689>everyone can be a pilot>flight is obviously only for pilotsLove to see the plane with 300 fisher piece mock cockpit instrument clusters at every seat....
>>2071611No reason to fly any small plane without an emergency chute like the cirrus.
>>2076278unless it has 2 engines, like this one >>2072168
