Aircraft Color Options

[ComplexHiAv8r]

OK, trying to figure which would be better.

Arc Blue Exterior with the Twilight Interior (which I like) or
Radiant Red Exterior with the Classic Interior (which will have a better resell)

I kind of dig the light interior. The seats probably wont get as hot in the summer either.

Make it something bananas, that way you can confuse the FSS guy next time you file

I like the darker interior. But Ive never been a huge fan of tan leather. Both look nice though.

Get Stealth. My favorite of all of them. Also, silver and blue is probably my favorite exterior scheme that I've seen so far. What options are you looking at?

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Not gonna vote just recommend light colors for hot days.

Black leather... unless you live north of 50 degrees, I'd stay away from that.

Looking at most options except no ice. They called it a fast wing or something. I went years without it, don't think I'll need it. I just want to make sure the avionics are better then a ERJ. 8) Big thing is prices are to go up, get this, $70,000 for 2014. Get your order in NOW! Only a few slots left with 2013 delivery.

70k for a new Cessna Corvallis?

70k for a new Cessna Corvallis?

Maybe missing a zero? If not time to go start digging up the yard for all my money

 

[ComplexHiAv8r]

70k for a new Cessna Corvallis?

NO, base price is going up ANOTHER $70,000. Hitting $800,000.

That makes a lot more sense.

 

[NickH]

That's almost Evolution money...

I think I would rather go for a used Cirrus.

That's what I had before.

What made you jump to the Cessna?

 

[PositionAndHold]

Good pick. Haven't had a chance to fly one, but from I've read the Lancair (hate calling it a Cessna) is a pilots airplane. Real fun to fly and best of all, fast. When it first came out I think Lancair claimed it was the fastest currently in production piston airplane. Single or twin, fixed or retractable gear. Now I think Cessna just calls it the fastest fixed gear airplane. It has to go high to get the numbers, but they claim 230-235kts true. With the gear down and welded! If you ever get near SZP, I'll buy some lunch for a ride.

What made you jump to the Cessna?

Original owner retired and wife bought the plane back for him. W/in a year of parachute pack and offer close to sell price = cirrus gone. I already miss her. I had her 8 years, new every inch of her like a new girlfriend and new her sounds.

I looked at Cirrus too and fit/finish better on Cessna, better egress and my 22" roll around will fit in the luggage area through hatch. Useful load up too.

Tracey, I think the Arc Blue with Twilight is stunning, very aesthetically pleasing. Somewhat similar to a factory TBM paint job (at least 2011), which is beautiful. You have taste! I hope it works out for you.
