300hp . . . 180+ ktas at 75% power (or thereabouts) . . . longer wingspan . . . yielding presumably greater climb and useful load. Bigger gas tanks may cancel any payload gains at full fuel. We’ll see.
Anyone heard anything about prices? My guess is $300Kish.
I for one hope that there will be a “base” model sr22 in the neighborhood of $240-250K, say with one GNS430, one Navcomm with glideslope, and a no-frills, STEC30-equivalent autopilot. My curmudgeonly side still says that with a moving map or two one really doesn’t need an expensive HSI…
Wishful thinking, perhaps.
I heard we position holders may be receiving a letter from CD in the next couple of months asking us to commit one way or the other to the sr22 or sr20. If true, it’s interesting that CD would ask for the commitment so early. This would be consistent with a possible need to sell more higher-margin units to actually make money [imagine that! :-)].
