The Cirrus is probabaly one of the best IFR training platforms available. I love the fly controls. Would Love to try it one day. Im an old Cessna flyer. 1971 150L
Never flown one w/a side stick, never really heard anyone complain about it. The multi-shape wing is impressive! The whole design is impressive! I just wonder why they never attempted a 'trick' retract system for the gear. I can just about picture an 8 inch pod with folding, trailing link tri-gear, or quad gear?! LOLOL. Thanks Rich, good video, nice unit!! 8) --gary
Great scenery with some IMC and then clear on the way back. What a fantastic bunch of planes you taxied past after landing, I’d love to be able to wander around out there for a few hours. Looked like a 1970s style paint scheme on that Duke. Thanks!
Hi Rich, thanks, I enjoyed the content. Question: Why (if you know) do aircraft engines cough and stutter (10:53) on start where automobile engines do not. I solo'd 8/3/75 and have had at least a private since 8/3/76. And it hasn't changed. Starting a hot fuel injected aircraft engine is/was an opera with the mixture lever.
@@FlyingwithRich This is a decent explanation of aircraft engines and failures ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mwpzTnLC8BY.html&ab_channel=AVweb
Great looking plane, but why did the original motor crap out at 1300 hours? The whole side stick thing just seems really funny, how hard is it to learn, the transition from a traditional plane to say Cessns 182 to fly something like this with the side stick? No "RPMz" today! 😂
No hate but I never understand what the need is to have the mic so close to your mouth haha it actually sounds worse and just looks like you have it in your mouth or are trying to swallow it lol Nice video though! Love the Cirrus!
You know, unless I hit the lottery, I'm not going to be buying an airplane, but the guy in the right seat with the camera? Might love his job. Get paid to fly with Rich and take video? That can't be a bad gig!
