Piper M500 | The Most Premium Turboprop 

Two full-grown American Adults.....LOL. I love the implication that all full-grown American Adults each weigh 335lbs. No offense, but at 335, you'd have a pretty hard time fitting up front. A better way to say this would be, "At the FAA average weight, this aircraft can carry just shy of 4 people, at max gross weight". Three for sure, with bags, four if everyone has a healthy diet. C'mon Mike...

As always.. another excellent video 📷✈️🛫🛬 have a great weekend Mike ✌🏻🇺🇸

I think the m500 is a good price new when the tbm 850's are going for the same at 15 years old. Jet prop is the clear winner here though.

I can only afford the FSR500. But I love flying it.

All i know is, were my financial status able to support the entirety of any Pratt Whitney turbine powered propeller driven craft, comfortably, with ease - there would be one more E1000GX ordered and I'd be in no hurry for delivery. So it would be a deeply well crafted, luxurious, airplane. It's core being- the beastly speed demon, King of velocity of it's class. Engineering and Design. Likely the finest coupling of it's type FAA Certified, ever made in the US. 🙂 The E1000GX is a masterpiece, imo

Mojo, love your channel, but you're wrong. I had a Meridian for 18 years. The Meridian is a great plane. Everything is a balance. It's as practical as your money will allow. Have more money, get the 600 or TBM, or get a HondaJet like I did.

Because the turboprop market and servicing have convinced themselves that their monetary unit is a million dollars, there is just no cost effective option. Buying an old plane for 1.5million just means you get that 500k service fee next year and then it really gets expensive. We really need to get away from this self inflicted absurd cost because it takes very little carbon fiber to hold 1 atmosphere of pressure or carry 5 people. Imagine a carbon fiber ladder that could hold 5 people, it might weight 2 kilos. And in a nice teardrop shell it's almost not possible to make it so thin that it can't hold. A soda can has walls 0.1mm thick like a piece of paper of alu and they hold up to 6 atmosphere of pressure. Carbon fiber is 20x stronger than aircraft alu and easy to shape in one piece. I think I did the math for the cost of name brand carbon fiber cloth for a plane this size and it's below 10k. Of course there are windows and doors and avionics and engines etc but a larger plane can have much the same complexity as the smallest plane. So why are they 50x more expensive. If you saw what was possible you'd be shocked. They are doing it wrong.

I love your contents.

Remember that the M350 is the one to buy. Cheaper and nothing beats a piston

just waiting on that lottery win to come through. considering i've never played the lottery, it may be a long wait

Me like the piper

Two full-grown American Adults! Like if you resemble that statement. I'll go first.

If I every win lottery I prefer to have this than a lear jet.

Who owns Piper Aircraft, Inc.?

Got all this in my 23 Honda Pilot,almost.

I AGREE 110% !!!!!!!!!

Honda made a jet for 1.8 million

Expensive kit ...... I would rather have a 421C ....

Why would someone buy this 6 seater, when they fly mostly alone?

The engineering urge to LS swap the m500 😂

🛩️ First 🛩️

Not worth it
