Sun 'n Fun 2024: Piper M700 Fury Tour 

Including yours….🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Captndarty the difference is I’m complimenting the achievement instead of bitching.

@@doughertyforestrymfg4817No, you’re bitching too. 🤡

Different planes man. Not the same. One could respond to your comment with "No way..... PC12NGX ALL DAY LONG". TBMs are nice, but..... Phase inspections, limited service centers, parts availability issues, etc. M Series Pipers are like 172s. Everyone can work on them, insurance companies like them, training is less expensive and more available, and they've been around forever. The TBM is a ridiculously cool plane in its own right, but cannot really be compared to the M Series. It's in a class all its own.

You can't afford either

I totally agree with you.

I would. I understand the distrust in the system. Now imagine it was your child that was in medical distress needing CPR. I bet most would hit that button pretty fast.

I’ve noticed even RVs in 2024 have started using this tacky coloring in the upholstery. It will be short lived.

Right? These are the worst launch colors imaginable.

Horrible colour scheme all round!🤮

Gang, thanks for all the "neg" comments... will greatly help me beat them down on the price!

lol agreed

Yeah, looks like an oatmeal cream cookie

As they point out you can pick the interior.

Lots of manufacturers go with over the top tacky for their demo planes it seems like.

They have very different interiors. Have alook at the M700 brochure and the Laki colour scheme for instance.

Yes. Check the brochure: www.piper.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024_M700_Brochure-web.pdf

Yest it is. Look at the technical sheet at 0:44.

The guy that flew it in said it pressurized to around 8000

Yep. And the tiniest amount of room between the seats when attempting to crawl up to the cockpit.

@@rlkinser Can confirm getting into the cockpit requires quite the contortionist performance.

All airplanes are a compromise. With full fuel your range is 1800nm and payload 565 pounds. Easily carry six people with less fuel, but still enough to fly 1000nm. The old Meridians did have an awful full fuel payload of two people and a backpack. The reality is if you are carrying six people on a regular basis you need a plane with a bathroom. I have the earlier piston PA46 and we fly five people and our dog on 1000nm non stop trips. The efficiency of this airframe is amazing. The interior colors are just yuk on this one.

Sure, but still….semantics

Would anyone know?

@@suspicionofdeceit Yes. The unit make automated radio calls on 121.5 and the CTAF for the airport it intends to land at.

@@suspicionofdeceit: Yes, due to automatic radio calls for mayday and request for landing clearance.

There are some YT videos where they demo this. I'm guessing that you can disable the radio transmissions for tests/demos, but I don't know how. For instance, maybe you need some sort of "unlock code" to access a special mode that they won't give to customers.

Why do you need a parachute?

@@Inspadave Or a second engine?
