TIME to GET CIRRIOUS!

A TSO'd fortune cookie would add thousands to the sticker price of the aircraft so I suspect Cirrus decided against it. Cirrus research and design costs for said TSO'd fortune cookie probably would far exceed the return on investment (ROI).

A non-TSO'd fortune cookie would be a FOD hazard around aircraft. It could also void any warranty and attract FAA inspectors for ramp checks.

Plus the cost of about $15,000 to repack the fortune into a different cookie. :yikes:
 
Wow, I walk away for a minute and return to find 6PC's plane has fathered mutant offspring.

You forgot to make the Cirrus 310 a high wing.
As an aside, the nation's largest Cirrus dealer has 21 (twenty one) used Cirri on the flight line for sale in the last TAP.
Figure an average value of roughly $450K and you are starting to have real money sitting there.

Do you know how many of those have the first generation chutes that the repacking causes significant expensive damage to the fuselage?
 
Holy C**P - are all of you unemployed??

(funny - but I can't keep up at work and use flying sites to "detox" before the next meeting. Thanks for the free entertainment..)
 
So 6PC is the bloke who started the "laced brownie" thread in the medical forum?
 
Wanna go fast?

Sure the fuel burn is a bit higher but the new SST model will get you anywhere in minutes provided you have the proper permits.

CRM is a bit more important on this model so bring a buddy!

Go ahead and joke -- for less than the sticker price of the cabin air conditioning option on a new Cirrus (currently $23,900), a colleague of mine professionally retrofitted his entire 2-story house with central AC.

Yeah, but how much did it kill the useful load on his house? :)
 
"We haven't done the math, but how could it not be true."

Lol.
 
At least they FINALLY got the tail right ..

(Although I think it looks like a guppy.)

Some nice options there. :D

The Bi-Cirrius is going to have issues though. They might want to rethink that name unless they target it for a certain segment of the population. "Not that there is anything wrong with that". :lol:
 
I was literally laughing out loud reading that! I always wondered what a Cirrus would look like on floats, now i know!
 
It is still not steerable.
You still have to use the differential braking

About an hour.

I Photoshopped the high wing one for my avatar the other day and I got to looking at it this evening and imagined a world where there was a Cirrus for everyone.

If only.

The Cirrus 182 is just WRONG! LOL

Very creative 6PC! Awesome job!

No, it's awesome.

I want one. Not kidding. Looks great.

;)
 
OMG, these are hilarious.

I bet if these make it around the Cirrus offices, they're going to get printed out and hung on cube walls.

Bravo, 6PC! :D
 
When you tell her you are a pilot AND you want to seal the deal...
It's not going to happen when she sees your pipstral light sport.

You're gonna need one of these.

Guranteeed? I can think of other ways to guarantee it for much less.
 
What, no high capacity model? I want to take 600 of my closest friends to Europe (arranged by FliteNow :D)
 
DAMMIT!!! I wrote up a whole This week on POA Gastons Edition.
Blue screen of death before I could save it.

There was one Image that worked nicely into the story.

Sigh.... I will leave it here since all I have is the photo.

It was to be the plane for everyone.

(Except stupid high wing pilots)

But...

1) The main gear needs to move forward, for cg reasons, and...

2) The tailwheel strut needs to be angled back - a longer arm is your friend in a taildragger.

Once that's taken care of, let me know where to send my deposit.

It would seem that way but you are overlooking the weight of the much heavier chute due to the heavier tires. So the cg is fine.

Noteworthy: the chute on this model is actually made from tundra tires.

I agree on the tail wheel. That is just not their forte
