The specs and what I've seen of it certainly sound impressive. How long will they take to depreciate to the $100k-ish range?

what is the half life of uranium 235?

probably never. You can't even get an SR22 G1 for less than 200k unless you're talking a runout engine needing a parachute repack. Diamond have been holding their value above 200k, Piper cause they're trainers the same and everything else currently made in the certified world is more.

Gorgeous airplane. I hope they make and sell lots.

The guys at Diamond Aviators Net have a very through discussion comparing the Panthera to the DA40. Found it very interesting.

I will probably be well past my flying days when the price is affordable.

Meh. I do 200kts on 13GPH.

 

[FORANE]

My lancair does North of 180kts on 7-8 gph.

 

[jrcox19]

It'll be a whole lot more interesting when it's certified, or available

 

[MountainDude]

No Seattle area? Weird.

I knew that original 200 KTAS on 10 gph would turn out to be too good to be true.

Still, that's 5-10 knots faster and 1 gph less than the Mooney. Definitely interesting.

Sweet, they drew a route around Kansas City.... Man, stir the pot and fly that thing to the Wichita area (maybe Stearman 1K1). It’d be cool to rub a new design in the face of Cessna and Raytheon. I would fly my nearly 61yr old Comanche down there for lunch and to see how it stacks up to the new design.

 

[Sierra_Hotel]

Oh yeah, I'll definitely check it out in NOLA

Looks like they're running a bit behind.

Or they're doing an encore.
