    Thoughts on the SR-20

    I had a chance to fly a Cirrus for the first time recently. I got my PPL back in May and until now have flown only Cessna's (172N, 172SP, and 182RG) so far in my short flying career so this was definitely a change. Here are my thoughts after the flight: The side yoke/flight controls: Could...
