Lots of good and comfortable fun hours in that plane A2. Good luck with the sale.

I have flown in this plane and enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminds me of an SR22 cockpit with a turbocharged Lycoming for much less money.

Good luck with the sale, Adam!

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Fantastic planes.

It was between the 22 and the Trin.
Chute won but the TB-21 is a damn fine machine

 

[SCCutler]

Beautiful plane, Adam - bet she sells quickly!

Why are you selling?

 

[AdamB]

Thanks guys. Yes lots of good flight memories with some of you. She's a very stable and solid IFR traveling machine.

Spike: as it turned out, 3 out of the 5 partners wanted to move on. We collectively decided to sell rather than buy the others out or attempt to find new partners at this time.

 

[Scott@KTYR]

Wow that is one Sexy Plane!!! Looks like it is going fast while sitting on the ground.

 

[evapilotaz]

Screw them all. Buy them out.

 

[SoonerAviator]

Always like the TB-21, as it was almost a clone of the Commander 114/115, aside from still having the manufacturer in business!

 

[farmerbrake]

What type of numbers do you see in cruise?

At 75% power,
155kts down low
180ish up high (20,000')

I typically see about 16gph on average, maybe slightly less, but I plan for 16.

Beautiful plane. Good luck on the sale. TB21s are sweet - it and the Commander were the two planes on my short list when I bought.....

 

[James331]

One of my favorite cockpits in a GA plane, also it sounds fancy to tell your friends you're flying a French touring plane

 

[Blueangel]

Definitely in my top list of favorite high performance retract singles! I love the Trinidads up there with Bonanzas with awesome cockpit and gullwing doors.

 

[PeeGee]

I was thinking it would be tempting to buy and look for 3 other partners to share it and sell 3 shares, but a lot of risk in the meantime.

 

[AdamB]

Thanks, guys. Certainly has been a very fun and stable plane to fly. Very good IFR platform.

 

[Blueangel]

If I had a partner interested then we would buy your Trinidad in a heartbeat. Working on finding a partner. Seems like most guys in San Diego prefer to rent than buy :-(

The interior layout is just great. Love the center console. It's like the Cirrus before their was a Cirrus.

They are wide too, so the backseat riders like that. I fly a TB-200 a few times (fixed gear version of this plane). Really liked it. Easy to fly and land.

That was exactly the comment I made when I flew in it. If you like the idea of a Cirrus but want a much lower entry cost than an SR22T (and with a Lycoming instead of a Continental), this is the bird for you.

 

[AdamB]

My instruments tended to "act up" almost every time you flew in it though.

It wasn't my fault the power for the avionics was conveniently located in a place where I could turn it off.
