I think of them both as assisted suicide devices for people with severe main character syndrome but I guess cirrus has that parachute thingy right? Did I confuse them with lancair?
>>2071611 Flying is fucking boring bros. I once flew in a ultralight, a helicopter and of course normal passenger planes.
Whats the fuss about? I mean if you have a nice car its glorious to ride on pass roads in the italian alps. You see the beautiful landscape while cutting corners on perfect roads.
Flying is just a straight line, its cool for like 5 minutes and then it gets boring af. Boomers paying 6 figures on some stupid small planes is the most retarded thing ever.
>>2071652 Maybe as a passenger it's boring, but as a pilot it's a complex high skill activity that requires continuously executing a lot of things really well just to not die. That's what makes it so fun.
I've never flown a Cirrus, but I have a few hours in a DA40-180 and really liked it. I'm a big fan of the traditional stick and its solid linkages that make the controls super responsive and direct, which I find much more intuitive than the sloppy cable controls of 172s etc., and the one I flew also had a CS prop with a lever which I also really prefer, I think manifold pressure is much easier to manage than prop RPM when doing maneuvers.
>>2073366 You're just finding out that /n/ is heavily populated by extremely poor crabs in a bucket that look scornfully upon anyone who actually tries and succeeds at doing things. Stick to /gag/ for the airplane bros.
>>2073988 Most of them are the same way too. I post a lot of pilot related stuff on >>>/o/ >>2071611 Frankly, neither. The real answer is probably either the Pipstrel Panthera or the current model Bonanza (and I am leaning towards saying the Bonanza).
>>2074093 The modern Bonanza has not much in common with the 1940s models. It is longer, larger, seats more, new control system, modern cockpit, etc., etc. and is much roomier than a Diamond or Cirrus.
