The G36 is worth $200K more than an SR22. I'd pay it in a heart beat. No
comparison.

Except Raytheon's Annual Report says that a very %% of their
manufacturing square footage is leased, so few buildings to sell,
except liquidate the stuff inside, which will bring a fraction of
cost. I was thus responding to someone's grandiose assumption
that the investors paid $3.3 billion cash for their entire
Aircraft Division just to be able to soon liquidate the hard
assets plus the type certificates/goodwill of always uncertain
future value.

Why are you comparing a six-place airplane to a four-place airplane?

Actually Beech has many new, state of the art plants and
composite robots for production work. They build a lot of
parts for the big iron makers. Their old plants are well
used. But if you look at just the BEC airport/plant complex
you'll see that there are more new buildings than old.

"Wow! My butt is sore..."

Here is the set up.

I found a '68 Cherokee 140 that was a good fit for my wife and me.
It was priced right, it looked pretty good, and it had almost

  Are Garmin SL 30 really this good?

I really want an SL30 Nav/Com for my 601XL for several reasons. I've
been looking around and I can get a non-installed with wiring harness
for around 3 AMUs. What surprises me is that used ones are selling on
e-bay for just about the same amount.

well, I would need one since I'm left-handed.

I know, I know, I'm in the minority here wrt side-sticks. But I
really don't like side-sticks.

Two things turned me off the Lancair ES: one was it was very
heavy in roll, and the other was the side-stick.

It's pretty simple to build something superior when money isn't a factor.
