I would prefer a 10 over the Cirrus, but I don’t have partners who agree with that plan. I may need you again for my RV-4 checkout!

You talk like you want the Cirrus (back). A partnership is an economical way to go, provided you have the right partner. You'll not regret the time with your daughter & possibly easier to move on from the partnership when you're ready...in two more years. I think your RV will fetch a good price given the quality & upgrades. Good luck! : )

Well, you asked the question and it’s evident you really like the RV and really like the Cirrus. Is there an attachment to the Cardinal? And let’s be honest…you’ve been spending a lot of money on hangers, 150’s, engines, and avionics…so it didn’t seem like the Cirrus was out of reach…

Well, N11111 is for sale too. Just saying. A partnership also means you will be staying in Chi town for many more years???? If you subtracted the cost of ownership from that $100,000 the last Cirrus is worth today, what is the net gain? Did the last Cirrus need the 10 year parachute replaced? This one will need a new chute in 2 years. And, according to one YT channel, they are hard to come by these days. I forget the labor charge, wasn’t cheap. I think you need a PT 6 out front myself. Best Wishes!

The Cirrus parachute is actually due every 10 years, so this one needs one in 2. The parts supply problem has been largely fixed. My shop said 5-8 weeks lead time is all they need. You are selling the Aerostar? That is another great option!

I own an RV6A. I love it. But most of my flying is done VFR and solo. Don’t fly at night. If money was no issue I’d buy the SR22. In a partnership you will cut costs by 50% and still get all the benefits. The RV should fetch $125k+ in todays market. Go for it.

How bout instead of a (I'll guess) a partnership in a $400k cirrus, you get a nicely maintained Saratoga for yourself. You can pick those up all day for 200k or a bit less - and you'd have a great 145-160kt / 16 g/hr. xcty plane -- w/o a partner. Sure, it flies like a truck, but when you want to have fun, you'd still have the RV. I know all this stuff because I AM LIKE YOU AND ALWAYS LOOKING AT ANOTHER AIRPLANE! -- it's like a disease and you're right, it's always about 2 years and it doesn't matter how damn good my current plane already is ------ you're always looking at the next one! when you find a cure for THAT -- lemme know..........

If an Rv4 with a tailwheel is "manning up" , going to a Cirrus, especially a 20, is going in the other direction from manning up. Get a tailwheel RV , and rent a 4 seater for the rare times it's needed.
