      I’m building a velocity so I get the experience the joy of purchasing parts and slowly seeing it come together. Different then walking into a hanger and seeing the final product.

      @@shannonstewart4792 Thank you for the encouraging words, but I know my spending habits and how many years it would take me to put money on the side to afford even a simple Cessna 172, including having the income to maintain it.
      That will never be within my financial capabilities. It would take me over 20 years of saving up and by that time I will be in my 60's.

    Was there a significant difference in take-off power compared to Miss Grace, or is the turbo only noticeable at higher altitudes?
    Lots of great memories with Miss Grace, I can imagine. I've been along virtually for many of them over the past year and more. It's been a great ride, but we're all looking forward to 2019 with Two Sierra Zulu! 👍👍

    I must say, I just started watching your videos two nights ago, 3-7 2019 March course, and I'm impressed with what I've been watching so far. Congratulations on your new plane, whatever you do for a living you have earned it, and have earned the right to be a pilot. I love the selection of music that you choose for your flights, and the editing is superb, for the life of me, I cannot understand why 46 people do not like this video, they are truly Walking Dead. I like your slogan (Safety First, Always), and I must add, that will keep you alive. Keep up the great work and showing us your experience of flying in the Heavenly Skies, Be safe. PS. by the way, the tribute to (Miss Grace) was very good, and I believe I understand why you called your first plane (Miss Grace) because she gave you a Merited Favor in the heavenly Skyes Above. Peace Brother Mann, and May You Have Many Happy ((Landings)). Mr. Cool Breeze. You Have Earned That Name That I Respect, For Your Talent And Skills.

    Amazing stuff... been there couple of weeks ago. We picked up a brand new G6 and ferryed it back to Brazil. The guys at Cirrus Center were amazing. Our first flight was with the guy that drove you into the hangar (can't remember his name!). From Knoxville to Jundiaí Brazil took 5 days, with 7 stops (KFXE, MDPP, TQPF, TGPY, SBBV, SBSI and SBJD) and 28 hours flight time.
