@flexairz ...I see it like this. The Cessna 210L that I fly has a 1600lb usefuel load and does 170 kts true on 15gal/hr. Here, your doing 190 true with 23 gal/hr, and for an extra 650K not including the original purchase price of the plane, its hard to justify. In a turbine 210 from Orange County to Vegas vs a standard 210 you would maybe save yourself 10 minutes but would burn more fuel. Bang for the buck, just dont see it. Unless you wipe your ass in 100 dollar bills, then fine.
Man I can't wait to get my PPL. I've been saving $ for a long time and I'm finally going to take lessons sometime in 2011. I'm hoping to get it the summer before my Senior year in High school I am going to be a junior this year. Also sweet video.
cool plane, but a waste of money

@captg5 Flying the same profile with the stock 210 is a waste of money.

perfect for long hauls. probably cheaper to operate than a 310 or equivalent.
