I've been flying the G1000 for awhile. Its a pretty sweet avionics systme!

If she came with the airplane the long term cost would go into the millions.

It sucks & the music really sucks!

@cff121 I find this hard to believe. That sticking that stuff right out there in the wind will only slow you down 10 kts. Honestly. Your going 250kTAS and sticking something that solid out there will just reduce you rspeed by that speed of a roller blader.... really??

You know there have been calculations that are wrong

Stephqaz.... what's the difference between the Corvalis' G1000 and the Garmin Perspective? They both have the same ready pad and identical functionality. I only have 400 time, though. Is there something I'm missing?

She is working some fine equipment. The plane is nice too.

@cff121 Insurance goes up with retractable gear also!

That is one good looking bird. I'm talking about the plane, of course.

[cff121]

The drawbacks to adding retracts would be a decrease in useful load by 120 lbs and tack a cool $80,000 onto the existing $644,000 price tag! Combined with market research that showed little interest in the retract option for the new production 172s, 182s, and 206s, Cessna will not be prusuing this option.

@sksakm14. I recently talked with a Cessna rep and learned that there will NOT be a retractable gear version of the CE-400 Corvallis TT. Both Cessna and Columbia engineers before them studied the problem and determined they could only gain 8-10kts of airspeed doing so.(the current landing gear with fairings is pretty clean as is).
