I've flown the 172 172RG 182 206 and 400
The 400 is like none of them. All the others are easy to fly. The 206 was super easy to fly. Very docile. It's a heavy hauler and feels like a buss.
The 400 is a lambo on steroids. Everyone has their opinion on what they feel is safe. I feel with proper transition training and practice the 400 will be safe for me.
Also going for a 4 day cessna course with my plane to get some great training in 2 weeks

Amen!
Sure does
Absolutely!~
My inusrance had a specific rider for private aviation.
If I was PIC, without the rider, no insurance.
Never a truer statement.
My old Fi used to say that all the time.
I have a couple of friends with planes. It really depends on the pilot.
One is one of our senior pilots at the Sheriff's Office where I retired.
I've flown with him before. Very meticulous and a no nonses guy in the air.
LOL-Very true. Get lost, you can't just pull over and ask-LOL
and when chit breaks on a boat, you don't have as far to fall
Seriously though, it's a beautiful plane, and if you get plenty of hours with an instructor, and never get complacent, you'll probably be fine
I love boats, and the personal interactions that go with the whole crowd that surrounds them. With all the new FAA regs and such post 911, I just lost my love of flying
Enjoy, stay safe and keep us posted on your trips.
I'll settle to live vicariously
Absolutely!~
I think if the insurance was in place prior to licensing it doesn't make a difference. Not sure it makes a huge difference on new insurance for a single engine but start asking about twins/helicopters and I think they get nervous.
Same goes for diving, recreational diving 60 ft or less no big deal, free diving (no tank, hold your breath) 80-100 ft and you maybe uninsurable.

I quit flying when my first daughter was born, but have been missing it lately. Maybe its time to get current again. My dad keeps his airplane at home, has a small strip, and hasnt been flying much lately, maybe I should be taking advantage lol. Great looking plane, congrats, and be safe.

Thanks guys,
Plane was designed by lancair then perfected by columbia and now has been bought out by cessna.
It's the fastest fixed gear single made. Its carbon fiber/fiberglass. 310hp twin turbo charged continental engine. Has G 1000 avionics, synthetic vision, WASS, TKS (for ice), built in oxygen. Very fast but not meant to haul many people. Ohio to florida in under 4 hours. Ohio to cuba on one tank of fuel.
