If anyone needs a like new “Airtug” with the Columbia/TTX harness I have one fir sale in Sedona, Az. $2000 plus shipping

Strakes might help. Looks a lot like a Cirrus. If it flies anything like the Cirrus, big difference for pax with tail wiggle, and the right leg in the climb for the pilot with the YD.

No Columbia 400 (aka, Corvallis aka TTx) don't fly anything like an SR22T. Much nicer hand-flying than the SR22.

The 400 got the additional lower strake for operations up to 25,000 feet for additional rudder authority in stalls at high altitudes. The 350 (naturally aspirated) doesn't have the strake. Neither the 350 nor the 400 have yaw wiggle or dutch roll tendencies.

The SR22T has a lot more yaw wiggle with the YD turned off. I rode back seat in a brand new one a couple of years ago while the owner was getting factory training. It is quite noticeable with the YD turned off.

The rudder hold is an option on the 400, it's just a solenoid that holds the rudder for climbs. You establish climb and the right amount of right rudder, then press the button and you can take your foot off the pedal. It's a nice feature, my particular doens't have it.

Cirrus sells a mediocre parachute to spouses that comes with an airplane for their husband/wife to fly.

The Col/TTx is a pilot's airplane.

Totally agree with Larry. All the Columbia/Corvalis/TTX models fly wonderfully. I was concerned when my 350 didn’t even have rudder trim. It was absolutely necessary in my 210, but you hardly notice it in the 350. Sure you have to hold a little right rudder in the climb, but it’s less effort than you need in a 172. I’m not sure how Lancair did it, but it’s a wonder.

My friend with a V tail had noticeable tail waggle, and my other friend’s Debonair has some, though much less than the V. The Columbia has none.

My only complaint about the flight characteristics is that it could stand to have a little less control effort in roll, but that also makes it rock stable as an IFR platform.

Ouch, I get it and partially agree. I owned a 2014 G5 Cirrus and flew it 100 hours while my Aerostar was being painted.
Liked it WAY more than I expected to. Not a pilot’s airplane. For an accomplished pilot in a Cirrus you quit looking for fields to ditch in after a bit. You stop being concerned about rare but possible engine failure. If my engine quits and there is not runway really close I will pull parachute and sleep in a comfy bed that night that is very likely not in a hospital or morgue.

Yes it is!

Convince Cessna to sell me the type certificate for Corvalis and loan me 50 million at zero interest and small chance of seeing your money back any time soon and I will put a parachute in this pilots airplane and be selling 100+ a year within 5-7 years.

One of my favorite memories in my non turbo charged Columbia 350 (certified to 18,000 feet) was went I made a PIC decision to fly over Atlanta TFR at FL190 because of serious storm both north and south.

Loved my Columbia 350

Pics or it didn’t happen right?
