I'm waiting for this thread to start. I'm already starting to take stock of what's out there so I can sell to Tony, Anthony and a few others once they tire of the p180

How about $99k? I would equate that to "negligible".

Ran one of ours out to the west coast today. Orlando to Monterey with 5 folks in the back in 5+30. Cruise settled in at .82 Mach with an average burn of 1400 lbs/hr. Orlando and Jax Center gave us an unrestricted climb to FL400 which helped the fuel burn a lot. We leveled off at FL400 33 min after brake release. Max take off weight, temps in the climb ISA + 17 until getting into the low 30’s, never got below +5 even at FL400. We didn’t see ISA - anything until getting to FL430, where it bounced between -2 and -3 all the way out. I’m really enjoying this little hotrod
