The new TBM 930 equipped with Garmin 3000 $4.1
You can still get the TBM 900 with Garmin 1000 for $3.9
The new 930 will be at Sun and Fun.

I think a 4.1M dollar TBM will sell more PC12s than anything. Sure its faster but for 20% more you can get 4 more seats and a toilet.

I hear ya Shawn.......but if I had the $$$........ that 930 looks sharp.

Ralph,

Clearly you NEED (not want) one of those. If you'd start selling for me, you could afford one...

I'd even offer to wash and wax her for you for the first 50 hrs.

Or perhaps you'd consider an 80/20 partnership with me on one. To be clear, we'd split the fixed costs 80/20 and split the flying time 20/80. It's a good deal. Trust me...

I wonder if they plan to increase their production since they are not eliminating the 900?

Why would you spend 4.1M for a plane with long range without a toilet?
My wife and family will not ride more than 2 hours without a toilet onboard.
PC12 would be better, more comfortable and only a few minutes behind the 930 on most trips.

They seem to be inching their way to a 1000. I wonder what it will have?

My A36TC doesn't have a potty.
A TBM would get me anywhere I want to go and then some. Up to 3hrs, it's just planning.

The better the new TBMs are , the more early 850s come to the market...... one can always dream.

A 4 seats version with an enclosed lav is coming out that I heard.
Most of these are flown by retired couples that dont use the extra seats.

Range extender? :duck:

Probably not for this market segment.

Much better. Works well. Nice design. No spill. No mess. Easy disposal.

The 18 pack can be bought for $25, $1.40/each. Worth it.

I'm still trying to figure out how to use any "range extender" in a Bonanza without turning the plane into a biohazard cleanup project?

Perhaps I have low manifold pressure or my OEM main return line is to short but my hands are equal or greater then any presidential candidate running for office.

You just need to properly sump the human before loading up :thumbup:

I would so make good use of a TBM. Wallet just not big enough :sad:

TBM 930!
