Cirrus SR22 aircraft became the best selling recreational aircraft in 2002.
 
Cirrus SR22 aircraft can fly at greater speeds and have more range than other aircraft of  their type due to advanced aerodynamics.
 
Cirrus SR22 standard equipment is a 310 hp engine, global positioning system, autopilot, and a special recovery parachute.
 
Cirrus SR22 Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) is deployed by being pulled from the aircraft by a small rocket until the chute is clear of the aircraft.
 
Cirrus SR22 pilots report the aircraft as fun and easy to fly. There is ample interior room front and back. The glass cockpit multi function displays show minimal reflections, are clear, intuitive, and easy to use.
 
Cirrus SR22 rotation speed is around 86 mph with three average size people, full fuel, and no luggage aboard. Pilots tell of a smooth ride, even in typical late summer day chop.
 
Cirrus SR22 aircraft can easily and economically cruise at over 190 mph. If you are willing to sacrifice a little fuel economy, you can bump the cruising speed up to around 213 mph.
 
Cirrus SR22 aircraft are not rated for aerobatics, however quick maneuvering will be rewarded with solid tracking and instant response. Stalls are very predictable and gentle.
 
Cirrus SR22 aircraft will settle down on the runway just as you would expect. Just keep the approach speed steady and settle in for a smooth landing.

Radio Control Airplane

RC Airplane built by Pat Backover.
 
Radio Control Airplanes:
 
 
Pictured above is the RC Cirrus SR22 airplane scratch built by Pat Backover.  The radio control airplane has a 44” wing span and a length of 33.5”.  Power for the rc airplane comes from a MEGA 16/15/5 motor.  

The first picture below is a
Cirrus SR22 radio control airplane from KMP Models.  The ARF RC Airplane features a fiberglass fuselage.  Wing span of the radio control airplane is 87.5”.  The length of the rc Cirrus SR22 airplane is 68”.  KMP recommends a 1.08 two stroke or a 1.20 to 1.50 four stroke engine to power their radio control airplane.  The completed RC Airplane should weigh about 13 lbs.

The second picture below is of the
Cirrus SR22 radio control airplane scratch built by Mike Allen. The RC Airplane is 42” long and has a wing span of 55”.  Mike powers his radio control airplane with an O. S. .46 engine.  All up weight of the RC Cirrus SR22 airplane is only 3.5 lbs.
