I doubt it......Well I seriously hope not!
Allegedly it sank during the towing so it may be a fish playground now.
Anybody know what killed the Conty? I believe it may have been another JetA v Piston Engine battle, of which the engines seem to lose!

With some of the cheap prices on used cirii in the trader lately you have to wonder if they have all been for a swim.
Lovely plane to fly but man they depreciate faster than they cruise!!

They have sold quite a few though, there's a fair number on the register so buyers are happy to keep on losing money. Nice to drive, that's a given, just costly.

The SR22 will indicate around 165-170 at 80% power at 1,000ft amsl for the naturally aspirated model. It's 315hp so near 60 lph. Payload and other stats on their website, depends on model. From experience the SR22 flies like a dream at MAUW.

I can confirm that this aircraft is not VH SLS, It is a SR22, VH SLS was a SR22 TURBO.
The reason rego marks are photoshopped out when advertised is "some buyers will contact owners direct"
instead of dealing with the company who has been contracted to sell the aircraft.

Proably not the place for this question...... however how many aircraft out there are turbo "normalised?"
I note that some Cirrus aircraft are Turbo Normalised.
This seems like a clever idea for power delivery at altitude but won't stress the engine any more than at sea level.
I wonder why this idea hasn't taken off more frequently (so to speak).
