007 I am a LAME and know the cirrus reasonably well and think they are pretty good and very strong aircraft. Yep they tend to make the pilots a little lazy but hey you pay the money you deserve the luxury right.
Red silicon is good as you cant design a vibration free engine and prop.
The engines are designed in the G3 to colllapse down and therefore roll under the cabin in the unfortunate event of a crash...not to bad of an idea hey?
