This turbocharged six cylinder aircraft has a pretty good performance. See how Alabeo's model performs. Read on... Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Wow Andrew, you have certainly been keeping yourself busy, thanks for that. Now that is what I call a comfortable looking GA aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hey Brett, I was thinking the very same thought. The seating in thie a/c looks more comfy than ours in the lounge. I nice looking cockpit also. For only £19.00, it's a no brainer for me at least. Cheers Andrew. Link to post Share on other sites
remingtonbox 18 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wow! Carenado Alabeo really screwed up with this. I fly a non-turboed Saratoga (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N727GR) nearly every day as well as a turbo'd one less regularly. Neither one will ever, ever, ever get anywhere close to 10.5 gph. The turbo'd one will rarely get below 26 gph. Lastly, I have never seen anything as slow as 136 kts. cruise with no wind. I flight plan 160 kts. None of this is a dig on you. I think Alabeo missed the mark. The Saratoga is one of the most, if not the most, capable aircraft in its class. Link to post Share on other sites
