Buying The CHEAPEST Cirrus In The World & Flying It 1,500 Miles Home!

[@mastericci]

The guy on the radio from the tower @ 9:30 had such an awesome personality as an air traffic control guy. MOST of them are so boring so it was really cool to hear him have some flair when talking with pilots. Congrats to the JR Aviation boys and their new toy ! Proud of you guys !

[@JRAviation]

Right, he was super cool! And thank you!

[@econhelp583]

These guys are awesome! It’s a very smart idea to have a guy like Owen start you off and learn flying techniques from a quality pilot. Genius move on their part to jump in when they are young and patiently develop into being A+ pilots which is what you want. Too many people rush the pilots license. Great job guys, looking forward to more content like this! Thanks!!!!!

[@eddiegardner8232]

Owen is a cool headed pilot who seems to know exactly what he is doing. Nice to have such a friend to help you guys do these deals even though you are not licensed yet.

[@MrCyp200la]

Owen is a good friend and pilot. Love this content.👍

[@davidnilles3117]

This Cirrus looks like it was a good purchase. Everything seems to be in great shape minus the liner and some cosmetic work on the outside. Looks like a winner to me. And hats off to Owen for flying her back home!

[@JohnMGreiner]

These guys are the genuinely awesome people and aviation enthusiasts. They deserve all of your support you can muster.

[@JRAviation]

Thank you!

[@micahwest4481]

If the CAPS inspection isn’t due for another 8-9 years, definitely a good buy. Replacement parachutes are super expensive and back-ordered at Cirrus. Also if you’re doing paint, Cirrus is very specific with the type and color of paint due to the temperature limitations of the composite.

[@JRAviation]

No, caps was not done 😵‍💫

[@usernogo]

So true. I wish them a lot of great time on the plane. Very good possible that it is a G1 model, so no direct access to the parachute and that means several days downtime and a lot of working hours and redoing the structure and paint professionally. That adds to the costs. This would be the second repacking and there should be some more years left for it do meet the ten year limit for repacking. As far as I remember there is a shorter six year intervall of the line cutters. Anyhow, wish them a great time with their new plane.

[@moseskelly2886]

Yooooooooo I'm so stoked to join you Jeffrey, Christian, and Owen on another incredible journey as always. One day I hope to join you guys on your adventures.

[@2bincwrkshop2bincwrkshop87]

Seems risky to not get a pre-purchase inspection before flying across the country. As the videos are all after the fact I am glad it worked out for you. Looks like a nice plane.

[@CyrilDeretz]

Yes agreed. I would also watch these CHTs, they do not seem that level on the monitor even at low throttle / RPM. I have an SR20 G2 and put the GAMI injectors. A small investment that pays off, especially for LOP cruising

[@NicolasMonroy-r8e]

I love cirrus! I am getting my cirrus addition and I will be flying the SR20 and SR22T. Hopefully I can get my own Cirrus one day!

[@theultimatejetguide]

awesome! Keep up the great content - love that you're pulling back the curtain on private aviation for people.

[@fbi6138]

You know its a good Monday when JR Aviation uploads a new video with Owen, also didn't know you were at KFTY I am there quite often.

[@VGreggUndercover]

Love the channel! Although it just had a recent annual I would suggest trusting no one and getting a pre buy everytime. Nonetheless y’all obviously did your due diligence and came out with a nice plane 👍🏼 cheers

[@UnusualPilot]

The only thing that kinda sucks is that garmin will no longer provide support for the 430 but overall a absolutely great purchase. I like it

[@davidendsley2391]

You did good if you’re going to flip it, but if you’re going to keep it well I’d recommend keeping the new to you 182 that’s an awesome plane

[@nah408]

All they do is flip.

[@chrisschack9716]

I was a bit surprised you cancelled IFR once above the clouds, seemed like a perfect time for VFR on top

[@deltadelta1658]

I have purchased 2 SR20’s. Getting a pre buy inspection is critical as log books do not tell everything. Hopefully you at least Borescoped, the cylinders.

[@mikevohs3467]

Funny you mentioned Ted Turner. Years ago I was a skydiver out of Walterboro, Sc. Mr Turner would fly into there to get to one of his plantations near by. Well they were leaving as we closed up for the day and someone left the dome light on and killed the battery in his plane. He came over and asked the owner if he could get a ride to Frogmore. The owner said sure and we opened the hanger and rolled out a stripped 182 getting ready for new paint. No seats except the pilot seat no headliner. You should have seen his eyes. 😂 he asked if it was homemade! We got him a folding lawn chair! The owner said he was very appreciative and paid him well.

[@fatesandmyths]

Great plane and good for training. You should finally get your licenses now, that does not take too long.

[@christofu23]

Watching Owen in this video reminds me of his TikTok when he said, "What the airplane you fly says about you...If you fly a Cirrus...you're a terrible pilot...you have no personality...you have lower back pain because the seats are so uncomfortable and you're first instincts in an emergency is to pull the chute..." LOL!

Come visit Aurora Oregon state airport home of Columbia Helicopters...also the home airport for Phil Knight. A lot of great air craft come and go here.

[@vicentefuentes67]

One problem with the Cirrus is its unforgiving handling compared to other basic four-seaters. For pilots accustomed to learning about an impending stall by feeling reduced airloads on the flight controls, the Cirrus provides much less stall warning. This is due to spring cartridges that continue to resist flight control movement even when the airplane is not moving. Cirrus Design will continue to lure pilots into situations that are beyond what reasonable skill level and human attention can be expected to handle. . . Be warned Cirrus pilots. You are at more risk than you may know. Get some good training on that plane. Take care and God bless you.

[@alaskafan21]

No guys, you are not crazy. I love these vids because getting a true feel for general aviation is an eye opener. Owen as a pilot I really like. As far as the cars go, come on who "doesn't" like cars ? Looking forward to seeing the final flight into Arizona.

[@bravejango12]

Yes they are crazy. You do not buy a plane and fly it across the country without a per-purchase inspection. If a car breaks down on a drive home you can pull to the side of the road. If a wing falls off you can pull over to the crash site. Buying planes sight unseen is the stupidest thing you can do in aviation.

[@alaskafan21]

@@bravejango12 How long have you been watching these videos they make ? DID you EVEN watch this one ? If you had you know it was checked out before they flew it so your fly by the seat of your pants comment it ridiculous. Might I suggest you have more information before commenting ! ! !

[@bravejango12]

@@alaskafan21 can you link to the part of the video where they state they had a pre buy inspection done? I can’t seem to find it. I found where they “non pilots/ non certified aircraft mechanics” went through the log books. And where they “non pilots/ non certified aircraft mechanics” went on a “test flight”. But I couldn’t seem to find the section where they talk about the plane being gutted by a certified mechanic for the pre buy inspection. In case you are wondering why the concern. I’m a former Air Traffic Controller and my brother is a certified aircraft mechanic. I have worked planes that fell out of the sky because they hadn’t had their annuals kept up to date or were purchased without an inspection. The reason those things are done is because failure to do so has life ending consequences.

[@moerudyk790]

Love that plane! Would be nice to know price!

[@lesizmor9079]

All the glass in the panel made this an awesome buy, by itself. No one mentioned how many hours on the engine, so because of low price & hidden engine hours, I'm guessing high-time motor. I agree that's not a deal-breaker on its own. If flown often, and regular oil changes, should be good for 3K hours. BUT!!! What's your deal with no pre-buy inspections? And it doesn't seem like you did very much of any inspection of your own, except a test drive. Borescopes and compression gauges are cheap.

[@Aviator05]

What was the price again for the cheapest sr20 ?

[@joshbusico]

Definitely ROP on the mixture, my guy. Gotta keep those cylinders cool. Does this plane have CHT gauges?

[@Zac-ex2wp]

100% agree, just replaced #4 cylinder on a io-320 on a club plane because they were all taught LOP. Had a burnt valve ran them over $3000 and the plane was down for two weeks

[@joshbusico]

@@Zac-ex2wp😳 Geez, LOP does save fuel but the math doesn't math right after the overhauls that LOP causes. 😬

You bought a quality aircraft. Very smooth and professional purchase procedure. Any reason the owner had to sell or was he upgrading?

[@lesizmor9079]

Dan, you don't get to use the term "professional purchase procedure" here. No pre-buy inspection from a licensed mechanic, none of their own, and taking off on a 1500 mile cross country? That's the definition of a non-professional purchase. And to show that behavior to the public.....

My guess is that these guys are genuinely busy with a lot of their businesses and trading that they have going on. For decent training they should really take off a couple months and just get it done. That may not be possible with their work lives. Plus having Owen on the show is apparently a big draw.
