I was lucky enough to fly this Cessna 400 airplane from Van Bortel Aircraft Sales. At one point in time the Cessna 400 was the fastest single piston engine fixed gear aircraft in production with speeds well over 200 knots. I talk with Randall about the airplane and then took it up in the air for a demonstration flight!

  • I'm in KROC, we have a Van Bortel dealership here that sells Ford, Chevy, GMC, Subaru and is one of the largest new/and pre-owned Corvette dealerships in the country. I bought my Corvette there! I really like the TTX!! It's fast, looks great and does not have the insurance penalties a retract has!! Not to mention the additional maintenance and complexity of retract. For some reason I thought I remembered that having some ties to Mooney?!? I'm probably confusing that with TBM though, that started life as a Mooney, and is loosely named after it, TarBes Mooney, or TBM. Tarbes is the city in France where the parent company Socata builds them. Anyway, very nice airplane!! 8) --gary

  • Great video! Thanks for asking good questions. I am always interested in the speeds, especially around the pattern. Pitty the wheels don't go up on such a sleek machine but I suppose that is a good way to get cheaper insurance at the cost of some speed. Perfect stall onto the runway on both landings.

Being quite qiet on the boat at Sailing Doodles ( where you could be more active ;-) ) and here professionally in your Area with way more comments and questions . It´s really funny to see your inner change . Really like that attitude and knowing there´s a woman with an high IQ . Don´t get me wrong . I adore women that know a lot but to see them showing what they know and be capable of is way more interresting . That´s what you doing here and you doing well . Show more details in common and special details of the plane and aeronautics for those who wants to know about that theme . Well done Dakota :-) Curios to see the next video :-) Greetings from Germany , Ralf :-)

    • For a piston engine airplane it's pretty stinking quiet. The doors have inflatable seals which really help the noise, I can tell when I've forgotten to inflate them. I do an economy cruise, at lower altitudes I do about 175 knots burning 13 to 14 gph, I've seen 220 at FL180. The miles just cruise by, it is a true cross country machine. I've done 600 miles in 3 hours, getting vectored for climb and descent. At lower altitudes it takes about 3.5 hours. Climb does drink fuel, about 27 gph at 115 knots, I pull the power back to 30 inches in the climb.

  • Now to the Elephant in the room, aircraft like this one are exactly why "general aviation" for moderate income people, has become a dead dream. With General aviation planes , even used ones, going for more than 200k plus ,the dream of average people having and flying their own airplane like back in the 60s and 70s is totally dead ! Even experimental class planes have skyrocketed in costs. I flew in my younger days, and entertained the idea of ownership, but between the cost of the plane, upkeep, and storage, not to mention fuel these days, you have to be VERY well off to afford to be in the club. The new generation of light sport aircraft are now 2 to 3 times more than previous certified manufactured planes used to be. It's a rich man's hobby now, unfortunately not mine .

IF you desire a real family aircraft with a small amount of decent luggage capacity and comfortable seating for 4 full sized adults then you have to purchase want the GA industry calls a 6 seat aircraft.

  • Van Bortel is one of the few GA dealers that refuses to advertise prices. The price of the aircraft will be quoted based on how they size you up so the price is never fixed. Two or more different callers will get a different price quote. They claim that's because the market varies from day to day prices can change on a daily basis. That practice seems shady to me so one wonders how they are as big as they are.
