Wow! If this is true—that’s just wrong of TBM……I’ll PM Shok as you suggested…

I came close to buying the Cermark a year plus ago—didn’t think it would hold up to a P70 or a Falcon—P60 was a bit weak for me.

My 80’s Byron F-16 DF had a claimed speed of 150—I don’t think mine went that fast but that’s still turbine speed—I flew it with no problems—as I said, I don’t think I need it but at $199—you know what I’m saying? But actually, to get it at that price, one must buy the Super Bee turbine combo. I’m loving Artes and their Lifetime warranty and their $250 total parts and labor Maintenance Interval service (according to TBM). Since I’m a power-man (I prefer to have and not need than to need and not have for anything in life), I’m wondering what I would do with the Super Bee once the thrill is gone from flying the Shokjet.

TBM says other manufacturers charges hundreds more and that doesn’t include parts, but Artes is $250 per service parts included—does any know if this is true? I’ve yet to send in my Simjet ‘cause I’ve never used it so I don’t know what they will charge me just for service. You guys have been flying turbines for a while, so I’m sure you’ve experienced that part of the game.

So how do you like you’re A-10? I just found out last night from a Thread that Yellow Aircraft’s F-22 has been out since Aug 07 capable of the P180—I’m liking that.

Thanks, Mugenkidd…
