After trying on various airplanes, Ive come to the conclusion that the Six is a hard airplane to upgrade from. Seems unless I move up to a cabin class twin, I lose a lot of useful load. Try and find something with the cabin space and useful load of the Six. PA-46 is a nice bird, but no useful load and near impossible ingress/egress to the cockpit. The only upgrade that made sense was a C210. More speed without giving up much useful load, but to get one decked out like my Six was going to cost 150k or so over the Six.
My only real complaint with the Six is the performance at altitude. Adding turbos will increase climb and cruise at higher altitudes and also give me the ability to get above more of the weather. I'm working with Rajay to get all the parts together. Some of the parts supplied by Rajay are difficult unless he has them on the shelf, but I can fab them myself and send them to Rajay for inspection and approval.
Trying to have all the parts together in the next 6 months or so.
