I doubt it....they are pretty dang strong. They have gone through hell in the warehouse and we still ship them out. Sometimes I feel kinda bad knowing that some of them have been dropped from 20+ feet, kicked around, and ran into with forklifts.

Coincidentally, the insurance check came in the same day. Time to buy some toys!

Sounds like fun!!!

Is one of these "toys" going to be another plane?

I think it's time to look at the single owner concept.

A triple prop with a constant speed might be an improvement.

Not yet. The plane was purchased when we were childless, two incomes and had our starter house pre 9/11/01. We are now two kids, one income, bigger house and post 9/11/01 general aviation isn't what it was. I'll go back to being a renter.

I don't know anyone who owns their own plane unless it is a 30 year old worn out 152. To own a decently equipped, safe, reliable, late-model aircraft you either need to be independently wealthy or making huge money - I do okay but not that okay.

I don't think so. We had what was, in my opinion, the perfect plane for what we used it for. Fixed prop, fixed gear, normally aspirated but it had GPS, auto-pilot, leather seats and so forth. The more moving parts you add, the more you add to your inspection, maintenance and repair cost. Performance was adequate, fuel use manageable, it was comfortable and a hell of a lot of fun to fly.
