Yes indeed. High performance airfoil and a very weird control feel to any of you that have ever flown one. I am not surprised by the outcome.

Actually I think the Avidyne has a AOA display.

Do a bit of reading and research if you have not already. It is absolutely true, marketed in very similar manner to relatively inexperienced pilots with similar results. I considered buying one - Cirruses are very affordable for some professional demographics, almost analogous to the Bonanzas back in the day. Fatal accident rate is significantly higher than Cessna or lower wing-loading birds, and has a very high loss of control + stall/spin accident rate.

Compare to the targeted Cirrus ads of today.
