    Which plane are you talking about, the Malibu Jetprop conversion? or the Meridian?

    I flew a Meridian. Nice little plane if it fits your mission profile. The cockpit is a bit cramped - would hope to never have to get out in a hurry. They depreciate like rocks so used they are a decent value.

    The jetprop conversion , but any comparsion would be of interest, Jetprop vs. Meridian ?

    Thanks, Edward

    I've crawled all over the Jetprop and it is a very well done conversion. It isn't a meridian, there are other things that the Meridian has that aren't on the Jetprop, but the cost is a heck of a lot less, so it may be a good deal if it fits your mission profile. Compared with a Malibu, it is a lot more airplane in terms of capability and reliability (something the Malibu is sorely lacking).
