Paul really enjoy your videos and I am in the process of finding the right Columbia as my next aircraft. It will be either 300 or 350. Was wondering if I can ask you a few questions about your ownership experience and comparison with Mooney.

I've owned nearly 20 different aircraft, from Commander 114s, Socatas, Piper, Beech, and Cirrus... the Columbia is a game-changer and my favorite plane for a plethora of reasons. Incredibly stable and fun to fly. It's ergonomically correct and is just lovely in less than perfect weather conditions. Don't let her get too slow on approach and keep your climbs shallow in the summer. Other than that, its a simple airframe to maintain. The earlier model 300 and 350s will likely have better useful load and less cost to maintain. I bought a late 300 and plan on 184 kts at 15 GPH.

@@JaredLevy1 thank you!

Just found this channel. I'm working a prebuy on a Columbia 400 with the same avionics package as your 350. Will be looking at some of your vids in great detail. Would love to chat at some point and ask your impressions and lessons learned. Just joined CAAC recently and you can ping me there if you would be willing to discuss at some point.

Hey Scott, Sure anytime!

Curious to know your full fuel payload and typical cruise speed and fuel burn. Love the 350! How long have you owned it?
