800 XP repaint

Here is the 800 XP undergoing a full repaint. I'll post interior pictures in a month when it's done.

So.... I guess you got the new plane. Congrats. Looking forward to the new paint scheme. Have you like it so far?

It went from test flight to pre-buy to the paint/interior facility...so we've only flown it during the test flight.

The cabin is obviously more spacious than the Citation V, the engines are significantly more powerful, and the cruising speed was much higher. To me, it felt like the ride was a lot smoother when we encountered some turbulence.

It will be 5 months from when my partner and I sold the V to when we take delivery of the 800 XP--so we've got trips lined up pretty much every weekend for the first 90 days. I'll report back on my experience with the plane when I get some more time in it.

Great! I'm looking forward to your report. It's a great plane.

congrats, the 800xp is very nice. are you planning on re-doing the int?

The first upgrade I'd do if it has the Pro Line 21 avionics
