I believe it's a Piper M600. I was a fan of the Meridian (M500) which is similar except a different wing and other minor things. Of course you'd know better, F22trainer! Please tell us more about your build! Especially that turboprop option....Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

More details please...
I am building an electric version M-600 at 1/6 scale. The turbo prop from King Tech would need a 1/4 scale airframe. Since there are no plans I am drawing my own and figured I would start smaller. Also need a sponsor for that turbine and hope to get Piper to back that build. An electric model fits within my budget.

The worst possible issue is likely to be what happened. Failure of the boot track on the HD.
Stuck in the middle of loading the OS and, just keeps trying to read the drive?
Sometimes you can pull the data from the drive even if it can't boot the machine, by plugging it as an external to a different machine. (they make adapters to do this as a USB external drive)
Sometimes its just toast.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

I was far enough along it would be a pain to start over but not frustrating as I could probably do it again faster and a bit more accurate. So now I am planning to start over, but I could pull the drive and maybe read it on my G4 desktop Powermac dual boot machine...I have 2 of them. But I have a feeling I may lose them soon too, and rightly so as they are almost 20 years old. Hard to believe.
I have a new iMac I got for the GF, and could run a subscription to Adobe Illustrator which would be cheaper than buying a new MacBook. That might trigger a few dirty looks if I spend a lot of time on that machine, which would happen. Besides her desk isn’t that comfortable for me at all. She’s about a foot shorter than I.
Suppose I could take a chance on another eBay refurbishment, this one was and lasted 4 years.
Ugh...:Angry:
Yup, it is doing boot loops and none of the fixes are working.

I have cleared room for the G4 and brought it to life. The file I started was not that far along so I just started over. The bigger screens and dual monitors make things a lot more efficient than the laptop anyway.
Anyway, here is a pretty good video review of the airplane I am regularly lucky to be instructing new owners, the recommend procedures for safe and efficient operation.
Piper's M600 is the newest addition to its M-series line and has a larger wing, more power, plus a much needed increase in range. It's also Piper's first air...

Oh my gosh, where has the time gone...
It’s been...well, progress would have to speed up to be considered slow. But, real strides have been made. Nose section 50% mock up looks good. Started the fuselage center and rear sections. I also have a potential interest from a cutter to begin kits. Since this is a trademark and copyrighted, still in production airplane, Piper will probably step in. They are getting the first prototype anyway. I will maintain control of the kits, as they are my design. I have sponsors....oh boy did I get some sponsors, but we’re just getting started so more on the later.
