Oh well. I think I told you that on page 1.

Mostly in aviation cheap things are cheap for a reason. However, you do learn about airplanes by figuring out what those reasons are. Occasionally those reasons are that an airplane does not meet the needs of many people, but it might meet your needs just fine. A friend of mine in South America flies a Merlin. It has some operating challenges compared to other turbinesbut the 650 gallon fuel capacity is a huge bonus for him being able to overfly inconvenient places to stop. So most people don't want that airplane but it is the right one for him.

You mean like this one, from Epic? http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N28RQ5 seats, pressurized, 92% scale of the big Epic but even faster, uses a TPE331-10, even fits in a T-hangar IIRC. So far as I know it's the only one completed, you might call and talk to them about it.
