Anyone heard of these?

It looks like they're trying to take some market from the caravan.

Any thoughts?

Never seen it before. Gear retraction is interesting.

Yea I was kind of curious as to the choice on the gear. Seems like it'd be easier and cheaper in the long run to go fixed.

If I recall correctly, Flying did a pilot report on this plane several years ago. The gear retraction method is interesting, but I'm not sure I see the value. It's still just as slow as a Caravan.
