It’s cool looking, and a really fun concept. For something like this I’d like a little more shoulder room; more Twin Bo and less 310, but that’s me.

From the notes it sounds like it’s the MCO FSDO that’s standing on the hose.

Yeah, I should have been more specific in my quoting. I was talking about the Privateer.

Yep. 310 is 48.5". It's nice for a "normal" fuselage, but once you hang a turbine on it and make an island hopper out of it I'm thinking cabin class.

Is Peter working away on the NG? Is the original in Boise? No videos to tell the tale.

I miss the constant Raptor updates, it was like watching a train wreck, I couldn’t turn away.

Plane wreck, but that was just the finale. Best case scenario, no one hurt, project stopped, entertainment value achieved. As much as I want to see someone fund the NG for entertainment value I think even Peters spin skills have hit a wall.

I think he said the original was just a test project to save face. Even the most unknowledgeable investor has to see that’s bogus.

... but after spending years on a project that did not meet any of its primary goals, ignoring advice/critique from dozens of legitimate experts in the field, issuing more excuses for various problems than we can count, and all manner of other concerns, we have no confidence in the potential existence (or success) of a Raptor-NG and urge ALL to exercise extreme caution in entertaining thoughts of involvement in this program. The deplorable history of it all is simply too damning to ignore.

Flyer beware...
