I didn't realize the M600 was so much money. I'm gonna backpedal on my earlier posts. Not to mention the fact that it looks 100 knots faster. The experimental version has been flying for over 10 years with no major issues ( one fuel issue that ended up in a river, and the multiple home brewed approaches in Florida last year that ended up in a crash). They are simply stunning on the inside with a ton of room. I have wanted one since the first time I ever saw one sitting in Midland Texas.

..just to clarify, the Epic fatal crash over here at Spruce Creek (December 2016) was pilot screw up and LOC...stall/spin....not the fault of the plane or the instrument approach.

Had they been on the market with it 10 years ago they'd be a much larger company right now. Imagine if DayJet had launched with Epics instead of Eclipse... It's like all the wasted innovation that went into mini-jets has finally found it's way to the SETP market.
