I sent in my deposit and was told I have position 134.

My wife told me I needed another project now that the Flagstaff house is done...

Richard, 134 is a good number. By the time number 134 rolls off the assembly line the kinks should be worked out.

I'd much rather be 134 than in the top 10.

That was my thought. It's probably ~36ish months until I see anything at the earliest. It's a project, they're going to be kinks. I'm hoping by then they will support the turbo engine, and maybe have a de-ice solution, just because of overall conditions at Flagstaff. But it's only $1000 for a deposit. If it turns to vaporware, I've lost more money doing dumber stuff...

I think you're making my point. If I told SWMBO we were flying to Chicago for a weekend (round it to 650nm for us) but she could only bring one change of clothes, she would tell me to enjoy myself. This is not a "two people plugs bags" plane, this is a "two people and one small bag" plane, and that has fewer potential buyers. It doesn't look like it will hold as much as an RV-7.

The picture makes the luggage space look really small. Check out the video and you'll see it is a bit more space. I think it's still a bit small on volume, but plenty by weight, at least for a two seater.

Looks like it might be a neat "second" plane for me, but not my only one. I do Angel Flight missions, plus sometimes need four seats for people, dogs (my daughter's) or stuff.

A zippy two seater might be night for weekend trips for my wife and I and the occasional $100 Hamburger run.

Darkaero?
