New Webinar 4/18/012

Postby MichaelFarley56 » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:28 pm

In case anyone missed it, the newest Subsonex video is now on www.eaavideo.org that John Monnett presented last night. They didn't give a 100% final word but it sounds like they're really considering putting this out as a kit in the future. Prototype #2 is under development and will include a larger cockpit, fully retractable gear, and a BRS chute. It sounds like a completed one is going to run a little north of $100,000 and you will need some kind of previous jet experience.

Man would I love one of these! :mrgreen:

Impressive! I'm happy to see that they are cleaning it up a bit aesthetically.

It will be interesting to see them at the pancake breakfasts... :D

Kip, are you thinking about adding one of these to you "Dream 5 airplanes to own"? I think one with paint to match your Waiex would be awesome!

Well, there is the money thing. It always seems to come down to that one way or another. :cry:
