No one said it was a cheap car but at least finally aicraft are delivering real performance at car prices. That has to be something to celebrate. If the price is too much, then share it with a couple of friends and then it becomes very affordable. How many people would honestly fly every weekend anyway. Let's hope prices drop futher. At least now real, practical aviation isn't just the preserve of those who have $300,000 in their pocket.

I understand you can own this with 3 others for $200/mo each...?

@freakyflow Dude, have you done it?

Honestly I have the money and building a plane and I have no time. Try building because a plane and then talk to me. Not working off of the concept of building the plane.

I understand what your thinking, but the thinking on this is different to the actual doing

[freakyflow]

@gmanzeroalpha Why is it bullshit? People that buy these have the money and have the land/tools to build this Aswell before you get it insured you have to have it inspected by the FAA. They come pre fab . with a car you can buy kits aswell. If your talking about restoring a plane or car it takes longer because you have to tear it apart and fix / replace parts and try and find some parts no longer made Then find someone who can class it airworthy or driveable

[gmanzeroalpha]

Weeks and months..... Bullshit.

Just BS. Have you ever even attempted to do anything on an aircraft, it just doesn't work that way.

Consider building anything on a car ( not repairing but building). Do you think that will take 8 weekends?

Get real.

Piper was actually so impressed with this aricraft, they did a deal with this Czech company and renamed this the "Piper Sport". It didn't last long though, as they quit the agreement last year, due to various differences in opinions on how to market the aricraft.

@midtoad ignore him hes a bit of a twat

[cprich22]

@FFTVAviation it will eventually go further down the more people get involved in flying and also when technoligies allow for cheaper manurfactue

Nice cockpit.

@midtoad Listen pilots can kiss my ass, if you are not a pilot from the airforce or NASA you are a baby with a toy in your hands. Commercial pilots take off auto pilot and land, and dont come to me with that shit that you do more than that. Pilot's logbook and have a good landing, make sure you have more than 4 applications in your brake system but that is another story. About the cost of the planes again you cannot compare an aircraft with a car NEVER.
