I was at Montgomery field the other day when a couple of canards did a
low pass at very high speed then eventually parked right next to my plane.

A large group of geek and business types came out and started gawking
at the planes, where I now recognized as Berkuts. (actually, they were
calling one by a different name, but it was the same plane).  Both
planes had been modified with the rear seat turned into a cargo bay.  I
tried to listen into the presentation, but they shooed me away.  All I
could get was that one of the planes was built at the "factory" from the
new tooling and was the "production prototype".

I was told that the new prices are now way out of range of the homebuilder.
