Hi Paul and group,

I am considering this aircraft versus the NexusMustang. After a
presentation at my local RAA 415, I visited the shop last
November.  The
model presented has a flaw.  The next model will be 3 feet
longer and
available late 2009.  They are working on a Experimental
version with a
gross weight of -/+1,600lbs versus LSA.  Engine will have
to be bigger
than a 100/120HP

If you could give me your honest opinion for this plane. Good or bad!

Sounds good. Does the company have a track record?

Thanks Paul,

Here is a video of the interior and exterior

They are also building and selling the Private Explorer (you could stand
up inside shower toilet stove frig very high gross weight etc)  They did
a trip to the North Pole with it.  300HP engine cruising at 130MPH

For your question the compagny has been in exsistance for 8 or 9 years.
At my local RAA 415 meeting the President had with him an engineer who
mention that the Ecoflyer has been tested through NASA computer program
for stress and other programs as well.  Also the majority of the group
agreed with the concept except for few small details.

The build should start this year :))  Providing the compagny build a
mold for this plane.  They want to use the same method used to build
kayaks.  A one piece form to make the fuselage and also for the other
parts as well.  The President of the compaghy said the new model should
be available at the end of 2009.  I give them until the end of the year...
