One of the great things about the BD4 is the never exceed speed of
234 MPH. This means you can use a 350 HP turbo 2 rotor and
cruise at 200 MPH. That is far far better than a $750.000
brand new Cessna 182. You can probably get 90 gallons of fuel
in it as well. Vans airplanes have a never exceed speed of
only 200 MPH. If you install breathing oxygen you can do it at
18,000 feet as well
with out going IFR.
The BD4 is a high performance four place kit aircraft and as such
is a real bargain.
Easy to build as well.

Paul, where does the BD4 get it's good performance specs from?

No rivets in the wing skin and no struts like a 182.
It is also carefully stressed by a talented engineer.
