 Rob,
 your points are good, especially at the end about needing "safe" planes. My
 partner and I have built a number of Aerocomps and Lancairs, and decided
 that a safe plane with the looks of the Lancair and the utility of the
 Aerocomp would be in order... thus the Envoy. There are a lot of good planes
 out there that meet different mission profiles, but not many that are safe
 and fast. Hopefully more will be coming.
