Does anyone know what the latest is on these? Last I read the first flight was scheduled for the end of 2003.
Be very interested to hear more as this is my all-time favourite aircraft.

yes thats right it is too.
I reckon they’re a very delicate looking aircraft, I guess accentuated by the 2-bladed prop and stalky looking undercart.
Couldn’t find anything in Google….mmmm….:(

Here’s some info on it if you’re interested
