I'm hoping to have the flyable prototype finished and flown off this year, pending the funding coming through. Our first public presentation would be at the Light Sport Expo in Sebring FL Jan 2020

Regulation are moving in a direction that we feel that by the time we are successful with the two place we will be able to produce 4 place planes with the same technology.

I stated in an earlier post I am attempting to raise capital for a less expensive entry level plane for pilots to stimulate the lower end of aviation and hopefully get more people involved the link to the raise is https://netcapital.com/companies/orion-aircraft I am acutally selling ownership...

There are alternatives approved the problem is they are not readily available. Basic economincs is ruling in this case not enogh demand to justify the expense. 100LL can not be replaced in every engine combination but most of the flying fleet can use mogas or unleaded if it were available FBO's...

Congrats

And that is wrong!!!! I'm sorry but Cessna should have zero liability for '69 Skyhawk that is just beyond normal reason and the expectation of any manufacturer. GM still exists just the way Cessna does and yet GM is off the hook and Cessna is still responsible.

I meant not disrespect but as you well know lawyers and insurance company's are easy targets. There is a lot of blame that can be had in this situation the fact of the matter is we need to change what we are doing becuase what we have done for the last 3 decades isn't working. The LSA rules gave...

Cost of ownership isn't the only thing. There are many other barriers to entry, the cost of fuel, insurance, etc. It is however a place to start and it effects more than just ownership it effects rental rates, cost of cetification, cost of insurance, the cost of financing, etc. I've spoken with...

Yes it isn't that expensive when you compare to car forums, but when you are looking at it as a secondary skill that can't be used for daily life it is exceptionally expensive, and yes most hobbies are expensive and most people have more than one. If you are a pilot unless you are wealthy it...

Amen, I've seen the good bad and ugly but I think things would be better if we had a loy more people involved.

The fact of the mater is that we will see aviation as a whole tank if we don't get more people flying, look up commercial pilot shortages, cost of avgas, the pending ban on TEL. I'm simply saying that the industry as a whole is suffering because of lack of innovation and a good place to start is...

Well that would be one way, and I agree the tort laws are rediculous in that product liability on a plane is forever when car manufacturers are released after the warrenty expires for the most part.

I've been around flying for a long time. My first flight when I was 15 and I'm 47. The problem is not getting people interested, it's figuring out how to keep them interested. It's great fun, a great way to travel, a great comunity, many people are exposed to flying at an early age through...

I've been working on a license for more years than I care to count and because of the cost associated with training and life getting in the way, rental costs are rediculous mostly becuase the plane is $350k for a new 172 and fuel is in $4-5 a gallon range for avgas. I've talked with many who...
