      Honestly hold out for a market crash. More than any other product really GA prices are affected by the stock market. Most owners have reasonably good jobs and use stock bonuses to buy/maintain planes. If the value of those stocks crater, then they are the first high ticket item to be sold and the market comes down. Now that said, I don't think we'll ever again see it be 40-50k for a new Cessna, but these insaneo prices will be unsustainable if/when the market dips.

    I had a deposit on a Panthera that I had refunded. The first reason was the people that were the dealers misinformed me about a problem that they had with the plane. Second was the 2 insurance quotes I received. First was $18,000 second was $55,000 for a $650,000 hull value. I did get to fly the Panthera for about 15 minutes and like the man says It’s work in progress.

    Perhaps surprisingly, there is no language or spelling problem w "Sinus" or "Virus"; they may be pronounced slightly differently in Slovenian, but they have the exact same meaning and potential respiratory infection associations as in English. English just has a rather unique approach to pronouncing its latin script vowels, but the meaning doesn't change.

      It stands for "Single Reciprocating" as opposed to their other products such as "Single Fanjet", and "Single Turboprop" aircraft. So, I doubt it. The two on the end is probably because it is the second in the series of SR aircraft, the first being the SR-20, but I don't know. Sometimes those numbers are arbitrary, sometimes they reflect some aspect of the aircraft performance- whatever the marketing department thinks will stick. Anyway, deliberately confusing people is counter productive to the goals of marketing in general.

    Love the low hourly cost. Which makes sense for an aerodynamically efficient aircraft made out of materials which last for decades.
    80% of the purchase cost is bureaucracy. If the bureaucracy somehow gets a kick in the butt - modern, efficient GA might become affordable to the middle class again. And we might very well be moving towards such a kick in the butt, it's direction very much TBD though, but that's another story... But, ask yourself - what has it taken to break a deeply entrenched status quo, historically?

      ​@@CompleteWalkaround Sigh. And I don't see anything labelled as "experimental" ever becoming widely adopted. Nor cost-efficient. Imagine if car ownership required to own a mechanic shop and be able to do carb sync, valve tuning yourself? Let alone body work. Cars would be rare, expensive, and ancient ones would stick around for decades for a lack of an affordable alternative.
      Within my lifetime though - should probably plan to build an EXP, FAA be damned... A DA-40 hull turned EXP with a modern flat-6 engine (like the UL-520), would be cool. Such that flies like any other DA-40 (which is lovely), but starts like a modern car. And burns most flammable liquids, 100LL for $8.50 / gallon be damned as well :-D

This would be a 0 as basically the only way to get one is to buy it new, while something like a Cessna 140 would be a 10 because it's moderately available, old but not an exotic antique collector's item.

And I the same way that this 'beauty standard" is super unhealthy, I would like to point out that survivorship bias studdys have shown us that planes which got hit in the rear fusulage during world war 2 were less likely to make it home.
