 Jeff,
    Thanks for the useful info.
    I should point out that I was not complaining but just trying to get the
facts.
    My primary mission is pilot and 0 to 1 passengers.   I will occasionally
have a teenager in the back.
 
    The PC12 IS pretty cool.  I got to fly one in Stanz.   Really quiet and
HUGE inside.
    Takeoff and landing speeds are eerily slow for a 10,000 lb. aircraft.
 
    Colyn

  Perhaps Lancair could design a six passenger aircraft that is about four
inches wider with the ES wing (could carry a bunch of fuel) and a Walter
engine.  Or you could put down some cash for the Epic or a PC12.
