He had to keep designing new models to attract and, using his own words, "Pick the low hanging fruit.". Slap it together, sell what you can, move on. Does that make it a bad airplane. No it doesn't. It just means that Lancair is only going to devote those resources necessary to keep the airplane marketable.
