Come on guys. Brent's attack ad is unfair and in part wrong. The Eclipse
will do 372K, not 275. It will carry 6, not 4 passengers. RVSM and 135
capability are delivered with all aircraft at this time. The fact that the
type rating is center line thrust is a great compliment and speaks of great
single engine handliing with the Eclipse. Upset training and recurrent
training are good things, not issues to be scoffed at. Flight into known icing
is on the adjenda. Brent says he'll take his Lancair 4P. The 4P at my airport
has had 6 partial or complete engine failures so far!

BTW, my comment on the 4P takes the Lancair out of context and paints the
entire fleet badly and unfairly, just as did Brent's comments unfairly reflect
on the Eclipse.
