Thank goodness he cleared that one up.  Lancairs fit in that wide space between "un-safe" and "not-safe". WTF??!! With logic like that, this guy should be running for CONgress (the opposite of PROgress).

I do believe the plane Reink IS associated with is the Envoy http://www.sreyaaviation.com/. The hull of said same was on display at OSH last. It was the GAFUB northwest of the Lancair tent.  Fixed gear, unpressurized turbine (retract optional). Now there is your next airplane......NOT

Sorry Reink, Epic has already been there, done that, got the T-shirt, wrassled the FAA and won!  But heck, every supermodel needs an ugly girlfriend. Do I see a market niche?

What we REALLY  need is a safer world. So freaking safe that the most common cause of death is boredom. You wouldn't worry about dying because you would never really live.

David's death is tragic. It would be just as tragic if he were killed in a car or boat or in his shower. When its my time, I want to go like David. Happy doing something you love one moment, Saint Peter the next. No pain. No suffering.  Sign me up.

What is really shameful is some opportunistic wannabe trying to turn the moment to his marketing advantage. My sense of decorum prevents me from rendering my honest opinion of such a man, but Reink, lacking same, knows my mind.
