It sounds great but the price has already risen almost 40% (in
constant dollars) for the initial $840K. I know of more than one
person that put down a deposit and won't be able to pay for the
airplane unless they win the lotto.

On one hand, that's understandable, but wouldn't the reality be that those
people really couldn't afford the plane in the first place? Training and
maintenance can't be inconsequential considerations of the real cost of
ownership.

In this respect, I was also impressed that Eclipse will be returning the
deposits of those who can't qualify to fly the plane.
