I think that with a big enough price drop we could increase the size
of the market. But I'm not at all confidant that we could increase it
greatly. I'd be surprised if we could double it.

I'll bet that we could come close to double it, from just new entries, maybe
more.

How about all the old planes, whose maker's never pictured them plodding on
for 50 years and more, instead of the decade or two that they were designed
for? How many would trade theirs in, to get something new, efficient, not
requiring lots of expensive repair and maintenance?

I'll bet that half of the existing (smaller sized) single engine fleet would
move on to the 2005 model bugsmasher.
