Unfortunately for Cessna, that plane already exists.
It's called the Evektor SportStar. Oh wait, it's
made in the Chez republic...


Oh wait, this one is made in the U.S. of A.

I'm heading over to ION World Headquarters in 10 minutes.

Flight tests begin very, very soon.

Very ....soon.

Very.

Soon.

This plane will beat Cessna's LSA in:

1... Price
2... Speed
3... Cool factor :-)
4... Removable wings
5... VISIBILITY!
6... Cool factor, again :-)

I want to see the build times for ION #2 and ION #3.

Steve WILL NOT put a number out there yet. He disapproves of companies
promising things, then not delivering.

Personally, I think with proper support from ION World Headquarters, build
time will be...

(I'd better let Steve post that number - when he's sure!)

What? I didn't say anything. It's a story about airports, that's all. g
