Rj,

Thoughts?

Have you heard of the D-Jet by Diamond?


Thomas,

Yes I have, although it's useful load looks like it will be less than
my Bonanza. (That shouldn't be a taken as a slight to Diamond--a
company that knows how to deliver a good product, on time).

What the GA aircraft industry really needs is to rethink the now dated
migration path from complex singles. The old way was to advance to a
light twin. If you look at the insurance and accident data, moving to
a faster/higher (maybe turbine powered) single is probably the better
answer. Somehow the affordability gap has to narrow, so a $300K
complex driver isn't staring at a $2M take it or leave it choice.
