Default ION aircraft being built at ANE

Yes, it looks sexy, and that may be what it needs to sell - after all, it
sold plently of Dreamwings airplanes and looks was ALL they had.



I think Steve might know where the (yes it flew) DreamWings airplane is - in
storage. Just a guess.

DreamWings goes under (2001) ...enter Steve.

Unlike the DreamWings plane...

The iON 100:
1. Is NOT a canard
2. Is a T-tail(s)
3. Has a bigger engine - Jabiru 3300
4. Is a low wing, NOT a mid wing
5. Has aluminum wings, outboard the booms
6. Was "specifically" engeneered for quicker build times
7. Has realistic performance figures...
