What will it *cost*?

If it's a Cirrus killer it'd have to be priced accordingly. 400-450k?

Well that just put it WAYYYY!! beyond my price range. Somewhere about 20 to
35k is about as far as I could go!

Besides, who the hell could afford a half million dollar,4 place single
engine aircraft anyway? Certainly not your average hourly wage earner such
as myself!

The Bonanza is nearing a million and the Baron cost more
than a Eclipse 500. Do you think that might be why Raytheon
is considering selling Beechcraft?

$4+ for 100LL isn't helping, but typically the people that can afford a
Bonanza or Baron can deal with the cost of fuel. BTW, the G58 Baron
goes around 1.2M while the Eclipse is 1.45M. Kinda makes you wonder
who's buying Beech's piston twins?

Particularly when you look at speed and maintenance costs
per mile.

Not many judging from the numbers, but on the other hand is the Eclipse
shipping yet?

Next month, just got their initial production certificate.

than a Eclipse 500.

And neither are turbo'ed, sao they get to ride down in the low altitude
turbulence...

Do you think that might be why Raytheon
is considering selling Beechcraft?

With their overhead, I wonder how much that affects the prices?

I think Raytheon sees a lot of liability for the investment.
