Hi Brad, the big question on my mind is WHY?

Now just imagine he had answered that for himself before posting

Those kits looked horribly expensive. I wonder what the Tecnam P2006
will sell for?

The current guess is US$250K. (I'm doing BFR prep with a Tecnam dealer.
It's been 32 years since I last flew...things are different from then.)

Meanwhile, from another post on this thread...I'm going to ask tomorrow
about the price again; it being not unlikely that I got it wrong.

You could have a look at
http://www.aeroprakt.kiev.ua/eng_html/main.html
they have two twin designs the A-28 and A-36.
But it's unclear to me if these are offered as kits,
and as I presume you're in the USA
they might well be too far anyway.

Ooh, I like the look of that A-28.

It looks pretty small - not so sure it would be a true four-seater.
Maybe 2+2.

I have no idea if the following are the "obvious" finds but here they are
(Just FYI: it would have saved me the time to compose this message if you
already knew of these and had mentioned them in your post):

Ah yes, the Cri-Cri. Cute plane, really! But... Two little hi-revving
2-stroke engines. What could possibly go wrong?

I forget what year it was that two of them took off for an airshow flight at
Oshkosh. One of them lost an engine on takeoff and damn near crashed into the
crowd.

Also the Rutan Defiant (push/pull centerline thrust twin), but it was
a plans built - not a kit built.

this might be fun:

Even though they have a prototype it is on hold ...

Prototype flew in 1998. The designer, Chris Heintz, retired in 2003. I'd
say it is not merely on hold, but a dead project.

I don't know about Chris H. retiring or not. I think he designed the
CH750 though, which is post 2003?

Gemini does seem dead.
