Pigs will fly first. As others have mentioned that amount of money will
barely buy you a car, and they are working off of astounding economies
of
scale.

How much are those pigs expected to be selling for? Any avionics
included?


Single comm radio...but it tends to squeal...

A lot of us can not afford the $100K+ aircraft. Even Taylor is a bit too
expensive at $54K. When can we expect to see something in the $15 to 25K
range?

I will note that I am seeing a lot of used aircraft in that range. I gather
that the market is a bit depressed still.

You aren't likely to see anyone bother to produce anything flyable at
that price range. When I talked to the Sport pilot guys at OSH, even
the little weight-shift planes were more expensive than an older
Cessna 150. There is a guy on the field here that rents out an
ultralight (he was a "certified" ultra light instructor, although he
and his plane recently crashed, killing himself and his student). He
was charging $70/hr for this ultra light.
