I'm sure they'll enjoy the laugh--if you can get in the door. You are probably right, but its because of things like that I retired @ 43. Hey it wouldnt be the first time I was laughed at. If I was to go on this group and offer for sale a brand new 2005 Warrior for under 60k with financeing how many would buy it? Does that include paint? |

Does that include paint? It's a complete airplane except for airframe, engine and avionics. It has tires... but the air to fill them is another $75K. -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.

Interesting! Given that you show a profound lack of understanding of engineering, economics, and business, I have to ask what you did to retire at 43. -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.

You have confused the auto business with the airplane business. Auto manufacturing allows economies of scale unatainable by aircraft mfg. And remember, auto makers break even or lose money on many of their models. Like I said they just need the volume and it could be done. Where is the demand going to come from? There are not enough people interested in flying their own planes to even come close to providing manufacturers any economy of scale. At that price it would replace all of the current old 150 to180 size aircraft. I was shocked when they were shipping seven 767 a month. I think it actually got to 10 or 11 at one point. There is a lot of pilots in the world. I flew my wife to a quilting shop in San Deigo this last week end. I asked the lady there how many of the $20,000 quilting machines they sold last month I thought she would say one or two, they sold 11. |

Interesting! Given that you show a profound lack of understanding of engineering, economics, and business, I have to ask what you did to retire at 43. I had a machine shop that built aircraft parts. It must be you who has no understanding of engineeing econmics and business. What do you do? The plane can be built for the price its the untangibles that might cause the problem like liability insurance. If thats 50k a plane than it cant be done. -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.
