I guess the "marketers" of the million (plus) dollar "Homebuilt" jets are

My personal opinion is that very very few people will be able to
afford the new superlight bus jets. Perhaps enough to keep the
companys afloat for a while but they are definately not what
homebuilding is about.

That doesn't matter to Air Venture though, they're a big time business
now, with many interests. Homebuilding will always be a part of what
they do, but their increasing diversification means that it will play
a lesser and lesser role.

I can't even afford a certified aircraft engine, let alone a light
jet. I suspect a lot of homebuilders are in the same financial
situation.
