Well, you may have been wondering where I was, and why I haven't been updating my blog. The truth of the matter is I've been real busy, and just couldn't get motivated. I witnessed first hand "Snowmaggedon" in New Jersey/Philadelphia area and will write about that in future articles. (It's all about the future of Air Traffic Control and general aviation) The big news, if you haven't already heard about it, we have severed ties with Remos Aircraft. I still believe the Remos to be a fine aircraft, but we have reached a point of irreconcilable difference. The current $150k + price tag is just too far removed from our vision of an affordable LSA. I won't go through all the reasons for our decision, but suffice it to say, we have other projects on the burner. I went flying yesterday, by myself, for the first time in months. I practiced steep turns, lazy eights, got in a few landings. Yes instructors need to stay current too. At one point, I was circling the river with a bald eagle. He didn't seem to mind, and it came to my mind what it is about flying I love so much. I experienced one of those clarity of thought moments, and decided it was time to update the blog. Sorry for the absence. Next week, we'll be heading down to Florida to take in some Cardinal pre-season games, so spring can't be far behind.

Jack, you should take a look at the Tecnam Echo Classic. Nicely equipped for under $110K, we have one in Richmond, VA and would love to show you!
I was at the AOPA conference a few years back and I thought the REMOS at the time was about $95K. I was shocked when I found out it is at least $130K now. I agree with you 100% about the corporate bureaucrazy and the advertisement driving the up the prices and making it not affordable anymore. This is so against the concept of LSA making flying affordable. I hope the REMOS folks will realize this and reverse course.
