If it sounded arrogant, it wasn't meant to be that way. I am "in the biz" so to speak, but aircraft knowlege wise I'm just a babe in the woods compared to some of the experts that I live around and work with here in Wichita. But, I've learned alot about the hands on details of the difference between an experimental plane and a ready for production/mass marketed TC'd one. And, the differences are substantial.
If you are looking for an experimential, then I say go for it! But if you are looking for a production aircraft (i.e. has both TC and PC), then this one is not there yet...if ever.
A plane I think would be fun is a Quest Kodiak. Soon to be certified with floats for water landing and already factory certified as a jump plane.

It was supposed to start at right around 1 mil. Pretty nice jet kinda reminds me of the Lear 23 (in concept)

I also know quite well a Lee Aerospace here in Wichita. If that's the same, I didn't relize they are now part of Triumph.
