Re: New(er)? Plane EV-55 Outback
guess ill have to wait till next christmas. wonder how long till they're flying in Canada.
Re: New(er)? Plane EV-55 Outback
Hmm.. They say they're going to offer a float variant... But they also said they were going to have its first flight in the first half of 2010, or 3rd quarter of 2010... Depending on which paragraph you quote. My guess is that it is still going to be awhile before we see one delivered commercially. But does look promising.

Re: New(er)? Plane EV-55 Outback
The company is currently looking for further investment (from what I've read elsewhere) before the first flight will occur.

I like the looks of this plane. Too bad it only goes 220. It looks like it should be faster.
Re: New(er)? Plane EV-55 Outback
too bad they have -21 engines listed. i don't even think these are made anymore.
they should make sure it is pressurized and make it long enough to seat 19 pax. there is nothing new in the 19 seat pressurized market.

Don't be disgruntled....move on!
Re: New(er)? Plane EV-55 Outback
The US limits Part 135 to 9 pax for scheduled service. Comparable to any 'ho. Speculating on the 9 pax config.
I'd assume the US could be a big chunk of their market, if this ever gets off the ground. It's be a great replacement for the 30,000hr + PA31's we have here...

Looks like a DHC-6, C-208 and a Beech 99 had a 3 way and spawned this.. ..... (IMHO)
