Super Video thank you ! and I heard the actual situation ( as of Sept 2018) the aircraft is far most advanced and was almost ready , pulling the plug after so much efforts is extremely painful for all those that worked on it, especially the volunteers..
@volume :
[...]not EASA to deal with it . The exact problem was the plan to make it airworthy for "commercial air transport", which is much more complex than having an experimental certification
thanks for the EASA correction , although I am not the only one to have this belief ( see above video 23:10) Many here do not understand why they could not let it on N registration and fly it like they do with US old timers , like the B17 and the ford Trimotor of Oshkosh ..who do carry pax around in the same way that D-AQUI was doing..... Also wanting to "electronize" raised costs and complexity. I believe ..
