Still stands. I have a very tasty hat and a shoe lined up ready to be consumed. I'll even broadcast it live on Facebook. But I'll bet my hat collection is safe.
And to build 500 a/c per annum, it will require 20 finishing bays working flat out of 50 weeks a year, if each owner has to do a 2 week self- build. Each bay will obviously need some engineers in
doing the work supervising the owner. And of course, the factory will need to bang out the components, airframe, avionics etc etc. It's laughable to make this claim.
