JH knows his timescales were made up (he Pm'd me to say exactly that, when he was pretending to be someone else).

And otherwise?

- The made up price point The £495k initial price was chosen to sound like it's similar to a supercar. It just cannot be done.

- Why build his own engine?

- Why is his corporate structures so complex?

- Why does he have no employees?

- Why does he have his personal fingers in absolutely everything? Design, manufacture, finance, procurement, insurance etc etc

- What happens if JH gets runs over by a bus?

​​​​​​Other than the above, sign me up! Seriously, I weirdly hope that I am being a sceptic, that it all works out and I will tip my hat to you brave guys that made it happen. And I will regret not selling my legacy Bell 206 while the prices were high.
