Bird Strike,
On your '150kt' post, I suggested Glasair, as my G1 with 160hp exceeds your requirement by 20kts. You have obviously become hooked by this undreamt of world of unbelievable performance with superb flying characteristics!
'Deing' understates the G3's in the UK - there are about 5 flying, and some more building in addition to the turbine one.
At least one of these is on a CAA approved programme to be accepted for IFR/night flight.
However, I understood that you are in Aussieland, where your powers that be did a major analysis several years ago. Sensible people they are, and, subject to some straightforward and reasonable checks, they allow homebuilts to fly with all privileges of certified a/c. See the website of the Oz equivalent to the PFA - www.saaa.com.
