Tut tut.........they said it couldnt be done, and if you ignore the recent Eclipse hype then that is exactly what is happening.
The Eclipse is looking a rockier proposition by the week.
Since last November and the much hyped first delivery (which by the way went back to the factory immediately, and is still there !!), its been delays, certification issues, lawsuits due delivery delays. Really much as Dimbleby (he's been around) forecast.
And then the performance figures came out. Ooooooh - the pain that must have caused many with their money down.
Then two weeks ago Eclipse and Avidyne (Avionics) finally parted company. God knows how the new Avio partners (three different companies) can fit in to the production line up!?
Finally yesterday the long awaited bust up (rumoured this past two months) with United Airlines Training eventually happened.
So there you go, no final avionics package, no training organisation......still think you are getting the Eclipse this year? or next year for that matter? or......(Dont say it D).
For aN additional larf, go to their website and have a GOOD look at their training requirements and recurrency/mentor requirements.
