Does anyone think that as well as their own internal problems, the fact that Cessna's offerings of CJ1+ and Mustang seem to be so similar, and from a larger, long established company did Eclipse a considerable amount of damage?
I'm no expert but I get the feeling that if Eclipse had got their product out first then they may have had much better fortune, of course that's pretty much what's being said here but once a new company comes up against someone who can afford to fight back, things become a lot more difficult. Having read and heard a lot about how good the Mustang seems to be, perhaps Eclipse has missed the boat for good?
Anyone have a good idea about the real life comparison? The website figures put the CJ1+ (the nearest competitor based on range) at an advantage pretty much everywhere apart from t/o distance. Don't know how the price compares!
