Eclipse

Not even fully certified, cant fly in IMC above 3-5000ft legally
Small cabin - think Seneca not a jet
Backup and customer support in EU.................(heloooooo - anybody there)
3000s order probably 1/2 speculative - 100 delivered so far
Avionics - yes very nice, does it work? are they reliable?
Cof G issues????
Keep going to court with their major component suppliers
Are they having certification problems. I assume IMC issues will be solved with certification?
Again, once certified and more widespread, won't the customer support improve?
Any reason why the avionics won't work?
C of G????????

Just seems to me that at about $1 million cheaper to purchase, cheaper to operate, with slightly better TO/Ldg performance, more speed, almost identical range..............
