Cool

Just a question CL300 you come from the HS125 or the GLEX ...just wondering how you can compare if not?

7x is a good acft for pilots (it's like flying a fighter jet with fbw), though I agree it doesn't look as big as a Glex or GV but that's not the philosphy behind it....it's fuel consumption and "unrefuled range concept" i.e how far can you go after a short hop at mach 0.8 to the MLW of the Glex for example (78600lbs) you have #3800 nm remaining range without refueling left at mach .80 as a comparaison on 7x you have #5100 nm left ( that is 1300nm more).
Once again I am just talking about what i know and just wanted to clarify some concepts rather than saying wich aircraft is better than other...(mine is bigger than yours is also on the same level)
