CaptainKing - AIN ran this feature on the program last month, in which Frank R. tempers his expectations of the R66 ("fuel consumption is too…high and parts costs are too high"). The article also suggests deliveries are more likely to commence in 2010 rather than '09. Given the depth of the current recession (which may well stretch into 2011) it's not a great time to launch a new GA-targeted project, so later may be better.
