The bigest problem with the "rice rocket" is that they are now cheap , so folks who shouldnt fly anything faster than a 172 are buying them {lawyers, doctors, and others with a few bucks} the aircraft is in fact the airframe of choice for some of our medivac outfits, what else can plonk into 2500ft of gravel and the keep up with the traffic into New York? One FAA type said to me that they have replaced the V tail Bonanza as the "Fork Tailed Doctor Killer" It is an aircraft that requires much training on and a sound grasp of its workings, niether of which many owners seem to want to do.The only thing I really dont like is refueling the thing from a single hose bowser,back and forth with the ladder to keep it from sagging to one side.
