The problem is this really does not look like an all weather aircraft
Fuji does a PA28? the plus with this is that you could land at a small airfield and complete the trip by road if the weather ahead looks suspect!

Would love to see a flight test and road test to see how good it is in both deprtments but the big plus is landing at an airfield driving out to your destination.

You could even put in for one as a company car Think of the reps productivity increase

Day trip to to the isle of wight, jersey, isle of man,lake district etc and just drive off sightseeing for the day.

At least with FAA approval the thing is a reality. Still dont understand why they have two wheels at the front which will add drag weight etc.

The tried and tested Bond Bug concept of 2 wheels at the back and 1 wheel in front and more in line with conventional aircraft would surely have improved the landing ability as well as speed, climbrate, carrying capacity etc makes no sense.
