From the video clip it does seem a bit slow - but I havent a clue what operating parameters are set for a first flight. The climb out isn't even seen as the clip ends before the pilot has even cleaned the aircraft up.

700 - 1000 sales sounds incredible. Guess it depends on the 'new' system to see if they can manufacture that amount. On the sales side the price is so low, and the performance good enough that they are competing with such a diverse range of products that anything is possible.

Nice to see some investment in the industry though whatever happens.

Good luck to them.
