Apologies for any offence my comments may have caused, there is none meant by it, Its a great aircraft, and like anything new will need time to sort out all the teething problems, the jokes we made about it being Italian were comparing to an Alfa Romeo cars, fantastic cars that look great, fantastic to drive but you wont be surprised if you have some problems, lets be truthful about that.
We did have a few electrical issues but the support from Italy was top notch, they had new parts sent out staright away, the problem is it will be compared in the traning market to something like a Senneca that has had years and years of development to get everything working, either that or just had "INOP" stickers glued all over the instrument panel.
I think if they sacrificed the amazing fuel burn for a bit more powerful engines, you would have one hell of an aircraft.
