Anti Climax for sure, I have seen the SF50 Jet in flight in Duluth and no doubt a beautiful sight. When originally launched absolutely it could have been a winner, 500 Cirrus owners thought so with $100K deposits and the anticipated price was around $1M and designed and built by Alan Klapmeir.

Many faithful Cirrus owners would naturally have progressed to the Jet.

Now with a price tag circa $2M it puts it in a whole different market and the damage done to the Cirrus fraternity I think it will be a tough battle for them to make money.
