Having seen both the 172 and 182, the 172 option is DUMB. The 182 with the SMA engine is the smarter of the two…….BUT.

………………anyone know why they have had two (2) engine failures in the certification test process so far?

I have said this before……I would like to try one but it would get the same VFR flight that I would do in a two stroke ultralight.
