That is interesting.

I am sure you will not have people asking if it is real or not.

:D

You guys don't think it is real, why? Apparently it costs $250k, comes with a trailer and lessons for two people.

There was an artical in one of the autorags about Icon, base price starts around $125-139 and the plane is custom ordered to the buyers specs. The other part was the optional engine packages allowing for pump gas as an option to av-gas. They already have orders so it looks like it will happen.

So have a lot of people, oh, say a certain Mr. Lubinsky! Orders do not a product make.

Personally - I dont think its real because there is no background and the undercarriage keeps changing depending on the shot.

Which I interpret as the model being used to generate different frames of the video while in various states of completion, those frames/images later stitched together for form the video

In all those shiny surfaces the lighting is very consistent and I didnt see a reflection of the camera/operator

...but that's just how I see it

edit - also looked at the 'investors' page while at the site ...

"Leave the boat at home this weekend" is a phrase on their site.

Will be a ***** to ski behind.
