Well friend, after a hiatus of a couple years (attending to keeping my main business out of bankruptcy) we are finally seeing some daylight at the end of the tunnel, and are able to pull some of our aircraft projects out of the closet, dust them off, and get back to work - albeit slowly.
We have recently begun working on our engine development for the Solo again. We will be offering several iterations of several core engines, based on the Generac and the Weber.
We were fortunate to be included in the May issue of Kitplanes magazine, as a part of Dean Sigler's article.
It has been the kick in the pants that we have needed to get going again! However, we are extremely limited on space and personnel this time around, so I'm not exactly sure how long it will take to get something flying, but we are hoping for sometime this year. Once we actually have a few in the air, and go through the anticipated improvements and modifications, we will then begin the task of ASTM certifying the airframe and engines. Right now, it's all a pipe dream, but we do not intend to give up. We will eventually get the Envoy project going as well.
I won't be making any regular announcements about our development, probably until the first one is flying.
But I just wanted to say "Hi" and let you know I'm still alive and kicking, and may eventually approach some of you to assist us in different components of our development (if and when funds allow).
Blessings, Rienk
