Interesting - there does seem to be one or two others, who have doubts about this lovely retro art work, its performance (?) & practicality (?).

 

They may not be quit as vocal, as the mouth from The Oaks but then I am the one who calls out the gimmicks, faith operators , et al  and does the "pack love to howl."

 

Take me task, in 10 years, when the SE-1 is as common as a Jab - one in every hanger - Not going to happen!

 

Seems to me , that most light aircraft pilots, love the idea of a single seater, tail wheel aircraft, that just looks great. There are a few around, never big sellers - what do the people  purchase, in the cold light of day - a Jab (or similar) why because your SE-1 is a fantasy. Fantasys are wonderful, very few are willing to pay for one, even fewer will do much flying in one (hanger Queen). 😈

if you had one why wouldn't you fly it.   most people want 2 seaters but more often than not the right seat is empty most of the time.

Ah! You didn't actually reference my comments.

 

I believe this was in the context of a rich persons play thing/demonstration of wealth  ie I can afford to own an expensive/impractical toy. Such toys are often parked in locations (hanger) for others to admire.😈

It's really not that expensive. Even a rag and tube kit like my xair won't give you any change out of 50k with engine and instruments these days.

And you still have to build it.

Actually I won't argue. Thanks anyway 😁

Desperation over ruling sound Judgement. The Casualty is TRUST. AND most People do not WANT  this.. dare I say, "Obsessive"  Behaviour.  . Nev

[facthunter]

This FORUM Goes World wide and I'm much ashamed of the Unfounded Criticism (by YOU) of a Good Real Life Flying Machine being tested in the Marketplace. THAT takes GUTS. Your comments Skip, are really OFF. and reflect badly on the Quality of discussion this site. . It 'so easy to criticise. How would YOU like it if you had put a Plane on the Market backed with your Money and copped a drubbing like you have Handed out.? Nev

I don't think calling people dogs is helping. It's extremely insulting even though I don't think that's your intention

Thank you for bring me up short on this BrendAn.

 

I apologise to those who may have taken offence.

 

On reflection, I feel ashamed of allowing myself to be sucked in by the unwarranted personal attacks on me (TROLLING?) in this thread.

 

I draw your attention to the personal comments (not addressing my observations of the SE-1) that start quite mildly, on page 2, get progressively more personal & insulting from then on.

 

It is both expected and fair, that an opinion you do not agree with, or wish for expansion on, should be challenged - its not reasonable that this should deteriorate  into a personal attack.

 

Having heard no logical/factual comment to the contrary, my opinion of the SE-1 has not changed. I would not purchase one, all the best to those that will or aspire to.
