That's rather swish isn't it. I had to laugh at the average age of the crowd. The wife would say they're all boring old gits like me

Dave, maybe you are an old git like me (except I am even older), but I disagree with the boring bit!
Only £50,000 - I'll have to start saving now.

Just a bit put off by the pusher prop and canard. I'm a stick in the mud, and though I can see some advantages of a rear engine, give me a traditional layout any time. OK there were a few pushers around in 1916, but I don't see them as "traditional."
BTW Nigel, how many musical performances to reach 100 monkeys?

It looks like a rather less elegant copy of Bert Rutan's vari-eze, one of which I flew a few times about 30 years ago . That did have a more conventional power unit however ( O200 IIRC ) and was certainly quieter !
