Would you like to fly very fast, and cheap and impress the passenger?

When I got my pilot's license in 1980, I trained at a Piper dealer who had a Piper Malibu on site. I never flew it because it required a lot more training and approval but admired it. Turns out the designers left Piper to create a Questair Venture which is the subject of this video.

Question for now. Would you learn to fly or use this airplane if available to you?
Watch this video to learn much more and if you want, tell us what you think of it?

If you must go 800 miles, it takes just 2 hours to get there and you do not check in with anybody.

Sure. I'm Type Rated in over a dozen aircraft.

Landing gear looks a lot like the FB-111 design.

Great, it goes fast and so easy to fly that even a low timer like I can handle it....But can it carry anything more than a bag of golf clubs?....What's the utility?

There's a few of these "executive aircraft" in the works who's sole job is to get you to a meeting quickly but waaay cheaper than a jet.

Executives love to think they are competent, but they rarely are, so they are working on these things.

I have to check that out. I believe a shortcoming is just that, tiny place for luggage.
