All that money to build an over-priced, unsafe copy of a 150?

cuando este proyecto se presento en oshkosh 2007,le hice notar a Neil junto con reportar mis impresiones en una encuesta que se le hacia al publico en general ,acerca de que a simple vista no me parecia seguro en una posible recuperacion de spin,el me dijo que en las simulaciones en computador aparecia no tener problemas,ante esta respuesta insisti diciendole que alrededor de la exhibicion habian por lo menos 5 diferentes aviones en la misma categoria,con notables aletas dorsales y grades timones ,que ese timon se veia muy pequeno y que tradicionalmente los mismos aviones de la compania tenian como caracteristica este dispositivo.
lamento mucho que cessna no haya aprovechado mejor la experiencia de otros fabricantes de la categoria y los sugerncias de personas con experiencia.
