Looks like Euro 11,850, so today would be about $15,200.

Looks nice, but who's going to step up and be first to fly behind it? :)

If I had your flight experience I would too! I need to leave test pilot duties to the more experienced. :oops:

The D-Motor is being offered in Barnstormers now by an American distributor.Just a mere $17500(for the first 10)gets you 95hp at only 125lbs all up weight. http://www.barnstormers.com/ad_detail.php?ID=712799

125lbs complete FWF?! Wow!
I suspect you'd have to move the engine a fair whack forward for CG reasons.

I'll be interested in seeing the first Sonex flying with this one.
