I think you mean "way ugly".

I didn't think an airplane uglier than a Zenair existed...

The visibility out the front is appealing.

A bit ugly perhaps.... The double slotted flaps are pretty effective earth repellants too!

I agree it's all about the mission.

Take the time to see all it can do (there's even more video on it floating around on the net -like it jumping off a cliff over an ice field) and you will see that it was most definitely designed for mission / function, with little or no concern about aesthetics. In defense of that design priority, the moon lander wasn't pretty either....

If I had the money it's going to cost, I would have one in the hangar next to my fox.

That has got to be one expensive Prptotype. Twin engine, that plex bubble probably a small fortune. I'd bet he spent $200,000 building it.

2 Rotax 914s. Well, that's $60,000.00 right there...

$60,000 humm, pocket change.
