We are starting in experimental, working with Sling Aircraft for the airframe, factory build assist, etc to prove out the exact product that we want to take to certification in the future.

Thanks for the reply. This is a super interesting project and I wish you great success. As a builder/pilot I have so many little questions, mostly around how you're making all the trade-offs and decisions that pilots make based on the situation in the air (leaning for cruise / power, climb and descent rates, weather-related decisions, switching tanks, and so on). Do you anticipate equipping / certifying the airplane and systems for instrument flight? Is your entire avionics package custom, or do you use some off-the-shelf?
