I've been watching the EZ Rocket progress here on the forum. I'm not a pilot. My comment that "I wanted one..." was meant to say that I just like the way it looks, not much else.
I've flown a lot commercially, but that doesn't count when it comes to these types of aircraft.
I may not be a pilot, but the progress toward commercial access to space couldn't seem much slower to a guy who thought we'd have conquered such matters at least a decade ago.
Nobody was much more excited than I when Reagan first talked of a space plane in the mid 1980s. I followed the promise of one forecast after another, which never panned out, to my sorrow.

We spent about thirty years making no progress at all. Now, in just the last 3 or 4 years, huge progress has been made, and more in the pipeline.
Life is good.
