     Yeah, I'm not so sure about this current trailer update, but I gotta add that Hawley Bowlus was a genius designer of aircraft, particularly gliders and sailplanes.  In WWII, when the US Army was looking for ways to deliver heavy equipment (tanks, artillery, large amounts of supplies, etc.) to the battlefield, the Department commissioned different glider manufacturers to attempt to design gliders for the task.  Within weeks, Bowlus designed a glider big enough to carry a tank but efficient enough to be towed by a C-47 (DC-3).  The "Brass" was pushing for a flight test as soon as possible, so Bowlus loaded up his prototype with tons of sandbags for a demo.  The glider flew like a dream but unfortunately the load of sandbags shifted and threw the glider out of control.  Hawley Bowlus was killed in the crash.  It was a tremendous loss to America's aviation knowledge -- if Bowlus had been around during the rest of WWII and the high-technology years afterwards, who knows what could have been accomplished.
    Oh, and if this new design keeps the front-facing door, it better have a good water seal on that door.

Yes, it really costs $110,000.  Nice design and would be a great seller at 1/3 the price.
