Pipistrel don't lie or exaggerate about ANYTHING.... our performance is documented and fully validated by NASA. Please look at the results of the green flight challenge where you will see speeds, economy and performance listed for the 80 horsepower engine and also the 100 horsepower engine in a near identical airframe.
Regarding pricing, the first 10 aircraft which have been sold to the USA are delivered flying etc for just $85,000. This was the agreement for the first 10 aircraft sold, the price is now slightly higher (by a few thousand dollars) because we are changing the configuration and adding different instruments including an artificial horizon and FAA legal lights for night-time flying. (the release customers got these items at no additional charge).
The price of the aircraft has gone up by the additional cost of these items only but is still under $90,000 delivered.
