While looking to see what the G-loading limits are on the Mooney Bravo for potential virtual airshow use, I stumbled across this:
http://www.avweb.com/news/newacft/182528-1.html

This plane sounds like a LOT of fun! Plus I think a standard Mooney model could be edited to match this plane more easily than a brand spanking new model. Although the pit, performance, feel, and sound would be different.
In a nut shell the Mooney Predator is a 2 place Mooney with smaller flying surfaces, shorter in length, sliding bubble canopy, and the biggest engine they could hang on the airframe! The end result, a Mooney tailor made for aerobatics and a really fun and fast $100 hamburger flight.

I imagine that this airplane would be bad for one's savings....considering if I owned it I would be flying it as much as possible!
