It looks pretty cool to me, and especially the kit-plane aspect.

If it is true, some of the design specs seems pretty crazy.  Almost a 3,000 foot ground roll?  I'm pretty sure CRJ's take off in a shorter distance than that.  Close to a 300mph cruise speed on two diesel engines?  Seems kinda fishy to me..

Hmm, so it sounds like a high-speed-only aircraft, bummer :(
