Abid, are specs available yet, gross weight, payload capability ect. Would love to know more about it. Also, will the prices be stable, or tied to a foreign currency exchange?

PRICES are in USD and only related to Euro in as much as Rotax engine and Averso Stella rotors that come from Europe have an effect on them. Everything else is in USD so should not be tied to Euro. Rotax prices do fluctuate in the US depending on Kodiak distributor. Generally twice a year. The prices will be kept in check and be competitive to European brands. We have given lower pricing to our first batch of orders as these customers/dealers have trusted in us and they deserve a break. I had all slots filled in for first batch but one has opened up for possible sale due to health issues that one owner has unexpectedly come across. Beyond that other orders will be in batch#2
