Couldn't find any threads that talk about this one...any news? Looks like it's still more or less vaporware, but it sounded like it really had potential...not to mention their site is still alive and kicking:

Re: MySky One / MSONE
Site is alive, but it looks not to have been updated in over a year. The address for contact is in Spruce Creek; I'll have to poke around next time I'm down there.
Their speed claims are credible, given that they went with tandem seating (thus minimizing frontal area and reducing drag).
Not sure their weight figures are believable. The engine they chose is 38 pounds heavier than the Rotax 912 ULS, yet their empty weight is claimed to be about 40 pounds less than the lighter of the composite Rotax powered aircraft. The only way to accomplish that is to make the fuselage and wings very light, which has structural implications. Still, I do wish them well...

Re: MySky One / MSONE
I started getting excited when I learned the Jabiru 3300 prefers 100LL over mogas, only because mogas is such a pain to get at KTTN...and I think it's a slick looking little plane.
If it ever reaches production, it'll be interesting to see what the weight will be...supposedly, that's a 10-G capable wing on that thing.
