Only in my dreams. First started dreaming in 2018 when I found an ad for an unbuilt 25 year old Lancair 235 kit for $8k. It appears that Tailwind (fixed gear) falls between 2 seat Lancair (retracts) and RV-8 (fixed) in efficiency / straight line speed, and should be cheaper than either. Making the fuselage a lifting body was apparently a stroke of genius, it's not as beautiful as a Lancair but it's pretty darn fast for fixed gear, especially considering the age of the design.
