The dream is well and throughly alive, this is kit number 014 produced in New Zealand by Falcomposite.
This appears to be the carbon fiber Falco displayed at KOSH several years ago. I thought the dream had vaporized as do so many efforts to create extra ordinary aircraft. Hopefully this is the kit proposed. The Falco is a beautiful plane and a carbon fiber iteration would be my ultimate personal aircraft.
Stelio Frati is smiling up in Heaven! Nice plane, lots of HP! That nose gear looks a bit small, but this is not a bush plane. Good luck to the manufacturer, hope you sell many kits.
