I presume you mean Connie Edwards's dual-control Buchon?
If the pilot was suitably qualified, and I MEAN lots of hours on type, not just ten or so per year, then I would go up in it if the price was right.
But getting a pilot properly trained on a particular type is very expensive, so I don't know if an organisation could be financially viable flying something like a Buchon/109, because given the landing characteristics of the type, if the pilot is not properly trained then I think it would be foolhardy for a passenger to go up in it.
Just my simple opinion, take it or leave it as you like....
