Doesn’t really look that much different from a 152, just freshened and updated. I wonder if they’ll offer a version without the fancy glass cockpit, and if that would reduce the price any.

Not too long ago (relatively) Piper talked about providing the J3 in kit form.
Did anything come of that?

[tcrlaf]

60G’s of that price is most likely the liability cost per aircraft....

I’ll be over on Thursday. Flying in to Appleton.

“Why do you think a $30,000 airplane sells for over $100,000?”

I’ve read a few times that the product liability costs for light aircraft producers more than doubles the cost of the aircraft to the consumer.

I remember an attempt by congress to limit product liability for aircraft manufacturers, but it died.

Treasure Coast Airpark.
I fly an RV6A.

I go to the Tiki once in a while.
Why’d ya stop instructing?
My son is working to get his licence currently out at Indiantown with Jim Howard.

And where do you keep your plane?

[Joe Boucher]

NO, but other comanies have stepped up to the plate.
Knock offs like the legend super cup and many others that nearly copy the cubs attributes. And son=metime far exceed the cubs capabilities.

The little wheel is on the wrong end.

If you can see the mountain what’s the problem?

[freeplancer]

Funny. I wonder how many doctors were weeded out by Bonanazas?!

Congress passed the General Aviation Revitalization Act in 1994. There is now an 18 year statue of respose for FAA certified general aviation aircraft having less than twenty seats. This means that the original manufacturer cannot be held legally liable for injuries caused by one of these aircraft that is more than 18 years old. Passage of this act caused Cessna to resume single engine aircraft production and for the bankrupt Piper Aircraft Company to come back as the New Piper Aircraft.
