Anyone know why Jimmy Left?
I hope that the change won't effect my near-future kit purchase!
(I've only been planning it for 4 years now!)
Cheers,
Pete

There is truth in the rumors!
I spoke with Keith Wilson today, and he stated there is a management buy
out led by him to be the new owners of Europa worldwide. This will split
Liberty away as a separate (and original) company to concentrate on the
certified aircraft.
The Florida office will remain, although Jimmy Thursby is no longer with
the company.
I believe the support of builders will remain high, and sales efforts of
new kits will continue. A company focused on kits only has to be good.
A letter will be mailed to all kit builders soon.
