Fred , All
I guess I should have been more explicit. I was shown by Andy replacement
molded
parts for the "glass over foam" parts.
They had a fuselage and other parts setting there getting ready for shipping to
a UK customer. They said that there most urgent effort was to support the
builder
who are in the process of building their kit.
I did over hear a conversation (before the door was closed) of "flight test" on
something that is being worked on.
You suggest LSA , very possible. I know for sure they are not just sitting
around
and taking it easy. There is something going on.

Cliff,
That sound's fascinating...when you say the kit could "have new all
molded parts, I saw the prototypes.", do you literally mean
"all"?...e.g., did you see new moulds for...say...cowls?, wings?,
fuselage?
What evidence did you see of complete kits going out the door?
With the new Light Sport Aircraft category, I've wondered whether they
might put the Europa on a diet, discard the retractable mono, go back
to the 80 hp 912, and just slip under the maximum allowable performance
for the LSA(?).
...just speculation on my part,
Fred
