Right on Boofhead. For an aircraft designed to a mil spec it did pretty well. I flew all variations N22B N24 N24A N22S and Floatplane. It was starved of development funds and political backbone. The knocker syndrome - mainly from Mil who apparently wanted a 'real' aeroplane and being attacked by CASA airworthiness as an easy local target, made it a PR nightmare. The T tail, more SHP, new engine cowls, simplify the wing flaps and the gear, design out all the AD's and better sound proofing - If that can be done under the existing TC, great oppotunity for GippsAero.
