Whilst there are many SportCruisers on the UK reg, the vast majority are kit-built ones, not EASA Permit factory built ones and certinly no PiperSports as there is no EASA approval for FAA LSAs and the Restricted Type Certificate (RTC) hasn't been finalised yet. Therefore comparisons with the numbers of certified aircraft like the TECNAM P2002 isn't entirely fair.
There's certainly some very cleverly worded adverts in the media for the PiperSport that implies it is here, selling by the dozen (or two) and available for flying training use. Not so. Driving around in a SportCruiser with PiperSport stickers on it has apparently raised more than a few eyebrows on both sides of the pond.
Who will win the PiperSport importation in the UK eventually? The present company or Piper UK? Now that could be an interesting story to read....
Bit of professional foot shooting telling tales of professionally built SportCruisers - that should get the LAA interested - and rightly so.
