I heard that the guy in the UK who got the SportCruiser through as an LAA kit lost his position as the UK importer at the same time as Chip's departure...
That was when the new importer suddenly appeared (!) and then that was all going to get interesting as Piper UK (part of Piper Germany) felt that they ought to be the UK rep for the PiperSport (not surprisingly). In fact, I also heard the Piper UK had just won that battle before Piper pulled the plug.
At the time of the Piper deal, it was also mentioned that (allegedly), Chip had some kind of rights over the SC and Piper had paid the wrong person/people...!
Anyone know if there was any substance to the above rumours?
