stevens - I suspect you are right.
By contrast, Cessna took their time, designed their own using in-house expertise, made some embarrassing public mistakes but survived them, and is now about to enter a market which their most obvious competitor has just apparently withdrawn from.
The perils of early adoption! Cessna do look positioned to do very well over the next couple of years in this market however.
This month's AAIB bulletins are worth a read by the way - a Sportcruiser that overran a runway, and in investigation it seems that the take-off distance quoted in CSA's manual (and Piper's for that matter) is 55% of what LAA measured it to be. That doesn't exactly give you high confidence in any other aspect of the product's engineering does it.
