Well, no actually, just something that would replace the PA38/C152.
They got that in the Boomerang. The PA38 was designed and built as a trainer, the 150/152 was actually intended as a tourer. FWIW, I think the Boomerang is a great little machine, maybe, as in all prototypes/early models there is the need for adjustments and improvements. Take the stall strips on the T'hawk for example.
It just costs so much to design/manufacture and have certified any VH intended aircraft in Australia. Christ i was there when the Gazelle gained certification.....under the same tests a Warrior would have flown to bits!! I have approx 3000hrs in a traumakhawk and distinctly liked what i found when i flew the Boomerang....but with all the RAA available at the moment economics come into play. I think had times been different (GFC/downturn in aviation) the little bird may have had a chance.
