I think you'll find that you can buy new, factory complete SportCruisers - certainly they were being sold as such at Friedrichshafen last week (and were available as such before Piper were involved - there's one based at Wycombe).

The problem is that they are on an EASA Permit to Fly so can be used for for private use only. And no one knows where the PtF against Restricted Type Certificates/LSAs etc will go if/when EASA get to grips with it.

What you really want is the much nicer to fly, Tecnam P2002-JF - a certified VLA machine available for flying training/hire and private use (including Night/VFR)....

Next spring should see the certified P2008 available for those that like very pretty high wing machines (as opposed to the C162...!).
