I cant see any flying school even looking at it.

Its costs $60,000 more than the standard archer, and the gearbox requires replacement every 600 hrs. It is also lower performance than the Avgas aircraft.

Sorry Mr Piper, you will have to do better than that.

Now if EPS did a 4 cylinder version of their flat 8, that might be a goer.
