You are not wrong JetJr.

LSA is a can of worms for aircraft manufacturers and owners.

If any one of these European aircraft manufacturers goes belly-up, then Aussie private operators and flying schools have 30 days before their birds are grounded and then transferred to experimental registration, thus rendering their flying school and income potential zero, or at least until they can get another aircraft on-line.

If Jabiru went under, the majority of schools with Jabiru aircraft are gone in 30 days.

I'm thinking though and I know it's different..... Cessna stopped making aircraft and General Aviation didn't cease across the world.
