Sunfish is on the money, RAA's fate was sealed with the RPL in Part 61 (aided and abetted by their own failure to implement a robust registration process).
The final nail was CAsA's perception of their inaction on the Jabiru engine "issue", and they played directly into that CAsA perception by their own figures on failures - talk about an own goal.
Speaking of own goals, Jabiru themselves have not handled this well. It may well be that they've listened to their customers and fixed the through bolt and valve train issues - but if that's the case, they've communicated it abysmally.
It matters not what they say now, but there was a moment in time when they could have captured the high ground .......
