What's a brand new Cessna 172 or Cherokee PA-28 cost in Australia? Last time I checked it was a big scary number. As a so called "proven" design I would have thought it be a lot cheaper by now, but they've gone and added that poxy glass cockpit which probably accounts for more cost than the engine and airframe combined to pay for all those software engineers. I wonder how much these simple planes would really cost without all that electronic jazz.
