I hear that Robin are in receivership. However, they are still producing and have a good stock of unsold machines.
I also hear that parts will not be a problem - although haven't they always been a bit of a problem??
Lets keep our fingers crossed that they will survive. It would be a devastating blow if they were to go tits up.
I will leave you with these numbers - Robin 180: Fixed gear & Prop yet 135kt plus (book says 145..). 635kg empty/ 1100kg MAUW, fuel capacity 240 lit, MAUW unfactored takeoff: 320metres. Add to this a delightful, well harmonised aircraft with superb visibility and comfort.
No _ I don't work for them, I just own one!
