Not surprised, it's a rare bird, only about 300 of them built, probably less than that flying now. The designer, Christopher Heintz, is big in the experimental world. He designs simple planes that fly well. He originally designed Avion Robins certified aircraft in Europe (I flew one if his designs there once when visiting England).
This one was his attempt to get into the training market, and was built in South Georgia. Unfortunately, it just never sold enough to maintain the business model. Aircraft are just too damn expensive for a "start up".
I've been thinking about getting something with a little more empty weight and a little more speed so we can use if for some Mom and DadHawk travel now that the kids are out of the house but right now I'm really happy with this one.
