Similar to a Jabiru type aircraft at least. It could be that the cheapest way for them is to put a potentially successful homebuilt into production, just as Liberty has done with the XL2, developed from the Europa...

Unfortunately for Alaska, plastic airplanes are taking over. Imagine repairing rock, bird, tree, gear ect. damage from one of those versus the ever so easy art of riveting. Come on up to Alaska one of these days and look at the airplanes. ALL of them have repairs on them, because we actually use our airplanes! Plastic airplanes invite problems.
Another reaosn that tube and fabrice is so nice, You tear a chunk out of the fuselage from the brush you landed on, and all you do it get some more fabric, some glorified glue, and you have a patch!
I hate plastic planes... They are too Nike* and lack the classic look of the 60's era all metal airplanes, or the utility of fabric aircraft.
* The complete and utter poliferation of the swooshey curvy shapes in all things made since the Nike swoosh. Look at the original Piper Comanche paint jobs. Those are cool, not one swoosh.
