They stopped producing single engine aircraft because due to their own
stupidity their product liability insurance premiums became outrageous
and more importantly, it became obvious that corporate jets were
radically more profitable to build with their cheap Wichita floor space
and Kansas scab state labor.

The solution to me is simple, although far from obvious....outlaw
product liability insurance. When it's fight or die, they will build a
defensible airplane (they do for ag pilots) and never, never, never
settle out of court. Trial lawyers will quit taking small aircraft
cases on contingent fee arrangements and the problem will stop-what
attorney wants to be handed the keys to a cheesily built plant in
central Kansas???
