Right. Their also available as kits, fast-build kits, and fully
built, I believe.

Nice airplanes. But I have to say that the names they chose leave a
lot to be desired.


In this era of rapid globalization, we can expect a lot more of that
sort of thing. The names are probably quite respectable to those
whose native tongue is Yugoslavian, but I'm not sure what ATC would
make of them.

It's hard to believe someone could achieve it, but
these names are even worse than "SkyCatcher".


But the aircraft seem superior in performance and price to Cessna's
LSA vaporware!
