"... Cessna needs to deliver up to 700 SkyCatchers each year."

Interesting number - appears to be comparable to the number of RV-7 kits
that Van's Aircraft claims to ship per year (Van's magazine ads say "Two
RV-7 kits leave Van's aircraft every day to builders all over the world.")

Of course the specs for the RV-7 outclass the SkyCatcher by a wide margin.

And you need to add in RV-4, RV-8, RV-9, RV-10 and maybe even -12
kits.

Only the 12 may be comparable to the Skycatcher.
