The IS28b2 Lark is not the perfect trainer, it's heavy to rig, not as docile as a Schweizer, but it's rugged, has decent performance, looks great, and is all metal. Why the Romanians dont get it together to put it back into production is a mystery to me, especially in light of the potential demand. They were very affordable in their day (which may be why IAR is in bankruptcy) but maybe they could still be reasonably priced.

It's a good solid design with a type certificate already in place. How much would you pay for a brand new Lark today? Does anybody know if IAR or anybody is considering building them again?
