They spent a lot of money getting it through new EASA regs- not a
performance thing. If they sell over 50 I'll be suprised. They where
successful with the ASH25 - but misjudged the market by trying to produce a
direct replacement.

It ain't going to keep up with JS1C, EB29 or Quintus - so why buy one to
compete in Open class? It has too much wing area, too big a fuselage and
too low a wingloading to be competitive. As a recreational ship it maybe OK
- but then everyone is buying 20m two seaters - hence the rush to get the
ASG32 into production.
