Why were there not many Pazmany PL4's built ?

Here's one I saw Fly back in 1982 at Red Deer Alberta

A USAF Advisor to the Tiawan Air Force suggested they build a Pazmany
as a primary trainer for the Tiawan Air Force.

They built over 50 of them and assisted the Air Force Advisor in
building one for him on their production line using their tooling
which he shipped back to States.

Interesting that many countries are choosing to build and use
kitplanes for their primery trainers. *I think I read elsewhere that
the Iraqi Air Force is using several different types of kitplanes,
AeroComp, Inc.s Comp Air 7SL being one of them, although not as a
trainer. *http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123019902

The Nigerian Airforce has RV6's.

France had some Emeraudes, but they were the certified European production
model.

Does that mean that RV6's, Emeraudes, and any other of the ilk are qualified
to park on the Warbird line? That'd be kinda neat! Those big iron drivers
always seem to get good parking and "crew members" with great looking
tushes. )

Those alleged crew members are actually "Hangar Princesses" since those old
heavy iron warbirds are the real "Hangar Queens"

We must not forget that the Peruvian Air Force bought a fleet of CGS
Hawks, however I've only heard what may be an urban legend about one
being armed. I think that it was a test of the super strafer model
during the great Ohio paint ball war.

If you read Pazmany's book " Light Airplane Construction for amateur
builders" you will see that the PL series of planes looks pretty work
intensive. More like a factory built than your basic homebuilt. Looks
like 16 ribs on each wing and 7 bulkheads in the tailcone. It is well
put together and no doubt a strong design ,but complicated to build.
