Finally!

[EDR]

I just received the latest issue of SPORT AVIATION.
New Piper has finally announced their version of the flat panel.
Better late than never.
BTW... it's only for the six seat aircraft (at this time).

Yeah, you've got to wonder why they waited so long.

But, then, I wonder about EVERYTHING Piper does -- starting with why no one
from Piper apparently ever monitors these groups.

O.K., now that Piper has finally introduced your dream machine, you've both
put down deposits, right? Right?...

Happy Flying!

Only the designers of the original Malibu, but they are early to
mid-1980's machines. Maybe Windows v1.0, pre-Internet Explorer.

Oh, they monitor these groups. They've seen so many people talk about how ridiculous
it is to spend 160K and more for a new plane and how Cessna hasn't improved a damn
thing in the new 172 and how the 172 is the same old 30 year old design, and they've
come to the conclusion that they might just as well build planes the way they always
have, 'cause you guys aren't going to buy them anyway.

Sounds like the winning strategy that American Motors Corporation used.

It's a miracle they're still in business.

Picture the emergency meeting at New Piper where they tried to deal with
the fact that Cessna sold out a year's production of piston singles
practically overnight by introducing the flat panel option.That had to
cost NP some sales. Wonder what the guy who turned down the Garmin deal
the first time had to say.
