Why were there not many Pazmany PL4's built ?

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

All of his airplanes are quite complex to build. They're al beuatifully
engineered, but have about twice the build time of any equivelant airplane.
You see very few PL-1s and there are only two PL 9 Storchs that look like
they will be completed. I've seen one of the Storchs under construction and
the complexity is just mindblowing. You could knock out a Volksplane in a
few months ( not hard to build a wing in a weekend) and a Jeanie's Teenie
wasn't much more complicated either. The PL4 is a structural jewel, though,
and it's handbook was sold as a "how to" for amateur construction.
