* Frank, the Puchatek AKA "Puke Attack" is a decent trainer. Pretty
rugged, roomy, good visibility and comfort. Looks/feels a bit
utilitarian. You can instruct speed to fly, spins and low energy
touchdown. It winches nicely. There's even an instrument panel in the
back seat and a usable baggage compartment. The wheel brake is a
separate pull handle.
* They've had a few ADs, think the latest was airbrake actuators. The
lack of a continued airworthiness (was it actually 5000 hours?)
inspection program will be the end of them.
Barry Aviation (Peregrine) haven't updated their website in many
years.

Thanks for the comments.

True, but they are still hoping to build them and service the existing
fleet.
