Sure, it will be made in the US... For now. How long till they do like they have historically done and move everything over there and "refine" the design. |

Cheap crap is cheap crap wherever it is made, it is not something that the Chinese have a monopoly on. Having had a number of PCBs made in China, I can say the quality and reliability of those were top notch. |

It's a company that deliberately markets its aircraft in a misleading way to naive, low-time, wealthy pilots. |

The statistics indicate that the pilots that have accidents in Cirrus aircraft are generally not low time pilots, so any allegations about the marketing are irrelevant. |
