"... Cessna needs to deliver up to 700 SkyCatchers each year."

Interesting number - appears to be comparable to the number of RV-7 kits
that Van's Aircraft claims to ship per year (Van's magazine ads say "Two
RV-7 kits leave Van's aircraft every day to builders all over the world.")

Of course the specs for the RV-7 outclass the SkyCatcher by a wide margin.

And you need to add in RV-4, RV-8, RV-9, RV-10 and maybe even -12
kits.

Only the 12 may be comparable to the Skycatcher.

How any company with a product they want to keep their product can look
past that, I don't understand.

It is the only thing you can count on coming out of China. Clones.

Cessna would have done much better getting it built in Mexico, or about
anywhere else. Nobody has the lack of moral and legal convictions against
copying intellectual material that China has. Nobody even comes close.

Have you ever seen how many new "Genuine Harley" parts are made in
China?

They don't have to clone it, they build much of the real thing! G

I don't understand why everyone is getting their panties all in a
twist over this. Is there any facts that prove that the Chinese
company that Cessna has chosen, has had problems manufacturing planes
in the past? It says in the article that this company has been
manufacturing planes for other IAI, Boeing, and other plane makers. Do
those planes fly safely? It seems for such emotional opinions to
exist, there surely must be equally power facts to back them up?
