Correct.
> There don't seem to be too many new planes coming out in the 2-4 seat GA class.
We'll see. China bought about 20 US small mfgs. recently, including Cirrus, Mooney, Superior, etc., so it's up to them what US aviation holds. Yup, we sold our future on the altar of ROI.

172R (1996) was first model with fuel injection. But be careful what you wish for ... 172 2020 price is $398,000.00.
