7 years ago, Bill McClung, Sunâ??n Fun director and president of interplane USA came with idea to create wide offer of the best Czech light airplanes for USA market â?? started from Pt103 ultralight Griffon , with Skyboy as ultralight trainer and Eurostar and Sova as a kits, until new US regulation for LSA will be accepted. That time we brought with Skyboy and Griffon first Eurostars (just now for USA Evektor SportStar ) and first Sovas (just now for USA KP-5 Kappa ) to USA market.

If owner of that company Ralph Mandarino would not listen to his â??experienced advisorsâ??, just now (according to actual information about SLSA sales) his company could be one from leaders of SLSA market â?? with 14% share = 156 airplanes sold â?Ś

Good idea Bill - I am sorry we could not continue together â?Ś
