I wish them all the luck.
A good company making good planes mostly by hand in my backyard in Washington State.
Amazing what even a basic airplane costs nowadays though.

I hope it stays in 'Merica.
When I was shopping for a plane a couple of years ago I really wanted a carbon cub. They’re priced very high in comparison to other light sport planes and so I went with another choice. They are amazing planes, but at the same time, I don’t know how an infusion of money is going to help with supply chain issues. You could have all the money in the world and nothing’s going to change that. We certainly did not have supply chain issues 2 years ago did we?
Two things have helped me build my small manufacturing business: keep it 100% private to avoid the influence from other owners with little skin in the game, and use only US-made materials and components. My criteria for suppliers and fabrication partners - I should be able to reach them by car within one hour. As a Christian-owned company we will generally seek out other Christians as our suppliers. Works great. We have zero supply chain issues. Decisions are influenced solely by customer input and our own innovation. Growth might be slower than otherwise possible, but we prefer growing something solid like an oak tree as opposed to a fast-growing pine that gets knocked over by the first gust of wind. Some aircraft components are of course nearly impossible to source in the US.

Well done Kent.
Excellent work Kent!!!
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess Kent isn’t making consumer electronics.
I wish CC the best and love their products. This would definitely be one of my lottery planes, along with a Kodiak. That being said, putting one’s money in a pile and burning it is a marginally more efficient way to lose money than investing in aviation.
