Maybe Piper could modify a Cherokee with a tail wheel and a canopy for the domestic market for a “loss leader” price!

Oh yea, don’t forget about the 25% import tariff!

I wouldn’t drive a French car. I certainly don’t want to be in a French aircraft.

I saw a taildragger Cherokee down at the Thomasville, G. fly-in a few years ago. Odd look.

It totally does not look like an RV-6/RV-7 knock off. Obviously a completely new design.

The US was the first in powered flight but for all practical purposes, the airplane as we know it, was invented by the French.

France has been dedicated to political self destruction for some time now, but their aeronautical, and automotive engineering has been brilliant.
