The link describes total sales per aircraft type across the SLSA fleet, all years since inception. It might be useful to read it before commenting, or my posts that quote the link, or both

Flight Design continues to rank first, with a total of 372 aircraft sold, or 13.4 percent of the fleet
372 total Flight Design CT aircraft delivered in the US by the end of 2014 is consistent with your estimate of 400+ today. Industry data quoting that number says Flight Design aircraft flying in the US represent something like 10 or 15% of the US SLSA fleet, they do not represent a majority of the US SLSA fleet.
So does Flight Design Germany claim that it is FD USA which has not paid them? Or who?
Looks like another case where a rather successful aviation assett has managed to go bust due to inept management?
Flight Design seem to be up again.
Presumably somebody bought them from the administrator.
The F2 will qualify in Europe under CS-23 regulations or the expanded 600-kilogram ultralight rules. The company plans to deliver the first U.S. F2 to a customer at EAA AirVenture.
It’s available with either a 100-horsepower Rotax 912 iS engine or, for the European market, a 141-hp turbocharged Rotax 915 iS engine.
How can it be certified with the iS engine when this engine has no engine driven pump? Is CS-23 changed?
