My guess is that money is tight. And the market has a big effect on it. The Avid is a great aircraft but a kit producer cannot survive on selling 5 or 6 kits a year. And currently the supply of ones for sale at a good price is hurting it, too.  One cannot make it on parts alone. Engines are a big factor also, as they are expensive and account for 25-40% of a flying aircraft. Raw materials cost are increasing to the point of raising the price of a kit where its not a good value. People who buy Carbon Cubs, Super STOL's and the like aren't to concerned with money. There is not much out there for the common working man with a family in the way of new kits. I paid the same amount for my model 2 that I originally paid for the model 4 kit I bought in 1989. One reason why the Avid/Foxes on the market are drying up and getting harder to find.
