Has anyone heard of this plane? Produced / distributed by American Ghiles Aircraft (AGA) until 2004.
To my eye it looks very similar to a FlySynthesis Texan (which I have flown in and quite liked.) FlySynthesis currently produces the "Wallaby 582" high-wing pod/boom aircraft but I think this is coincidence. American Ghiles Aircraft appear to have been U.S. distributors for MCR and other European light aircraft.
What is interesting about the Lafayette Wallaby is that it was powered by the Rotax 503 46hp. I would love to find a two-seater than can fly on such low power.
(BTW I found the aircraft using the Kitplanes Magazine "Aircraft Buyer's Guide", which is also where the photo came from. Can't find a bigger version and using Google image search turned up nothing useful.)
