Not everything built in China is bad! Example i fly R/C airplanes and there is a brand of motor "Evolution" that i use and those are the best i have ever used and longest lasting motor! I have used a few China made products that are the same so just because your $20 shoes from Walmart such that were made in china doesn't mean everything else does!!
I would buy it because it's solid, safe and uses a reliable bomb-proof aircraft engine. Currently I fly an LSA based certified European made LSA with a Rotax engine. The club has already had 3 major engine failures, and last week, 90 sec after take-off, the Rotax lost power for 15 very long seconds over a densely built up area with zero options for landing.
What I would love to see is a 162 equiped with a light and economical 100hp turbine engine. Maybe China could help us with that.
Why buy such a expansive certified Chinese built airplane: a good european ultralight or LSA as the same performance and playload (or better!) and run a more economic, lighter and more performing (at take off and climb) Rotax 912S ...
My flying club is getting a 162. Should be coming next week. I couldn't believe it when I found out it had SVT. The G300 looks very capable. Seems like a really nice plane. Can't wait to fly it.
costs a fortune, better off with a 20 year old 172

I don't know, it just looks unfinished to me when compared to a Gobosh 700, Sport Cruiser, or Arion Lightning. I'm not impressed

this plane is very nice, but is very noisy

Other than that it's ok as a plane for one person!

Yeah it has it all but there is one problem and that is it horrid payload capacity!
Two normal sized males are ok that's if you don't need to carry any of that pesky thing called fuel!!
