Construction of the BA-14 Starling recreational trainer (SE-KFV, first flight 25August 1988), designed by Bjorn Andreasson, began 1987. It became a joint venture project between MFI and FFV Aerotech, but later redesigned by MFI to FAR Pt 23A. Development delayed by other work, but resumption of flight testing apparently still awaited.
