Lots of homebuilts will fit in the experimental LSA
category. But even at $70-100K, the new factory built LSA
will sell because they will do the job commercially at less
cost than a new Cessna or Piper.

| My home field has several fat ultralights which will
become LSA's if the FAA

usual assortment of
| Cubs, Champs, etc. More to your point, there was a Tecnam
(sp?) in the
| pattern this afternoon.
|
| So, yes, there are some LSA's out there, but most of 'em
are Older GA types
| or illegal ultralights.
|
| Listening to the EAA and the other aviation mags, it
sounds like the new
| LSA's are selling well, but I can't help but think this is
pent up demand
| for something new. I can't see that there will be a large
market over the
| long term for ~$70k airplanes that only go 100 knots when
there are plenty
| of used airplanes for under $25k that fit the bill.
