Somebody up-thread made the comment that the 400 number was probably more
than all the LSA sales combined. The August Aviation Consumer has an article
on the LSA market and quote 1000 have been sold and delivered. "as of this

talking about the real airplane part of the LSA rules not weight-shift,
powered parachute...

On my last pass by the Cessna tent, the number of $5000 deposits on the
toteboard was 550. Did anyone catch the number at show closing?
