Who says an LSA has to be VFR-only? Mine's not.


In the video the guy made it very clear that they are targeting people
with the sport pilot license. In fact, he went so far as to say that
it is the very existence of the Sport Pilot rule that makes his
company possible.

That being said, I do not see what is so exciting about this plane
that I would shell out 150K for it (not that I have that kind of money
anyway). There doesn't seem to be anything particularly "game
changing" about it. I do like the amphibious capability though; being
able to take off on land and land on water (and visa versa) would be
pretty handy.
