There are now dozens of new manufacturers popping up with LSA's that resemble conventional aircraft that are suitable for interstate travel and inclement weather. Many of them exceed 100 mph. Very few will ever see the needle hit 138 though, with the Arion Lightning, Sonex, and Piper Sport being the exception on a good day. --- Mark |

Call em what you want. In the preowned market there's more of those flying toys listed than the new upstarts, and that leads me to conclude there must be more of those in the air. Therefore, they are a typical or at least equal representation of the LSA market. A = B B = C Therefore...A = C Or if you want numbers (of course you do ), go on barnstormers, the largest source of preowned plane sales, go to the lightsport category, and count them one by one, and sort category. Report back and don't flip-flop on what the original debate was. Or ask Dan Johnson how many lightsport planes can hit the 138 mark. Maybe 5%. --- Mark -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

You go to barnstormers.com if you are looking for something out of the main stream. -- Jim Pennino Think about it for a minute. There are no boundries as to who may place ads there. They come from all across the world by a huge segment of the aviation community. The result is: A microcosm of the world at large and the airplanes they fly and sell. So that is the polar opposite of being "out of the main stream", isn't it? --- Mark |
