Where can else you buy a brand new certified plane for under $60,000
that burns less than 5 gal an hour of fuel that costs at about $1 a
gallon less than av gass, burns about the same amount of oil as your
car (like almost none) and has a 100 hour warrenty?????, oh, and you
can lease it out or train students in it as well, or spend a bit more
on it for proper equipment to fly night or IFR, ... did I mention it's
as fast or faster than a basic 172????


What is it?

Many sLSAs meet this definition in there basic configuration.

We have 30 modals of them that have been delivered to customers, with
quite a few more on the way...

Start at: http://www.sportpilot.org/learn/slsa/

The EuroFox appears to be the price leader at the moment (I welcome
someone else to add additional research) at 39,950.00 Euros (about
$49,000 USD). Rans 7seris isnt far off and I'm pretty sure the
Festival is the lowest non-rag & tube offering with the Allegro not far
behind...

Yeah, if you want or need a transponder or GPS or artificial horizon or
auto pilot it will add up to more, but the opportunity is there, and
every month more come out of the woodwork!
