Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Rotax "5 year replace all rubber

Excellent point Avid. I have been told I still have to go to the school and that it really hurts the value if I need to sell it later on, big time.

Gary, you are a private owner. Why don't you change your aircraft to an E-LSA.
A S-LSA makes very little sense for an individual owner or a non-school use aircraft. I am surprised at how many owners opt for S-LSA when they really need to be looking at an E-LSA almost finished kit.

I honestly thought there would be more here, especially since we had over 15 UL's at just our airport alone. I am the only one that stuck it out. The rest all got out of flying altogether. I pushed a lot of people towards sport and gave a bunch of demos, but I guess Bakersfield is a poor man's perodise except for deceased Buck Owens, he had all the money here. Hehe. But I am still trying all I can till I get to old or broke too keep it up anymore.
