Where did you get the idea that LSA were obliged to be "simple" and "cheap"?

You can't make up the rules as you go along Abid,
we have enough rules from the FAA,
let's just stick with those FAA rules.
(eg; max gross is 1320 etc..)


Given that so many of these LSA Airplanes cost over $100k, it seems essential
to me they should also be good for training more than just Sport Pilots,
but also Private Pilots, and if possible, which it should be,
IFR for these pilots when they need/want it.
How much more would it cost to upgrade an aircraft from "night-ready"
to IFR-ready?
I can't imagine it would be cost-prohibitive,
given the fat pile of cash already invested.


Cheers,
Mike
