Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Skyboy info?



I flew a SkyBoy back in 2005....

The pro's:  it looks fantastic!

The con's:  underpowered with a 582; no extra room at all, and I would have much preferred seats that would adjust.... I wasn't comfortable.  The center stick had a short throw and so felt a bit odd, but that might be the kind of thing you'd get used to.

Preference:  some people like to be enclosed, others like open air flying.  I fall into the latter category, so I felt cramped and claustrophobic in it, but you may fall into the former camp.
