Bill,
Here's an article that explains the trade winds.

>I notice that all the photos have carefully placed people in front of the
tail number. --Bill Watson bill@sportpilot.info

I don't think that's a conspiracy or careful placement or anything. Just
coincidence. It's a South African registery. I've tried to attach a photo
but not sure if it will work. It shows the registration number. Those are
my sons with Mike and Jim.

>Can some please explain to me, how a a plane that has an empty weight of
>799
lbs, carries two people, and has been modified to carry over "118 gallons of
fuel", can possibly be called an LSA?

I don't think the production model will be configured the same as the one
designed to get across a couple of oceans. This is basically an attempt at
getting some publicity for their new aircraft I would think. They are
demonstrating the reliability of the engine, the capabilities, etc.

>Ok ok, its probably not really registered as an LSA, so I'm not sure they
should be referring to it as one.
