Yeah, and you thought mine was pretty nice, too. :-)
As you say, the market will say where the LSA world goes. Yes, there are
indeed high-end cross-country cruisers. Legend Cub is selling lots of Sport
Cubs, too. People want both. Why shouldn't they be able to get it?
Abid, the LSA world is more than just legal fat ultralights. If it wasn't,
then why did the FAA set the gross weight limit at 600 kilograms? How many
WSC or PPC aircraft come close to those weights? Why shouldn't a private
pilot with an instrument ticket and a medical be able to fly an LSA IFR?
What, exactly, is wrong with that concept? It only goes against "the spirit
pf LSA" if that spirit is limited to fat ultralights.
