Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: SportCruiser flight this weekend

I honestly don't know why people who fly privately would want a S-LSA. That's why there is E-LSA. Put the prop on, set the pitch and ground test for proper RPM and call the FSDO inspector for airworthiness. Viola, you got an E-LSA. Do what you would like.

I think the idea is that S-LSA's will hold their re-sale values. Well have they? compared to E-LSA? I really don't know.
