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

When someone speaks of buy an SLSA I assume they know they are not to touch it and someone else will have to do the work on it. A few things are allowed on some aircraft by the manufacture, who regulates these things, not the FAA directly, and the Rotax engine is in a league of its own no matter who installed it.

 

Not true in case of your Sonex, you can, or any A&P can do what ever you want to do with it, and still be legal. Such is especially not possible with the airframe or the Rotax engine of any SLSA.

 

Hey if I am wrong on this, please let me know. Heck, I know you will.

 

Something to consider before you lay out the cash for one. For about 70% out there this won't be a problem I would guess.

I really like the look of the SportCruiser. If it was in the budget
and flew as well as reported, it would probably be in the hangar. I
looked at one extensively at the Lumberton, NC air-show one year. They
offered a ride but I declined as I knew I couldn't afford it and didn't
want to tie the guys up on a non-sale.

For now I'll continue to fly my Sonex. It is a blast to fly and has a
lot of good things going for it but it certainly doesn't have that
cockpit room of the SportCruiser.
