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

Very good question Abid. But doesn't Rotax still require their approval for the kind of prop mounted and the installation, or forget the warrantee? For older used engines or if you don't care about it I guess you could do whatever you want. That is a good point you make about the ELSA/SLSA value. Being in the busyness what would your opinion be on this one?

 

Are you going to offer ELSA on the Fox? You could take it apart and have the new owner help put it back together again and go ELSA with it. Of course then you would be having to make each one the same and offer the kit for sale.

 

I don't know. I am still lost on a lot of this stuff, now. There was the proposal, and then the result keeps coming. Wow!

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.
