Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group LSAs with the Best Safety Record, and the Lowest Insurance Cost?

The LSA industry is so new that you are probably going to find that
insurance rates are based more on hull value that safety records. You
will of course pay a premium for anything tailwheel, seaplane, or
experimental as with any plane.

I can't speak for other brands but Tecnam has only ever had one fatal
accident in the USA, that was caused by a mechanic leaving a flashlight
in the tailcone that got snagged in the control linkages. Tecnams are
built with a steel roll cage that makes nearly any accident survivable.
Also, their P92 series is about the closest thing to spin proof that you
can get without being an Ercoupe.
