Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Inexpensive (relatively speaking) LSA Aircraft Options

You can build a Sonex for less than 27K if you use the Aerovee or even
a Corvair conversion. The Sonex goes like stink on 80 HP and is still
Light Sport compliant with the Jab 3300 on it.

In another life I did training as an AFI with USUA and used the
Challenger for a trainer. They are great fun to fly although a bit
squirrelly with the doors on. The Challenger is not a fast airplane so
they're not so great for cross-country flying, although many have been
flown for long distances.
