Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Top 3 LSA Aircraft for Sport Pilot Training

Original Tecnam Echo Super (with hand brake) is my top pick for a basic
trainer. Robust, stable, steel roll cage, won't spin, barely stalls,
great useful load, no composite to repair, can be repaired with local
car parts, sips gas, can burn E10. Available VFR or IFR. Haven't yet
had a student figure out how to do anything worse to ours than smash the
position lights into the fuel truck. 2000+ hours and still going strong.

SeaRey for an amphib.
