RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group LSA for rent without renters, or renters without LSAs available? (WAS: "Re: Cessna Update")

Fellows,

Some of you may remember, back in '04, when I stated that

1) sport pilot/LSA was all about big brother controlling flying
2) the cost would be prohibitive
3) very few (relatively speaking compared to UL pilots) would transition to SP.

I received a lot of flack over the above statements.
Now, it seems, I vindicated. I.E. I was right.
