Re: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: perfect for my situation

There's an awful lot of exaggeration and good number of straight out lies in this industry; we all know that.   You should have seen the look on one salesman's face when I asked him about the useful load of his Paradise and when he turned around to grab me a glossy brochure he found my rear end hanging out the door of his plane pulling the actual weight and balance of his plane out of the back that showed the plane 100lbs heavier than his brochure!  We all know about this but instead of trying to hang people out to dry over this sort of thing, how about we turn this thread around to something positive.  How about we name and discuss reputable companies that we know do a good job of accurately representing their plane, warts and all?

Back to the original Avweb news story; if one is going tomake an offer where the product supply is limited, then that should have beenstated; that's my view.  The story alsoleads one to believe a fuel burn of under 2.5 gph.  I do not believe that the general flying publicwill experience a fuel burn of less than 2.5 gph while using the airplane; that'smy view.  To get blown all out of shapebecause someone points these things out, questioning statement made and is thencalled "stupid" is unfortunate and interesting insight to a company's behaviorin response to inquires.

Rather than poo poo the fuel burn, take your time to check the NASA CAFE results and see for yourself in one of the most controlled competitions in the world. CAFE and NASA work out the results not the manufacturer. You really have to learn what your talking about cause it makes you look stupid!
