Light Sport Aircraft on AOPA Website
Filed in archive Aircraft by on June 30, 2005

If you haven't already, check out this page on the AOPA website. It contains a list of brand new light sport aircraft the staff tested and flew recently.
The page lists several models including photos, descriptions and specifications. The price for these babies range anywhere from $60K to over $100K. (Light sport doesn't necessarily mean "light" in the pocket.)
I've always wanted to do some seat of the pants flying. That's one reason ultralights always intrigued me, though less so now after hearing of the death of John Walton, heir
to the Wal-Mart throne, as a result of an ultralight crash. Jumping in the cockpit of a Piper Cub or Aeronca K might do just as well.While I'm sure these aircraft are too sophisticated to be considered "seat of the pants" - one model, the P92 Echo Super has a full IFR package - I bet they're still a lot of fun to fly!
