My home field has several fat ultralights which will become LSA's if the FAA
ever gets serious about enforcement. Also we have the usual assortment of
Cubs, Champs, etc. More to your point, there was a Tecnam (sp?) in the
pattern this afternoon.

So, yes, there are some LSA's out there, but most of 'em are Older GA types
or illegal ultralights.

Listening to the EAA and the other aviation mags, it sounds like the new
LSA's are selling well, but I can't help but think this is pent up demand
for something new. I can't see that there will be a large market over the
long term for ~$70k airplanes that only go 100 knots when there are plenty
of used airplanes for under $25k that fit the bill.
