Jim,

Very well said on all counts.

How do you like the Sporstar? I had a chance to sit in one at the AOPA Expo
and I have to say that I was very impressed.

The Sportstar is the closest to the CT-SW that is
available for training where I live. I don't have
much experience to judge it by, but so far I find
it a delight to fly. It's really responsive and
at the same time it has a solid dependablity to
it. I did my first two takeoffs today and it leaped
into the sky at an almost fearful rate.

Well built, well equipped and suprisingly comfortable.

My instructor has mentioned a couple of times
that he would like to get his own CT-SW when
the Sportstar lease expires. So today I asked
him why. He said that the CT-SW is the best
of the LSA planes. It has quite a bit more
room than the Sportstar, goes faster, and the
high wing is not so hot as under the canopy in
the summer. Which is no small consideration
where we live.

Where are you flying?

At what was once McClelland AFB in Sacramento.
