According to the EAA list, there are currently 23 Special Light Sport
Aircraft currently available. http://www.sportpilot.org/slsa/

It appears that the Zodiac CH601XL is manufactured or distributed by at
least 3 companies.

AMD seems to hold the Airworthiness Certificate
http://www.newplane.com/amd/amd/601_SLSA/601.html

So who's airplane is this really? What is the relationship between
these companies. They each have differant Options, prices, and
performance.
Are these really 3 separate LSA's?

I may get this wrong but here goes..


The AMD plane is the S-LSA

The Czech plane is an E-LSA

The Specs on the zenithair.com site are the same ones that have been there
since 2001 when I started building so really apply to the Experimental- Home
built.
