"ET" wrote in message ... "BTIZ" wrote in news:bYpDd.13833$232.10134@fed1read05: THIS is why I see the new SLSA aircraft sales taking off in a HUGE way in the next few years. Why would an aging baby boomer, developing a typical "diabetic gut" buy a 200K-300K aircraft and sweat every medical, when he can buy a 60K-90K aircraft that still goes 75% as fast (and only burns 5-7 gal/hr) and relax.... To be fair, 250k will buy you a very nice Bonanza that will do things no sportplane could dream of. What LSA will have a huge impact on are the values of lower-end spamcans like my 172N. Why spend $50k on a plane as old as you are when for 50% more you can buy new? -cwk.
