Ok, so where it that light-sport, low-wing, cross

$20k ready-to-fly ultralight or light-sport low-wing:http://www.interplaneaircraft.com/zjviera.htm

These type of planes don't seem suitable for
going cross-country to me, and although it's
possible to do so in one you could probably
get there just as fast in your truck.

Yeah, right.

So far this guy has gone 20,000 nm in a LSA.

Yeah and the article doesn't tell how long it took him
to do it either, does it? No thanks.

Most all of the LSA's have roughly the same cruise speed.

Still, they look like a load of fun, but I was looking'
to circumvent commercial flying.

Then you need something like a Citation, which is a bit more than your $20k
budget.

I've not revealed my budget nor my plans, but if you
want to know, I will probably buy a used Piper Sport
or Arion Lightning within 24 months, have to pay at
least 80K, and gripe about it.

As the PiperSport is new this year, good luck on finding used ones two
years from now.
