This should have a pretty significant impact on the cost of people
getting a license. If a brand new 172 goes for $110 to $130/hr then
one of the Cessna LSAs should be able to be rented for maybe $70/hr
with the lower fuel burn, cheaper plane, and lower insurance (2 seats
vs. 4).

You hit it right on the head. That is how much we will rent it for at
PAVCO. We will get at least one, maybe two. They will be a great
replacement for our 152s, which are getting a little long in the tooth.

Most of the guys renting LSA aircraft so far have them set at ~$100.00 and
some more. The ones I've looked at are all small operation though and they
might not have the volume to support them at lower rates.

I pay $80.00 for a Zodiac at Lantana, FL. That same operation gets $75.00
for a 152 that I also fly often. Although I would love to see it, I don't see
how they will be able to rent a $100,000+ Cessna LSA for less than they now
charge for a $40,000 (generous estimate) 152.

C,

You know what the Cessna LSA will cost? Otherwise, how would you arrive
at a rental price?
