Which airplane for LSA club?

Hey folks,

I'm starting a flying club with a Light-Sport Aircraft and I can't
decide what type of plane to buy. (I'm going to buy and then sell the
shares. Doing it the other way around seems to lead to nothing but
talk and procrastination.)

I, personally, have become infatuated with light amphibians like the
Buccaneer II and Avid Catalina. However, I suspect there would be a
broader market for a factory plane like an Aeronca Champ/Chief or
Luscombe 8A.

What's your opinion? Would you buy into an experimental amphibian?

Thanks,
Mike



StingSport ($110K loaded) for the high end, Allegro ($63K basic) for the
most affordable, maybe go for both as you club grows. Now that Cessna
has announced an LSA that may soften the insurance market a bit.

The Rotax 912 runs just fine on 100LL, it just needs it's oil changed
more often.

I would hardly say, "Cessna has announced an LSA..." The press release says,

"Wichita, Kan., June 6, 2006 - Cessna Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of
Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT), announced today it is studying the feasibility of
developing and producing a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). "

Does anyone think they can get one to the market for $100K?

It also says they're going to have a proof of concept vehicle at Oshkosh.
I'd take seeing that over a HondaJet any day.

Why not the best of both, a Honda LSA. Get the price right and they could
sell a combo of the S2000 and the LSA. Having owned an S2000 I can tell you
that it would be a match made in heaven. If you can get it in the S2000 it
will fit in the airplane.
