Thanks anyway Dave. It looks like OSH is the best I can hope for, tho it seems debatable there'll be a demo model there either.

I'm completely new to the LSA market and researching everything that I can online -- it almost feels like I'm starting out learning to fly all over again. I know what you mean, Chris. I just recently downsized to LSA myself. 48 years of flying, 30 years of instructing, and I too feel like a beginne...

I'm one of them.

We're going to have to live on on 1 million!!? And still fly!!? Is that possible!!?

I own a CTSW and I can only say good things about both the aircraft and the company. Flight Design and Flight Design USA in particular, are very responsive and knowledgeable. The few repair and modification parts I've needed have always been in stock in the US and available overnight. Of all the Li...

In short, what you want to look for is a company that is committed to forwarding their products (updated designs, new models, etc), invests in sustained growth, supports their existing customers and has a focus on client service. These traits are what keeps a company in business. There a few LSA co...

REMOS Aircraft succeeded in strengthening its leadership in the LSA segment despite the challenges presented by slow demand in the aviation industry, particularly in the U.S. market. I've seen references to Remos doing a better marketing job than Flight Design, leading some to believe that there ar...

Chris, The first two planes will be in little rock mar 20 till april 1 at least. Then delivered to MN and FL. I believe Bill has more sold for april delivery but I dont know where to. Im sure you could get a demo at Little Rock before we take delivery otherwise it will likely be sun and fun or osh ...

The oldies don't operate that way, something I'm comfortable with, they are not. But that's how I like to skin the cat, it's more organized, more of a routine that I don't care to be broken out of at this moment. yozz :oops: I guess I qualify as an oldie as well, having done my CFI in 1972. I don't...

Thanks Jake. Any ideas on what it would take to get a demo on the left coast? Do I have to wait for Oshkosh (can't make Sun n' Fun this time)?

Chris

How many people believe some of the light sports are pricing themselves out of the market.Remos seems to be headed that way the glossy ads in all major pubs cant help.Time to stop blaming the euro is light sport going the vway of GA with their pricing schedules. I have to confess that some of the p...

what are your thoughts as to pros and cons of the Siriua when compared, say, to the CT's?

Chris

No that wasn't meant to show you my stunningly vast knowledge of what the plural of Sirius would be in Latin -- just another example of my poor typing skills I'm afraid!

Chris

Chrisw or anyone, Any questions ask away. I know a fair amount about the plane. Jake I can't ask for better than that! Thanks for all the follow-up, guys. Meanwhile, Jake (or anyone else), to begin at a very preliminary level here, what are your thoughts as to pros and cons of the Siriua when compa...
