Purchasing choices

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

He is, in fact, an active member of SportPilotTalk! Perhaps he'll chime in here and introduce himself. Yes, his are great videos.
The opinions posted are those of one CFI, and do not necessarily represent the FAA or its lawyers.

No real issues with heat/bubble canopy - it does get a bit hot when taxing , as you guys mentioned, but once you are up , it is plenty cool.

Keep in mind that I am a student pilot with only 35 hours so I think it is a good deal.
It started out with almost $4000 per year heheh
This year, after getting my license and going up to 105 hours, my insurance, same terms and everything, is down to $1700...
