Take Home an LSA, for Under $50K

By Mary Grady, News Writer, Editor


While the Light Sport Aircraft getting the most attention tend be those like Flight Design CT and Cessna, which are selling well in the $100,000 range, more models are coming online at lower costs. The latest is the Sport Hornet, a tandem fixed-wing airplane with full three-axis control, for sale as a Special-LSA at $49,995, reports LSA expert Dan Johnson. "With a 100 hp, four-cylinder Rotax, that's really quite a good deal," Johnson told AVweb on Wednesday. Other lower-cost models include the EuroFox, available with tricycle gear or as a taildragger for $59,950, and the Sky Arrow, an all-composite tandem pusher that goes for $66,000.

Johnson also noted that there are plenty of LSAs ready to fly at even lower costs, at prices $20,000 and under, if pilots want to try a trike or a powered parachute. The trikes have been very popular, he said. "Lots of fixed-wing pilots, once they give them a try, find out they're really fun to fly," he said.

Another choice is the Aerolab LoCamp. Currently offered as assembly kits for under $50,000 the S-LSA is hoped to be out somewhere in the mid-$70’s.

As the owner of the Plane that Dan Johnson flew in Oshkosh and was on the cover of the Oct EAA Sport Pilot Magazine, I can honestly tell you this plane is so much fun to fly. I jumped back in a 172 a month ago and couldn't wait to get back in my plane. It is great to fly from the response, pilots view, stability, performance and open feeling is great. It is a toss up which is more fun, with doors flying 95+ knots or no doors around 60 -70 knots taking in the view. Don't just think of this as ultralight, it is a LSA with a price tag for all.
