ICON A5 ESN-1, 2 and 3 Done

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).

I got suckered in by the slick marketing, but cancelled my order with a full refund at the first big price hike.

So I got a nice hat, key ring, thermos, and a fancy plastic case for free!

Good point. No, they didn't.

Well, if we're doing obscure...

"There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties."
