Nice video, too bad this LSA like most of the new LSAs being built are pieces of crap including the Sting which has TONS of maintenance issues. Being built to concensus standards isn't a good thing when weight savings also cost structural integerty. Get a real airplane like a LUSCOMBE!! Its got a tailwheel too! A mans airplane. No pansy plastic airframe for me, especially with tires from a wheelbarrow!
It's a quirky airplane. The rudder isn't spring loaded and the mags have toggle switches rather than a key. The Aussie version of this does about 150 knots (RG/CS.) LSA version will do exactly 120 with the throttle in - they obviously slowed it down just enough to meet the regs. Throttle and trim are quadrant style. There is no mixture and carb heat is on full time (no performance hit on Rotax.) There's no stall horn!
I was watching a few of these videos and was thinking the same thing.... good to see I am not the only one. I see this type of flying as something graceful...... not Red Bull Air Races.
How much does one of these cost?

If you guys really want to see the "quality" of the build, pull the nav light/ strobe on a wing tip and take a look inside.

Hey Skoot, did you see my tool box in the vid? Fortunately I wasn't in the little movie.

I agree,why the music? I want to hear the engine as the plane is manuevering.

I can't wait until I'm too old to hold a medical so I can buy one of these!

The number of aviation-related videos on Youtube that are ruined by lousy music is stunning. This is one of them.
