... let's compare the Cessna to the # 1 selling LSA ... useful load 628#... range 1,000 miles...baggage 110 # ...34 gallon tanks...cruise speed at 75% power 112+ knots. So, yes, LSA are made for fun and yes, LSA are made to go long distances, fast with two adults, baggage, and fuel. Do your research before you buy one.
I suspect two bags of golf clubs and a change of socks won't fit.
490 - 400 = 90 pounds for gas and baggage.
90 is 15 gallons, or 3 hours (2 with 1 hour reserve). Not exactly a cross country touring machine. From a flight school perspective, I will be spending a good portion of each day at the gas pumps. How many did they sell?
Nice looking airplane. What is the useful load? How many gallons of gas does it hold? What is the range of the airplane? What is the baggage capacity? How many gallons of fuel does it hold with two American Sized pilots? It's not called Light Sport Aircraft just for fun...

I hate ot break to ya... but it's a LIGHT sport aircraft. It's not designed to go very fast or carry a lot of stuff. It's just for fun!
