I loved the comment: "How awsome". What's so awsome about a "cookie cutter" airplane, that costs a gazillion dollars!! Hey, you pilots and "pilot-wann-a-bees" - BUILD ONE; you know, wood and fabric or maybe assemble a nice RANS S-9 fully aerobatic plane (with engine about 15K). This one costs what, 90,000 dollars? Bet I don't miss it by to much of a margin. All of "these" planes look, and basically are the same. Be more original!!!!
It took most of the day trying to get permission from our local FAA contact, they were very confused about catagory of aircraft (LSA). They finally gave permission with the understanding that the pilot was fully responsible for the safety of the operation. They also asked that we be very cautios of low flight over the neighboring homes.

LSA are the future - we just need inexpensive airplanes!

Very nice.
Did they give you a hard time when asking for permission to do that or were they pretty easy to work with?
