The Sting Sport is the best GA airplane around. Handles like a dream, 2 seats, no carb heat, no tank transfers, 30 gallons, 110 ground speed, 4.5 gallons per hour, 100LL or 92 mogas, 1 notch and trim take off, 1 notch and trim land. Smile on my 70 year old face, 110 hrs per year recreation, 2 day for annual, parachute, 17 gust. If it is too windy to ride, don't go. Delta takes care of that.

Have put several hours in a Flight Design CTLS and love that little plane.. But as another person pointed out, if I were to look at purchase price, it would not be something I would look at because it is quite expensive vs a used aircraft that can serve better during more adverse conditions.. I believe the crosswind component for the CTLS is 22 knots, but I may be off a little..

The vast majority of private pilots I know fly alone or with only one pax 99 percent of the time, never above 10K ft, and never at night or in inclement weather. Many of them fret their medical exams as being the end of their dreams, and if you do fail, you can't fly ANYTHING that doesn't have a chainsaw engine until you clear it from your records. I have MS, but I have NO disability (I climbed Mt Ranier last year) but the FAA may SCREW me, so I transitioned to LSA and have no regrets.

Have you noticed that they all looked the same. There was not one new idea in the lot... None are useful on a daily basis. None are safe all weather. None can be driven down the road and parked in a garage. None can takeoff and land in 50 ft. None can safely land on snow, water, or really rough fields.

Not much to look at...

@emforty2 .....yeah I know it sucks. I guess that is what happens when you have an overpopulated country eager to work for pennies on the dollar........you get your job taken from you. Free trade isn't necessarily fair trade.

@emforty2 I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect there might be legal advantages to companies like Cessna and Piper in the area of product liability if the aircraft is manufactured abroad by an unrelated factory. The risk in selling these things is the fact that they are intended for pilots who would not be likely to pass a medical exam.
