Default Opinions on these airplanes.

If anybody has some experience with these airplanes, I am interested to hear what you thought about them. Performance, reliability, build quality etc. If you know of any with some decent hours racked up on them especially I am interested.

Thanks

Took my chances on a big jet plane, Never let them tell you that they're all the same.

My flight school has been trying out a bunch of light sport aircrafts and none of them impress me at all. They are all very small and there lightness is a problem on windy days. You have to fly most of these aircraft right to the chains, Ive watched a few of our instructors really struggle with them in crosswinds.

I've flown several LSA's (Titans & Jabiru's, some when they were considered ultralight's.) I've yet to really find one I'm comfortable in. Too light and tinkerish for my tastes...I've built two RV-4's and one RV-6 in the past few years. They've cost less to build than a new Jabiru and sold for more.....just my .02
