I liked it a lot better than that other LSA thing over there, that fiberglass one that looks like a pollywog! (can't recall the name of it).

I flew both the high wing and low wing Technams (92T and Siera?) about 4 years ago out of SEF, over to Sun N Fun. I prefer the high wing for croswind landings, and shade in the hot sun, and for looking down at the countryside, but the buble canopy of the Siera is nice too, hot, but great visability above, not so much below. Having grown up in a Cub, I guess I'm partial to the high wings.

The Rotax is reliable, quiet, and the ability to burn auto fuel is good, avgas is getting nutz. The older I get, the more I want to fly ultralights, on floats, so I must be getting senile! The prices of some of those new LSA's is way out of my range, over $100,000.

I may just re-build the Cub, put it on floats, although I've always wanted a Pitts S1...but I think I'm getting too old for that stuff.
