07/12/05 - LOOKING FOR A LIGHT-SPORT AIRCRAFT? CHECK OUT THE LSA MALL AT EAA AIRVENTURE
The largest collection of light-sport aircraft (LSA) ever assembled at Oshkosh will be on display in one area this year, located just south of AeroShell Square. The EAA AirVenture Oshkosh LSA Mall will include as many as 35 aircraft parked together to allow visitors to compare, contrast, kick the tires, and ask questions from the attending manufacturers.
The whole range of aircraft that can be flown by sport pilots will be represented, including powered parachutes, weight-shift control trikes, gyros, and fixed-wing airplanes of every description.
“They (aircraft) will be in position when the convention starts,” said EAA’s LSA marketing consultant Dan Johnson, “ and they’ll be there until it’s over.”
Among the aircraft slated to appear include some that have never been seen in the United States, Johnson added. “Priced from $18,000 to $80,000, there’s something for everyone,” he said. “If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, it can’t be found.”
A manufacturer’s information tent will be located at the northwest corner of the display. Various LSAs from the mall with be rotated in and out of the tent throughout the convention. |
