The Leading Edge: Finding LSA ‘Unobtanium’
That sleek demo bird at Oshkosh led to the discovery of a whole new up-and-coming breed of high-performance aircraft emerging in Europe spurred on by maturing technologies. I believe this segment of the market will be well received in the U.S., and a surge in demand will follow the implementation of MOSAIC. I would like to believe I got in on the leading edge of this wave, but for right now, it is time to return to TL Sport Aircraft in the Czech Republic for the builder-assist portion. Stay tuned to see how the build goes.
