Overall I found it to be a good article, I just had a problem with the last paragraph and the idea that E-LSA builders could mod their aircraft AFTER cert is somehow a "flaw" without mentioning the good that has come out of many of the mods from the early builders here. None actually affect the way the airplane flies I think, all are designed to make ownership, inspections and life easier for the owner/builder.
Many of which have been adopted in the continuing evolution of the RV-12 which imo is part of what is making it a popular new kit, well that and the fact that premium auto gas is now 1.99!
That makes my operating cost pretty close to an even ten bucks an hour. Heck it cost me $100 to take my wife to Barett Jackson to just look today!
