I'm looking at buying my first plane. Have been looking at j-3, pa-11, pa-18-95, legend cub, cubrafters (sport cub and sometimes for fun carbon cub.)
Most all of these are "light sport." I have not been looking at LSA intentionally- it just happens that most everythigng I have been looking at is LSA.
If I have my PPL, what exactly are the benefits of going lights sport? Is it just easier maintenance? I don't need an annual by an IA?
I have medical, and don't anticipate losing it as I'm relatively healthy and relatively young (40.)- so I plan on keeping my PPL for the foreseeable future and won't be going to Sport Pilot or anything.
So what are the benefits of LSA? Why do I hear some people say they would NEVER want to lose their LSA certificate?
Should I be expanding my search to include non-LSA (mission is just having fun, flying slow, maybe doing trips within a couple of hours of home.)
