All the FAR chat throws me for a loop...
So basically, what is the difference? If I'm a Private Pilot, how does going for an LSA or kit Cub differ from just buying a used Piper Cub? From my reading, I wouldn't be restricted as far as flying at night or XC, but maybe I'd suffer a bit on useful load or having a bigger engine for better short field performance and so on.
I'm not in the market, but plan to be in about 3 to 4 years, I'm still planning on a good ole Super Cub, but my curiosity has me looking into the other options and I was wondering what the basic difference is.
Thanks!
