Hey...easy on the tube and fabric "Kites":)
I'm building a tube and fabric "kite" that'll sport an 0-540 and pack 1200-1300lbs of usefull load while without leaving utility catogory ...and still smoke everything this side of a -206. Steel is good.
But you are right about legitimizing LSA, and if they stay at 111K for another 5 years they'll start to become a descent value.
Might be worth a lease back to an FBO if the tax writeoffs still work.

Yeah, ya' got me. A 540-powered anything isn't a 'kite'!
Think my bias stems from a trip up in a friends' Rotax- powered Kitfox. The foothill turbulence bounced us all over the place! Quite a ride.
We also have quite a few ultra-lite flyers up here. Even one gent with a powered parachute.
no way!!!
