Thanks for your comments, Dave! I have yet to fly the Bristell but have heard the plane is very good. Are you familiar with the TL Sports planes: Sparker or Sting? What kind of insurance rate do you get on the Bristell? I have heard from the dealer that it can be as high as $8,000; have you...

Thanks for your comments! Are you familiar with the Bristell? I have not flown it yet. I have flown many LSA type planes and liked the feel. I have also flown the TL Sports planes and really liked the Sparker and the Sting. Any experience with any of these planes?

Thanks for your comments! I have flown several so far and really enjoyed the planes. Have not heard the parts comment before so thanks for that, I will check on it. I am looking at new so the first two years will be covered by the Manufacturing company.

Thanks for your comments! Great experience. I am from WI but mostly fly in FL now with a few trips up to WI. I am looking at the TL Sport planes: Sparker or Sting or possibly the Bristell. They all are very nice to fly but again I have only flown them on nice days.

Thanks for your comments! What do you mean by "get used to"? Can you share your experience with learning to fly and getting use to the LSA? Are you familiar with the TL Sports planes: Sparker or STing or how about the Bristell?

Most of my flights are short hops around FL, and some around the SE US and then a few longer flights a year up to WI. I almost never fly with more than one other person. For all the years I have flown a 4 seater, I have almost never used the other two seats. This will mostly be flights with...

Thanks for your comments! Yes, great advice and I have flown 6 so far and some are very good and others are not so good. There is a big difference between the planes. The E-LSAs are not as light any further as they use to be. The Sparker is about 1,700lbs empty so they are starting to get up...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi Dave; Thanks for your comments! I have test flown the VL3 and enjoyed it but a bit tight width-wise, but fast. On my first test flight we did a stall and my head hit the canopy as the left wing dropped hard but other than that I liked the plane. The finish of the plane that I flew was not...

Hi Bigmo; Thanks for your comments! I greatly appreciate your experienced comments. I have test flown several LSA planes and agree with your comments - to the extent of my experience. Are you familiar with the TL Sports planes: Sparker, Sting, etc.? Or how about the Bristell? All three of...

Thanks for your comments Capt.! I am looking at either the new TL Sparker or the more established Sting and possibly the Bristell. All are two seaters, the Sting and Bristell are rated speed-wise, similar to a 182 and the Sparker is speed-wise in the 160s kts. Do you have any knowledge of the...

I have owned a 182 and a Cirrus but want to down size and cut my expenses and maintenance costs. I have been looking at a few LSA planes but concerned they are much lighter. Has anyone owned or flown an LSA longer distance? What is ur opinion on these planes? Reliable? Rotex a good engine...
