lets hope yr 13 yr old son thats 6'2" signs a 75 million   3 yr contract with the NBA in eight years and buys you the mansion next to john travolta in his florida airpark.  lol ... maybe get some free dance lessons too.  i am 6'6 and with my headset on i still have an inch of clearance with the canopy. 

He not the athlete in the family, so I don't have that luck.  My oldest leaves for Harvard next year, hence the trade.  I like to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the information about Sport Cruisers.  I have not flown a Rotax, but they seem to be very reliable.  I have no issues with them, in fact I like the fuel economy and low costs.  I have been flying professionally for over 30 years and have always had an interest in light European aircraft and this is why I find SCs interesting.  I have attached a picture of my V12 engine that I have spent over 22k to refresh.  I guess I could have bought 2 Rotaxs for that.

Cheers,

Marshall

Hello Everyone:

I hope everyone is safe and we're all dreaming about flying.  I just signed up and I'm interested to learn about Sport Cruisers.  I'm looking for a modern design and fuel economy trainer.  I have 2 sons and daughter.  I soloed my oldest boy in a glider about 2 years ago and I want him to get a Private pilot certificate before leaving for college this summer.  My youngest is going to be 12 soon, so my kids very in size; and my middle son is over 6 foot and my daughter will lucky to be over 5.  I have not flown these aircraft, how adjustable are the seats and pedals?  I have flow a Rotax and I understand these motors are life limited compared to other traditional aircraft engines.  Would an Examiner fly in a LS if the engine is past it's Service Life?

I have an exotic car to trade, if someone is interested.

Thanks, and Happy Easter!
