Key Takeaways:

Several Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) manufacturers, including American Legend Aircraft, Gobosh, CubCrafters, and Paradise Aviation, are reporting successful sales just days into an airshow.
Specific sales figures include American Legend Aircraft selling 5 units (3 S-LSA, 2 kits), Gobosh selling 2, CubCrafters at least 1, and Paradise Aviation securing one firm sale with another pending.
The collective strong sales activity across these diverse LSA companies suggests a positive trend and potentially better times ahead for the Light Sport Aircraft market.

Could my spot survey of just a few LSA companies at the show be the harbinger of better things to come? American Legend Aircraft prez Darrin Hart told me yesterday his company had sold three S-LSA and two Texas Star Cub kits…only three days into the show. *** Dave Graham of Gobosh reports two sales of the popular low-wing Gobosh 700. *** CubCrafters has tallied at least one sale so far. *** And Paradise Aviation’s Chris Regis had one firm sale and another one ready to ink. *** You go gang!
