Key Takeaways:

A spot survey of LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) companies at a recent show revealed strong sales activity.
Multiple manufacturers, including American Legend Aircraft, Gobosh, CubCrafters, and Paradise Aviation, each reported several aircraft or kit sales within the first few days.
The reported sales figures suggest a surprisingly positive and potentially improving trend 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!
