I can't wait until Cirrus version of the light sport,

the SRS, comes out. It  looks a bit like the

Lightning, with wing tips and a full airframe

parachute. It's not as aerodynamic, and uses the Rotax

100, which begs the question, why? With the price

increase they just put in effect for their base model

4-seater, fromm $199,900 to $214,900, I bet that their

light sport is easily going to push 150K with any kind

of decent options. With a price increase like that,

the price increase at Arion doesn't look as bad. If

their light sport is as boring to fly as their

4-seater, the only place I see their light sport is in

flight schools.

		   This from the first customer SC to fly in the UK:

 

 I flew the Sportcruiser a week ago and was

 pleasantly surprised, the

 power from the Rotax was more than adequate, I

 wasn't able to properly

 asses the climb but seem to be better than 800 fpm,

 however, the cruise

 was good at an honest 115 knots, that's at 4800 rpm

 (75%) and take off

 from concrete was - into 10-12 mph wind - about 100

 meters. 

 As far as I know there are two 3300 jab SC's in the

 build, one in the

 North Midlands and the other South of London, will

 be interesting to see

 what the benefit turns out to be!.

 

 I quite liked the look of the SC but am not a fan of

 the Rotax although

 in certain airframes there seemed to be little

 difference between the

 912S and the 3300, as Joe says above will be

 interesting to see what the

 difference is. Joe flew behind a Jabiru 2200 before.

 

 Regards, Clive

 But that is the motivation.   By offering a light sport for use  in flight schools, they hope to sell more 4 seaters.  Same thing Cessna did  and hopes to do.   They made very little on 150's but the step up sold  the hell out of the 172 and 182.  Didn't hurt the 310 and 340 either.
