The high-camber, forward swept wings are mounted at the top of the canopy and add considerably to the model’s remarkable ability for low, slow flight with plenty of margin above the stall.Ĭonstruction is a combination of aluminium, fabric and composite, with Aeroprakt choosing the best material for the component. It is easy to fly, not uncomfortable for cruising and has a very respectable useful load. Aircraft buyers should thoroughly evaluate each model themselves before making a purchase.Ī more muscular version of the popular A22L, the LSA Foxbat ticks all the boxes of what a good sport aircraft should be. Aircraft performance figures are those claimed by the importer or manufacturer and as such are usually best-case numbers.

READERS PLEASE NOTE: Australian Flying was unable to test every aircraft for this guide.

This guide is meant to show new aeroplane buyers what to look for when considering an LSA, and although not comprehensive, covers the models most likely to fulfil that need. Included are powered S-LSAs that have an MTOW above 544kg. Such is the category burgeoning that every time we declared the list complete another manufacturer added another model to the list.Īnd so we found ourselves necessarily applying some limits before the job got very big on us. The team at Australian Flying has raked every corner of aviation to try to compile the most definitive list of S-LSAs possible. This is an effect of the manufacturer doing the certification the administering bodies don’t know what is and isn’t LSA until they register one. Neither CASA nor RAAus can provide a definitive list of LSAs available in Australia.
