Legitimate aviation companies?

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

I think I saw this plane or one with the same design in Sebring a few years ago but it was not part of the show.

Here's a ByDanJohnson article from 3 1/2 years ago:

I haven't seen anything more recent.
