BTW IMHO if you are not registered for FAASafety.gov your missing a lot of good information and courses. You can also get TFR notices emailed to you. The FAA notices always come in before AOPA or EAA notces. Check out the Wings program.
I fly Tecnams at Mid Island (as well as CSP) They have a Sporstar on the rental line as well. They used to have CTs and SportCruisers but I haven't seen them on the line lately. As a Tecnam dealer they may be a bit biased. But I know they have tried the top LSA models. My instructor seems well versed on the top models. I like Tecnam myself but the only other LSA I've flown is the SportStar. I will get around to CT. The crystal ball isn't clear but I think there is a purchase for me in the future. I'd love to hear from anyone who has flown both CT and Tecnam.
