I think he was referring to the Harmon Rocket with the rotary engine that set the time to climb record.Atrosa wrote:Not only do I think that IS a LSA... I'm pretty confident it should be my first LSA.... What could possibly go wrong?drseti wrote:I don't think that's an LSA, Dan.

I rented from NM Sport Aviation, based at Santa Fe (KSAF - 7000 ft), and took their Remos GX to Angel Fire (KAXX - 8400 ft). It's not a problem, as long as you're not too overweight and try to fly overgross. I weigh 230 lbs. A typical S-LSA airplane has a better power loading, and the same wing area loading, as Cessna 150. Make sure to plan for climbout gradient, not just runway length required.FlyAgain wrote:I live near Colorado Springs. We're at over 6,000 ft making density altitude a major issue as is the unpredictable winds we get here along the front range.
