I have a sport pilot license and have been looking at buying an LSA. The RV-12 is pretty much my go-to choice.
From what I've read, most people that buy LSA's aren't people that only have a sport pilot license....They tend to be old guys with an existing license (Private Pilot or above) that want to fly but won't pass their medical.
Why would anyone buy an LSA once the third class medical reform gets passed (yes, it's been "any day now" for years)?
With this in mind, is it right to assume that RV-12s (or any other LSA) will be worthless when people can buy an RV-7 for the same price, and not have to deal with Rotax's or the weight/power/speed restrictions....this would also give those people the option to buy a much cheaper plane like a Cessna 150 for $20k.
