And my all-metal EASA certified 2-place, Rotax powered, hairdryer manages 105-110 kt on 16 lph; gives me about 6 hours endurance; has a demonstrated cross-wind (POH figure) of 22kt; has flown from NZ to Australia and around Australia; and spends much of its life operating above 35C here in WA. LSAs and their relatives are not for every mission but a few actual facts help in making a fair comparison with more traditional alternatives.
