A Little Bit Of LSA At NBAA 2008

EAA 2009 Sweepstakes Plane On Display At BizAv Show

Talk about shaking things up a bit. Flight Design USA announced Friday its 2009 MC light sport aircraft will be on display at the National Business Aircraft Association trade show to be held in Orlando, FL Convention Center on October 6-8. The MC will be a featured item in the EAA's display space at NBAA, as the MC is one of the prizes to be offered in the organization’s 2009 Sweepstakes.

"We received word from NBAA officials that the MC (Metal Concept) Light-Sport Aircraft is the first aircraft in the new segment ever to appear in their annual convention and trade show," said Flight Design USA president Tom Peghiny.

NBAA spokesman Dan Hubbard confirmed, "We believe this is the first LSA to be shown at the Convention."

The National Business Aircraft Association, running its 61st convention, is one of the nation’s major shows, and is the largest general aviation trade show measured by exhibitors.

"For the price of one business jet or business-configured airliner, you could buy a sizeable fleet of MCs or our top-of-the-line CTLS," Peghiny said.

The CT series is the best selling Light-Sport Aircraft by a wide margin, with its 20% market share more than double the number two selling LSA and representing a greater share of the market than the numbers three, four, and five LSA combined.

Introduced at AirVenture 2008, the MC is aimed at recreational buyers who prefer metal to composite construction. MC is optimized for the flight training industry in the USA and around the world. A spacious cabin (more than 51 inches wide) is significantly roomier for two persons than most aircraft used for instruction.

EAA's Sweepstakes is a major annual fundraiser for the member organization's major activities such as the Young Eagles program and other aviation education and preservation initiatives, and provides the essential support for the members' extraordinary efforts to promote and enhance aviation.
