Top 5 Cheapest Light Sport & Light Aircraft 2022-2023 | Price & Specs

In this episode, I’m sharing my top 5 list of the cheapest light-sport and light aircraft models (brand new, used, or without piston engines), focusing on less popular companies and brands. I’ll also include their current price and technical specifications. Check out my choice for the top aircraft near the end of the video!

A light-sport aircraft is defined by the FAA as a small, low-power airplane with lower operational demands. In the US, they're often called LSAs. LSAs are a special class of ultralight aircraft built from kits or plans and can be flown by anyone with a sport pilot certificate.

The RV 6 has been replaced with the RV 7. Neither would meet the current LSA specs. The RV 12 is Vans LSA kit.

[spinna]

They're all awesome! Thank you for opening up a whole new list of amazing plane ideas for me!!!

[mikeryan]

In the U.S. max speed for Light Sport is 120 knots and max weight is 1320 lbs so given the specs you stated none of these planes qualify under Light Sport Rules, at least in the U.S.

[johnnawrocki]

I believe you did a very good job laying out the information I enjoyed it

[woody]

Thank you for the information. Did not know there were new aircraft under $100K.

[youthfulambitionya]

Awesome compilation of Sport Aircraft.

[kirkjones]

Nice list! Although I am more inclined towards the STOL aircraft in the LSA category. The Highlander (currently own) and the Chinook2 are a couple of good examples. I'm a bit surprised those type of aircraft, aren't on your list. Nothing wrong with a preference for low wing aircraft. It just seemed curious.

[wavewaker]

Thanks, helpful in picking up plane, hoping more in depth info or reviews on each plane.

[chrispetty]

I like the TL due to the trailing link landing gear. Which you neglected to mention. I think that would be a good selling point. They provide smoother landings.

[albertlanglois]

Enjoyed...quite thorough and interesting

[erlnd]

Thank you for the inspiration! I am interested in Cub, Kodiak, Zenith short take off landing 31" bush LG, Can't help my Champaign Tast and hopps and barley budget though...

[coolheeling]

Awesome compilation and useful on aircraft never heard of
Enjoyed the video as well 👍

[harryciehma]

nice content...do you a collection of LSA under 50 grand USD. and share also the maintenanca cost imformation.

[pilotrobroy]

Watching the RV-6 aerobatics, what are the parachute requirements?

[rufusmclean]

really nice...are they all available in the USA?

[bwuepper]

I would think efficiency would include fuel efficiency. So, perhaps include the usable fuel total and some indication of fuel burn at max speed. Thanks for the video.

[gs]

a very interesting video, although prices are a bit hight

[Shadowfdath]

you can get enclosed cabin ultralight style of builds that are LSA and get them NICE for sub $20k all day long used. $85k to start in this video is nuts!

[johnk]

I like the list however; based on your commentary / performance specifications, I don't think all of these qualify as LSA.
