I see the LT40 is well accepted, as are the Avistar and Aerostar. That's about the same where I fly.

Two alternates that are showing up... the Alpha seems to be quite viable, an easy purchase package. I've seen two show up with people who haven't bothered to contact a club, and in each case it worked out well.

My first student bought a Solo Sport, which served him well through early aerobatics. He sold it to a guy we work with, who also became my student, and he used it through early aerobatics, and is ready to sell it. I'm looking for a prospective student, to make it three on this same plane!

But, as the survey shows, there are lots of LT-40's, and some Avistars, Aerostars, and several alternates working out well like the Tower offerings. The most disappointing I've encountered is an old Eagle II, which has become the club's property. Doesn't handle well on the ground. If I use it with a student, I'm going to look into that.

Good luck!
