Have you seen the Risen? $180K, ballistic parachute, and 180kts. 6GPH with Rotax engine.

??? Isn't 120 knots the max to be LSA?

Right; it's too fast and too complex (retractable gear) for LSA. It is a relative bargain though for a gorgeous two place speedster.

Risen is selling the plane as a factory builder assist experimental in the USA, that has to be built in Europe presently. Build slots are sold out into the new year. They are working to establish a factor build program in the US.
A very cool innovative design with carbon fiber construction. I’d look hard at buying one if the factory comes here.

Pre-takeoff checklist
If they could fit a Rotax 915 in that plane, it might really move. I didn't see their booth at OSH this year.~

Final Approach
The one I posted is not risen, it’s 110kts on a good day I think

Nothing they make is certified/available in the USA.

I was talking about the the thread title. Didn't even watch the video before replying. It just hit me. K, thousand, buckos, a grand. I was thinking you meant K, knots.

See post #6 above. It’s available here as an experimental.

The F2 looks like a nice little plane. In today’s LSA world, unfortunately $200k or so is not that unusual.
1) Call me old fashioned, but I’d like at least steam gauge airspeed and altimeter if suddenly the screens went blank.
2) I don’t get the need to “fly it on” flat @ 60kts without a flare. Strikes me as lazy, and leading to higher-than-necessary landing speeds and a lot more energy to dissipate if something goes wrong.
