"Made mainly of carbon fiber, the e-Go weighs a little more than 300 pounds...According to the website, the e-Go runs on unleaded fuel and gets about 65 miles to the gallon when flying at 90 knots."
That is truly amazing. Now, which YC startup is going to solve the problem of easily getting the light-sport license?
- tjohns 10y agoThe light-sport license is relatively easy to get, compared to everything else. You only need to log 20 hours of flight time, and you can use a drivers license in place of an FAA medical exam.
- throwaway_xx9 10y agoActually, it's 20 hours of instruction time, not "flight time." And that's enough to get the licence, but unless you come from a flying family, that will probably get you killed. Factoid: According to a flight school owner I know, it takes on average 65 landings to master them in a C152 or C172.
