sandpiper Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Personally, I think that a weight increase unique to iCon is BS. Either the light sport class weight is increased for all, or iCon can build their plane as a "traditional" aircraft. But, hey, who am I. Maybe I just don't get the big picture. Maybe the iCon won't spin, but I bet it's gonna have as many accidents as any other LS. There, I feel better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Icon is using 80lbs of the exception probably because that is a weight that they can justify as being used for spin-resistance. FD has not produced a spin-resistant wing so they cannot apply for the same exemption. To think we are in line for a 250lb, grandfathered exception is simply wishful thinking.
