Buck up, pessimist. There have always been "haves" and "have nots", and the latter has always been far more numerous.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - LSAs will become affordable... when they're used, just like our current crop of 150s and 152s.

It wouldn't surprise me if the ratio of flight schools vs private owners buying new LSAs is the same as when 150s were decades ago.

It also wouldn't surprise me if the grumbling about unaffordable new aircraft started when the Wright brothers peddled their first product and has continued unabated since. Remember that no one built a Pientepol Aircamper because new airplanes in the 1930s were cheap!
