NICE - but a bit pricey for an LSA.

Yeah I read a review on the CubCrafters cubbies a little while back (I don't remember if it was in P&P or Flying) and it mentioned that they were working on a CC340-powered LSA model.
That's really pushing the upper limits for an LSA. Would be a fun little plane though. Talk about a climb-monster!
If you trim out that little mini-MFD and stick some regular steam gauges back in the price would drop a bit. I'd prefer it with needles instead of pixels anyway.
The LSA that has really caught my eye is the new Luscombe LSA-8. Like all of the new birds, it's got a steep pricetag too. Sure, you're getting a brand-new plane but with used vintage Luscies (many of em will fit the LSA ratings too) still in the 15-20,000 range I think the new ones are a bit overpriced too.

Glad I'm not the only one lol! CubCrafters Top Cub also looks interesting, and has some serious performance!
