With the airport made in a comfortable 64 kias approach, I drop full flaperons and combined with the simulated Zenith’s fixed leading-edge slats, I slow quickly to 50 kias. Now with a decent tailwind, the CH701 heads south down the valley at almost 90 kias, and I turn back towards the airport, pulling power and adding the first notch of the full-span flaperons. I clean up the airplane and set into an aggressive left climbing turn, seeing 60 kias at 1,000 fpm. With one notch of flaperons, I am off the runway in a blink of an eye, and the Zenith handles the “sporty” mountain winds without flinching. A Zenith CH701 STOL flies into a gorgeous sunset showing X-Plane’s upgraded graphics in version 12. This will be a quick lap around the patch, with steep rising terrain to my left, and much steeper terrain just east of the runway. I’m using Runway 35, and have dialed in wind 011 at 10G12 at ground level. To give this simulated STOL machine a good workout, I am using Idaho’s Johnson Creek (3U2) with an elevation of 4,690 feet. The X-Plane Cub flies as expected, and even a small reduction in its limited power brings the nose down into a gentle descent. I choose Runway 31 back at Pioneer for my landing, and with a bit of a right-rear-quartering tailwind, as expected in real-life, the Cub is a handful until those huge tundra tires grab the grass below me. The minimal but also quite realistic avionics in front of me tell me only what I really need to know to stay in the air, and after a quick touch-and-go at the Ultralights Field and a greaser landing right on Boeing Plaza, I take back off and buzz the controllers in the tower, because in a flight simulator, you can do that without hearing from the FAA. I’ve dialed in just 5 knots of crosswind out of 235 degrees, and staying on the rudder pedals keeps the nose pointed down the grass runway, and the X-Plane Cub is off the ground before I know it. Choosing the Piper J3 Cub with tundra tires, I firewall the throttle and immediately the tail comes up, just like the real thing. I am lined up where the numbers would be if Runway 13 at Pioneer Airport in Oshkosh (WS17) had numbers.

Lucky for you, though, if you really want to get your hands on an LSA, there is a very good and nearly free option you may not have considered. The problem is that, unlike heavier legacy fleet airplanes, LSAs are far less common, and dealers are spread out in every corner of the U.S. With your curiosity piqued, the next obvious step is to see for yourself just what LSAs can do. While some think they are too “twitchy” because of their relatively light weight, others think they are nimble, fun, affordable machines that deliver a great deal of desirable “stick-and-rudder” flying on as little as three gallons of automotive gas per hour. There is no lack of debate about how LSAs feel in the air.
Maybe you’ve begun to think that an LSA flown with either your current private pilot certificate-or a new sport pilot ticket might be the answer to getting into the sky, but you have questions about how an LSA actually flies. My recent articles on about light sport airplanes have made some readers curious about the wonderful fuel efficiency and performance of this niche of general aviation, one that makes recreational flying about as much fun as it can be.
