LE vs XL
« on: Today at 05:35:40 AM »
I'm not a big guy at 5'7"& 175lbs so I don't think pilot size is an issue.  Are there any other compelling reasons I should choose  to build the XL over the LE?

not really... Guess you can still fly after Thanksgiving, lol... Maybe resale... But I like the 'roomier' feel... Also note, you can make the XL any width you want - I made mine 22 1/4" instead of 24"... I recommend the XL, but either way - welcome aboard... Let us know if we can help...

It does seem to be the most popular model.  I'm guessing there's not a lot of difference in cost to build?
