I am building a Bushcaddy E-LSA. I purchased the kit through BushCaddy. I have looked at a lot of kits and there are some very good ones to choose from. The Bushcaddy is an all metal plane and has great storage area for camping gear behind the seats. It has the short field take off and landing performance to get into the areas around the Pacific Northwest I was looking for. It fits the light sport plane requirements. In the proccess of building the cargo door it really hits you to the amount of cargo area in this plane. Bushcaddy has five other models to choose from. R-80, R-120, these are two seater L-160, L-162 These are two + one seater and the four seater L-164 BushCaddy's web site is at www.bushcaddy.com. Feel free to contact me.
