Tecnam continues to flood the LSA market with new models, and its latest product caters to those who are looking for a low-cost, bare-bones aircraft for fun flying. At a base price of $74,999, the Echo Classic Light is the 13th variant of the P92. Intended for the $100 hamburger flier who is looking for a basic airplane to get from Point A to B, this LSA will do the trick.

Predominantly of metal construction, the two-seat Echo Classic Light boasts a full fuel payload of 425 pounds, which is quite good for an LSA. But the exceptional payload is explained by the airplane’s 11.9-gallon fuel capacity. The LSA is powered by a Rotax 912UL, so the fuel burn is quite low. Tecnam claims a three-hour endurance, but if you are planning legs that long you may want to consider adding another 11.9-gallon fuel tank for $1,399.
