Re:First Open Source Airplane Could Cost Just $15,000 by ars on Tuesday July 30, 2013 @07:42AM (#6126315)
This is intended to be a light sport aircraft so the comparison is not completely valid.

LSA has 2 seats, take off weight 1300lb (600kb), max speed 120knots (138 mph), no specific fuel limit.

An ultralight is good for fun, but not practical for transportation. An LSA can be used as transportation - it's about 3 times faster than a car.
