Can't go up?
You must not have read "The Man Who Rode the Thunder" by William H. Rankin. I believe he spent around 45 minutes under a round chute after ejecting from an F-8 in a thundersotrm. Some of the updrafts took him so high he passed out from lack of oxygen!
Anyway, a powered parachute may qualify as an LSA, but it doesn't qualify as an
airplane. Any replacement for my 150 would have to have fixed wings, or it'll miss the short list.
