August 19, 2004 AVweb's Question of the Week ...

Last week, AVweb asked our readers to speculate about the new Light Sport Aircraft category — specifically, how well will it hold up once there's a highly-publicized accident involving an LSA?  Would such an accident mark the end of the new cateogory?  No way, say AVweb readers — at least 240 of you (68% of our respondents) said that LSA could endure some negative publicity.  A mere 22 respondents (6%) said Yes, it'll be big trouble (or possibly the end) for LSA.  The remaining 26% of respondents agreed with our statement You think the country is divided about the Presidency, just wait until an LSA has a mid-air with a larger GA aircraft — then you'll see divided!

This week, in the wake of Hurricane Charley, AVweb wants to hear about your aircraft insurance?  When it comes to airplane insurance, what's in your wallet?
