Lastly, although some LSAs are tube-and-fabric throwbacks, many are sleek, bulbous designs with wide bubble canopies and stick controls. In other words, they look like little fighters...but they're not. You might be tempted to fly rolls and loops and high-speed pull-ups, but before you do, remember they are not stressed for aerobatics; in fact, to meet the restrictive light sport weight rules they are built to a minimum strength. This is not to say they are unsafe—they're safe, when flown within their intended flight envelope. Just don't do any thing you wouldn't (or shouldn't) do in a Cessna 172.
