My wife is looking for an airplane and I would love to hear some thoughts on a good airplane for her mission.

1. Light Sport
2. BRS preferred but not mandatory
3. 120-130 kts cruise
4. Tricycle gear
5. Two place
6. Enclosed cockpit
7. Suitable for the novice pilot.
8. Would make a good daily VFR flyer for a 20 minute commute.
9. Can be flown by a 5'-0" pilot.
10. Experimental preferred

Any suggestions are appreciated.

LSA is unknown territory to me so I don't know if this is a reasonable set of requirements. Please let me know.

Also, is a Jabiru 3300 powered Sonex still considered LSA?

Thanks,
Glenn
