EVEKTOR-AEROTECHNIK A S HARMONY LSA
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Evektor Harmony is the developed version of the SportStar, which in 2005 became the first aircraft ever certified as a special light sport aircraft in the United States. It is an all-metal low-wing two-seater with a Rotax 912, a bubble canopy and conventional, forgiving handling that has made it a popular trainer.
Being first has given it a longer service record than most of the class, and flight schools have put real hours on these airframes, which means the type's weak points are known rather than theoretical. It is competent rather than exciting — 108 knots, docile, easy to land. The reservations are the import ones: parts from the Czech Republic through a distributor, a modest US fleet, and resale that depends on that distribution remaining healthy. For a school or a first owner it is a sensible, well-proven choice.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories.
