Sam Aircraft Sam LS

The fuselage is semi monocoque, with a welded 4130 steel tube protective cockpit cage structure and aluminum skin.

Three different wing planforms for light-sport, STOL and amateur-built categories can be installed to a common fuselage.

In a break from normal industry practice the company said that it would offer those three sub-kits for a total that was the same as if they were ordered as a single kit, US$29,000.

[6][11] By August 2014 the company was up for sale as SAM Aircraft President Thierry Zibi indicated that he would rather develop new designs than run a production operation.

[12] In November 2015 the rights to the design, parts, jigs, molds, data and the prototype aircraft were being all offered for US$100,000.
