Well, it’s not entirely new to Oshkosh, but the Italian company Groppo is launching a new marketing effort for its two-seat tandem Groppo Trail at an eye-catching price. The Trail will be available as an E-LSA, an LSA, and an amateur-built kit, according to Steve Bassinger, who’s representing Groppo in the U.S. Think of it as an Italian Cub, and you’ll be pretty close.
