Sport Pilot Talk

Anybody posting a picture log of the LSA happenings and interests from Airventure?!

Well, I had the chance to try on a bunch of headsets in an Allegro the other day -- I tried the following: Bose X Lightspeed Sierra Lightspeed Zulu.2 Bose a20 Basically I flew up to a pilot services place that I used to take lessons at, and the CFI there (my old one) gave me the run of those 4 -- i'...

Flew an allegro 2007 now -- and frankly I found it to be a bit different than anything else I've flown thus far. I'm going to try to fly the 2000 sometime this week, as its got almost 3500 hrs on it, I'll see if the controls feel any looser/different/etc. I've also got some links to a remos gx and a...

I know that most headset manufacturers aim for a certain band to cancel within, and i'm wondering what you guys have observed to be the best/comfort/price for a rotax engine's frequency. I'll be specifically flying the allegro 2007 for my training, and likely be looking at something a bit quicker fo...

Just a quick update on my progress: I went to washington DC and flew with a school up there. There is currently a political battle going on between two schools trying to access the same pipersport -- I only found this out after I had flown with one school and starting looking at pictures of the othe...

I want to first thank all of you for your posts and thoughts on my situation. Special thanks to Helen regarding the offer at CSP -- I've looked at some videos and am VERY enticed with what I see... I'll be giving you a call to talk sometime this week. I think after thinking this over for the last fe...

So -- I'm transferring training. My current CFI is more than willing to instruct me in an LSA, I however do not have access to aforementioned LSA for instruction to take place in. I've got about 20 hours of Cirrus SR2x time under my belt, and have done a demo flight in a carbon cub SS. I'm being for...

Thanks for the input, guys. I think what I might do is talk to him and just get him to show me his plane, then casually ask if he's looking for co-ownership or perhaps rental, if I were to take care of the insurance + hourly rate necessary to get it where it needs to be (or split insurance if its on...

dstclair: I can understand that, however I think i was perhaps slightly misleading with this topic. I'm more wondering about the flying into and out of the SFRA, not necessarily landing at KIAD (in my mind, two separate issues). Regarding calling potomac tracon, thats a GREAT idea, and I will absolu...

Hi guys, I'm not sure where to really go with this, so i figure i'll give it a shot here... This is really two separate issues. Issue #1: I live across the street from a private grass strip. When I say 'across the street', i mean that i can walk through a guys yard, cross a main road, and be at the ...

So -- was wondering if anybody has done the washington SFRA into a class B in an LSA... Right now, I don't have access to a LSA, so I've been doing this in the Cirrus SR20 I've been training in. I'm about to get access to a sport cruiser, so that'll become my trainer of choice. My big question -- ha...

Quick question about the allegro... What type of control arrangement does it have? Is it just a single stick down the center of the aircraft? And how does the throttle and brake work?


Thanks for the info!

Hi guys, Quick introduction, I've been working toward my ppl for about the last 3-4 months, and turns out i have something that prohibits me from getting a medical. (yes, i've consulted my physician, she believes I am safe to fly, however the FAA will not grant the 3rd class medical). That being sai...
