Sport Pilot Talk

I have around 60 hrs, do the math, I have switched planes, instructors you name it it's been something to overcome. I used to think I had to want it bad enough to deal with the aggravation, I'm no longer sure I want to be aggravated or keep throwing money at this. While it really breaks my heart I j...

Really considering tossing in the towel. Multiple mechanical issues slowed progress over the winter, I've done the written, met all flight requirements and have tried to prep for the checkride. Scheduled 4 hrs last week airplane down with dinged wingtip, 4 hours today canceled instructor illness/inj...

The Remos gx is an awesome lsa. The only lsa in my area are ct's, 1 ls I like and 1 sw I'll fly. I really wish the gx was still around. Doors off in the summer and handles like a dream.

Trying to confuse me with the facts
the only documentation I have seen lists gw @1260, I've alot to learn, thanks

This is an 85 horse metal not fabric and corrosion problems (all ad's?) have been complied with I believe. The Stc may have been done it's something I must check on. What must be done to insure it is SP eligible? I realize I have alot of homework to do yet. thanks It is a c model. I tried to post a ...

I have the opportunity to buy 1\3 share in an ercoupe. lots of documentation, owned by an A&p. I don't know the model right this moment though I have that. It is a 1946 w\rudder pedals. It is supposed to be recertified?? lsa.
THOUGHTS

Anything the gov't (local state or fed)can do by any means necessary in order to invade our privacy and confiscate our assets (fines) and to justify their existence. It certainly ain't about public safety or our borders would be secure. Just my 2cents(nonsense)

I don't quite understand how these lsa can be used for law enforcement, some with officers that only have sport pilot ratings yet the lsa cannot be used for aerial photography or glider towing.
more of the gov't do as I say...

nice plane, flies well, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the fuel tank being in the fuselage. Where is the fuel tank in your automobile? I think if the fuel cell breaches the cabin it doesn't matter anyway. What was the last thing to go thru the airline pilots mind when he crashed? the drink cart :...

I have finally finished requirements for sport pilot and will spend the next few weeks preparing for my checkride.
I would appreciate any thoughts or input pertaining to the checkride, I know all dpe's are different but....

I may be able to fly a Remos soon, : nice plane, flies well, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the fuel tank being in the fuselage. Where is the fuel tank in your automobile?

Good discussion! As a prospective LSA customer/instructor, the 162, although not perfect, is lookin' mighty fine. The potential to become the LSA 'standard' is its most appealing characteristic to me. It certainly makes my Sun n Fun shortlist! Might as well toss in my worthless observation. I am no...

alot of this stuff is confusing, and not many instructors seem interested in what is needed as far as endorsements etc. until time for checkride. If you want to do this you must be persistent and I'm not saying that's bad.

Paul, Based on 61.39 (6) Have an endorsement, if required by this part, in the applicant's logbook or training record that has been signed by an authorized instructor who certifies that the applicant— (iii) Has demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject areas in which the applicant was defi...
