I was likely one of first members of SPT — leaving in 2018 when I moved on to a Cirrus SR22 due to a mission change. Well the mission has changed again and lower and slower makes sense now so I’m in the market for an IFR/IMC equipped turbo LSA (that I’ll take E-LSA) once my SR22 sells.
You leave for 6 years and it looks like a ghost town here! What gives?

I still check in almost every day, and try to be helpful when I can.
Re: Coming back to the fold
I check in everyday hoping for something interesting to be posted.
I, on the other hand rarely have interesting things to post.

Re: Coming back to the fold
Because of the high costs involved and lack of LSA rental near enough to matter, I gave up all hopes of ever learning to fly under Light Sport years ago. I satisfy my lifelong passion for aviation via Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and related sim hardware plugged into my PC desktop "cockpit". That doesn't stop me from haunting this forum every day.

Welcome back Dave! The forum was saved from expiration by several members that donated to save the website. There are still a bunch of us who lurk here. It’s always good to see what “old friends” are up to as well as to welcome new members.dstclair wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:42 pm I was likely one of first members of SPT — leaving in 2018 when I moved on to a Cirrus SR22 due to a mission change.

A turbo LSA sounds great! Do you have a favorite make / model in mind?

Re: Coming back to the fold
I put down a contract on 2019 Sting S4 last week. I really liked the Tecnam P2008 but none on the market for the last 6 weeks and didn’t want to risk losing the Sting. I honestly did know there WERE any 914 Stings. I should pick it up in a couple weeks then I’ll reregister E-LSA and add GPS-175 for some Gentlemen’s IFR.
