Suppose I should post here too!

Hi all!
New member here. I'm based out of Eugene, Oregon, and spend about a third of the year in Baja. I'm a private certificate holder, though I find myself flying LSA more often than not lately. My FBO of choice has a Cessna 162 and I've been using that as my Pacific NW cross-country plane for the past couple of years. It's a great little aircraft and just the right size for myself, my partner, 50lbs of stuff, and enough gas to get from bathroom stop to bathroom stop!
I've also started down the road to a CFI-Sport. I've got the hours required, and have started to get a handle on the right-seat flying. I'm planning to teach friends and family; doubt I'll do much with it professionally. Might help my insurance rates if I ever get an aircraft of my own, though! It's been a blast 're-learning' - maneuvers are simple enough...it's the explaining all of 'em while you're flying that's difficult!
My dream LSA is a Zenith 750 Wonder if they'll ever make the 750 in a S-LSA version??? If not, the 801 would do nicely. There's a lot of Idaho and Colorado backcountry that needs to be explored...
