Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group LSA

Peppy, I think you are going to find that most people on this list are transitioned ultralight pilots dealing in the slower and slower side of aviation.  There's some faster GA people such as myself but we mostly fly modern SLSAs.  Your best bet for information on the old classics is going to be the type clubs.

Thanks for the reply. I have a current medical and have never been denied. If I purchase a LSA, I may keep my medical current. All of this is just part of a prospective pre-buy thought process. I might go back to a standard certicated aircraft. Maybe experimental. At my age, 63, I've started to collect friends embroiled in expensive and time-consuming medical paper-shuffles. Most of my flying is by myself or with my wife, day vfr, so I am thinking about getting ahead of that curve.

Be careful about the medical.  If ever denied a medical, it exempts you from the LSP program.

Geetings all!

I am a brand new member and hope I am in the right place.

I have been an intrument rated private pilot SEL for 28 years and former owner of a Cherokee 140. I am thinking of jumping back into ownership, but at my age, would prefer a LSA to avoid the medical bureaucray of the FAA should a medical condition develop. Most of my flying nowadays is day vfr with my wife or a buddy anyway, so not much to be lost.

Legacy aircraft seem to include Luscomb, Ercoupe, Aeronca, Taylorcraft and Piper Cubs.

I am hoping this group has some experience with these aircraft and/or can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Joe
