Roger: I noticed you mentioned that you are an A&P. It seems to me that my engine (a Lycoming O235-N2C) sometimes exhibits a rapid "hammering" sound in the 2600-2700 rpm range. (Or, it may just be the "biting" of the prop in the oncoming air stream.) This usually happens when it is severe clear, no traffic in the area, living-room chair smooth and little radio activity so maybe its just the result of an overactive imagination. (We need SOMETHING to worry about at all times, don't we?) I'm approaching annual time and wondered if there was any kind of test (short of a tear-down) that can evaluate any developing "sloppiness" in the connecting rod or wrist-pin bearings. (If these automotive terms have a corresponding airplane engine application.) Do you know of any such test or equipment that can do that?

I should learn to proof read before hitting send. What should have been said is that we are not all UL pilots transitioning to Sport. I have 1,000 in GA planes as well as an A&P license. Right now I work and fly on light sport planes. They fill the need to fly and not spend a bunch of money. Checking in on type specific sites is the best way to go if you are interested in a particular type. Take care. Roger P

All of us in the group are transitioning UL pilots. I started with ULs but have a bit of GA background. The sport side fits most of my flying desires and is a bit simpler. Roger P

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.

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
