Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Standard category LSA

I guess my post was not clear - it's a holiday weekend here with lots of kiddie interuptions here!

 

I have a current medical (went flying with my wife this morning to Wisconsin for breakfast in a Turbo Arrow).

 

If I decide to buy again, I would like it to be a light sport qualified aircraft. I may even keep my medical current after purchase, but since I fly day vfr mostly anyway, I am considering a LSA.

 

I have the list of qualifying aircraft - I am looking for a pilot's group that may share insights about owning and operating some of the qualifiying aircraft. I belong to two Piper groups, who are a wealth of useful information about Piper Cherokees (I know I saved 1000's of dollars with ideas from those groups). I'd like to find a place where I could get some of that informal input about LSA. What's a Luscombe like to own? Likely troublespots? That kind of thing.

 

I will continue to look.

 

Thanks for your response.

Joe,

After reading your post, I'm a bit confused, What exactly are you asking?

To avoid all the medical issues, you will need to fly as a sport pilot, with the
attendant restrictions, like no night flight.

I do not know if the planes you mentioned meet the restrictions for LSA
aircraft. If they do, then you can fly one of them. If they do not, then you
will have to look at some different planes.
