Oh yeah! I forgot about the gliders not requiring a medical. One more possibility!

I'm more likely to go for another ultralight if I fail a medical. I still have the big empty field across the street that I used to fly out of. It's just more convenient for me.
BUT... I could certainly see a glider intro flight in my future. Once I try it I might just get hooked.

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Medical NOT required???

Hahaha...
I think you might have it backwards Roger.
Seems like all the pessimists that I know are CONSTANTLY dissappointed.

If fear of dissapointment was my main objective in life I would have missed out on all the good things! And believe me, there are some REALLY good things out there :)

I dunno, seems like the ones who complain about the gubbamint and burrocrats complicate things just as much as anything else. If we listened to all the whiners out there NOTHING would ever get done because THEY are all against us.

It may not be a bad idea for the FAA either.  It means less work on their part.  That may be the stimulus to get it through.  Roger P

I think that what it really boils down to is that it sounds like a good idea to
the bureaucrats! All the sound good ideas just tend to complicate our lives.

From personal experience there is a couple errors here but his basic point is
valid.
One the time starts from when they receive your paperwork... Of course they
might not touch it for 3 to 6 months depending on backlog... Mine usually took
3 or 4 months.
2nd and most important is a special issuance medical is only good for no more
than ONE year no matter what class....
Although subsequent applications the time starts at the end of your current
but you can only send in your renewal application 3 months before expiration.
and if it takes them 6 months then you still only have 9 months of flying.
Also if they request ANY additional information (they did on both my renewals)
then when you send it back you do not get immediate attention you are put at
the back of the que...Not good!
This is why after my last Special Issuance about 3 years or so ago I decided
on SP...

PS Since my angioplasty and stent in 2003 I have run about 25 marathons and 35
races longer than a marathon including a 628 mile race across TN in mid July
in 90 to 100 degree temps with dewpoints in the 70's , but I'm not healthy
enough to fly an airplane!

You can fly ultralights and gliders without a medical.
