Forum for Sport Pilot talk?

[Nils Rostedt]

Hi!
Is there any active web forum with a special focus on Sport Pilot and LSAs ?

SP used to be a fairly active topic in this newsgroup, but recently I have
seen surprisingly few entries here (and some in r.a.piloting). Maybe I'm
just getting blind and my google searches bad, but please advise.

Cheers,
Nils

LSP/LSA is a little slow these days. Post something - might liven things up
a bit. :-)

Too bad Cessna 152's and similar sized planes weren't included - 1,600 or
1,700 lbs? Instead it's set at 1,320 lbs. Oh well.

Some choices are knocked out of LSA by speed ...120 kts/138 mph. My thought
here is, if it meets the weight and stall speed limits - who cares how fast
they fly? I sent that comment in during the rule making period (whatever
it's called).

LSP/LSA - it is what it is.

Another no-medical option is motorglider.

Is active you just have to be thickskined and ignore about 3 of the posters
who are ****ed off because it's ruining their fat-ul (read illegal) UL
business! ;-)

I'd say that rec.aviation.pilot is just as good as any, plus sooner or
later we'll all fail the medical and will automatically be a 'Sport
Pilot'.

Don't fail your medical or you'r skunked.

It also has a moderator that may or may not be on his medication.
