Especially liked the "lighter than air glider" bit. I'd have liked to be lighter than air a couple of times last week....

" (f) This section will not apply to a pilot authorized by the Administrator to serve as pilot in command in experimental turbojet- powered aircraft that possesses, by original design, a single seat, when operating such single-seat aircraft."

Questions:

Is it correct to assume the 304SJ and the JS1-CJT are imported as experimental sailplanes?

FAA Admininstrator would be FSBO? What would be criteria for district FSBO to "authorize" pilot?

How about an update on operating your BonusJet and your effort to receive a waiver regarding FAA part 61.58 (after October 31, 2012).

Following suggestions in Soaring, I am trying to use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick with Condor 1.1.5 and Win 7. The control of sensitivity is not sufficient for success with the Flight Training turning exercise.

Is there a Logitech driver needed, or is there a way of setting Condor Inputs to allow for a usable scenario?

Is the older sidewinder preferable from a fine control standpoint?

Thanks for any advice.
