Jerry actually brings up a good point. Many of these homebuilt kits
look inviting and affordable except that they cater to the sport pilot
ruling. Getting answers from the companies on how to make them faster
with better loads has been a struggle. No one wants to go past the
magic numbers. They seem to be afraid that if you make it faster, and
sell it, the next owner may not have the correct license to fly it.
Every time I inquire about what it will take to have better
preformance, the sales reps. stop at the sport pilot numbers. Either
they all use the same engineer, or there afraid to answer the
question.
