Of course, for many pilots that have lost their medical, there's a good
reason for it, one that would prevent them from legally flying anything.


Really? Can you point to the reg in Part 103 that prevents someone
from operating an ultralight for medical reasons?\

an ultralight is different from a light sport aircraft.



People selling the sport plane certification rules as a "you don't need a
medical to fly" solution are only telling half the story.

And here we see Mr. Duniho pontificating at his best. Despite the fact
that the final Sport Pilot rule has not been published, and, hence, no
one knows what the final rule says about medical requirements, he
somehow has the ability to not only speculate, but actually predict
what will be decided.


Even the people pushing the Light Sport rule acknowledge that what Mr.
Duniho says is correct. They don't trumpet it, but they acknowledge it.

Buried in http://www.sportpilot.org/nprm/sectional_analysis.html:

Under the proposal if a pilot knows or has reason to know of
any medical condition that would affect his or her ability to
operate a light-sport aircraft, then the pilot would have to
refrain from acting as a pilot in command

So if I lose my medical, do I not know or have reason to know of "any
medical condition that would affect" my ability to operate a light-sport
aircraft?
