Default What sort of UL/LSA do I want?

It'd need to be registered then - i.e. can't be flown under Part 103.
(You'd need to be certificated too, but looks like that's covered.)

Otherwise there are probably a fair number of choices.


Yeah, I am fully aware that 2 seaters can't fly under 103, and the
exemption is gone too, what with Sport Pilot. However, since I've
managed to pick up ratings for singles, twins, and gliders in my 2500
or so hours, and since I've also flown hang gliders a bit and
parachute jumped a lot, I think that whatever rating I might be
missing to fly what I pick out, I'll be able to get without too much
trouble. Anyway, something new would be a challenge and that's always
good.

What I see limiting my options is the short strip and the small
doors. Something with a 30 foot wing span won't work unless the wings
fold or something, and even then if it takes more than about 10
minutes to unfold the wings and get ready for flight, I'm probably not
interested.

Now I'm curious - are you the same Jim Logajan who flies an RAF2000
with the big Subaru engine and does demo flights in it sometimes?
