A sport airplane company is building a factory hangar next door to my flying club at KTTA. They plan to offer sales and training. So in a few months I expect they will be buzzing around here like bees around a hive.

I am a student Sport Pilot...even officially have my student certificate. As
for flight schools they are few and far between here in eastern TN. I have been flying 140's and Warrior at TRI, but of course will have to go elsewhere and fly a sport category plane. Going down to Sumter Sc to fly Brett Justus' Champ Saturday. And I did find a place in Ohio , Red Stewart Airfield that seems to really be into the old school flying and the new sport pilot category. They have a Cub and Champ and also offer aerobatics instruction in several nice taildraggers. There number is 513-897-7717 if anyone else is interested. And they do have a website just Google them up! Also from what I have heard is 4 sport pilots are already done with training down in middle Georgia. He has a Champ down there, but they do the check ride in a Flightstar. Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech

No, you have to do a pair of 360s in the pattern with your Bo while you
wait for them to land.

I think it's too soon for the airplanes. Didn't the first ones just
get approved at sun-n-fun in the last week or so? Give them a month or three.

I think there is some confusion between "Sport Aircraft" of which only
one is now certified and "aircraft Sport Pilots can fly" of which there are many. -Robert

Those aircraft, such as cubs and champs, are standard category
aircraft that can be flown under the sport pilot rule. He was reffering to LSA's which there are few if any out there.
