Jim Stephenson talking about Sport Pilot Blitz

you missed the point.

I build my own planes to train to save money,plus, get a safer,
stronber, more rigid plane that meets the needs of a rigorous training
routine better.

I can NO LONGER DO THAT !!

Should i repeat that or did you see the all caps this time around.

Also, I would be under the gun of the Feds, who know nothing about
uls, the type people who fly them, etc.


Well,

Actually, you CAN....

At least for the next 5+ years (until the end of 2010) you CAN, and
assuming you've actually got a LEGAL trainer now (maybe THAT's the
problem eh?), you can just ignore the whole thing until the end of 2008.
If you can't adapt in 6 years, you probably weren't going to make it 6
years anyway.

If you put 1/4 if the energy into building your business around the new
rules that you've put into complaining about it on this ng and several
Yahoo groups (plus I dunno how many others) you'd probably have twice
the business you have now.

Did you ever think about how many people your whining has either turned
away from the sport of flying altogether, or from just you in
particular???? If I'm a sport pilot believer, I'm sure not going to
get my training from you.... If I believe everything "you" say, then I'm
going to never even start since all is lost and the sky is falling... so
either way, your pockets are empty of my potential instruction and
rental fees....

As for the things you don't like about it, again, to paraphrase Jim S.:
you fat ul'rs did it to yourselves...
