Did I miss the Era of GA?

Don't really want to reply to an MX post, but for the benefit of the
original poster:

Of course, you can't do much with it. And if you want an LSA because you

"I'm doing this for the fun, fly the good days, and work to pay for it
on the bad".

You can have just as much fun in Day VFR as Night or IFR, infact, I
expect that most people don't really WANT to fly in IFR, or even
marginal VFR conditions anyway, and nobody HAS to fly anywhere,
anytime.

LSA (Ultralight/Microlight in other countries) is "where it's at"
presently in terms of advancement and development in recreational
aviation. To see that you only have to look at the large number of
new aircraft being designed with such specifications, and the teeny
numbers of new certified recreational aircraft being designed.

The US is only really just getting it's feet wet with that now, it's
been this way for a good number of years in the rest of the world.

failed the medical for a regular PPL, you're out of luck (that's a really bizarre rule).

Yes, that is a bizarre rule, no argument.
