Sport Pilots and your local airport

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.

Not really...some of them got approved in the 1930's and 40's...

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.

Hampton NH has a Taylorcraft on order and expects to become a dealer.
(I don't know if it's the light aircraft, though.) I asked Mike Hart
if he'd let a sport pilot rent one of his airplanes, if he (the pilot)
could get insurance, and he said: "Sure. It's our niche."

My instructor/pal has been very interested in the project, and enabled
me to get ATC privileges under the new rules, but I don't think he's
gone as far as becoming a sport pilot instructor.

For me, it's all a matter of insurance. I will talk to my insurance
company later in the year, and if I can get $40K hull / $1 million
liability as a sport pilot, at a price comparable to what I am now
paying, I'll probably forgo the medical and fly thereafter under sport
pilot rules. Too much of my medical life is governed by the FAA at
present.
