The rule regarding this endorsement specifically
states a certificated sport pilot can get this endorsement.
So you have one rule saying a sport pilot can train in the same
aircraft
that the other rule says he can't until after he is a "sport pilot".

I hadn't heard of that one. Originally designed for the ultralight to SP
guys, I'll bet, but just as screwy as the amphib gear issue.

Thanks! (I think) g

CFI
please give me the endorsement so I won't have to fool with it!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think I see why this was put in the rule.

It is possible to get a SP certificate, flying only fat ultralights, that
could not do 87 knots in a dive. OK, that is stretching it, but take that
as truth.

The FAA does not want you to get in a fast (88 to 120 knot) Light Sport
Plane, without having a signoff that shows you can fly a faster airplane.

The other stuff, I think Todd has nailed it.

But don't you have to get checked out in each Make/Model if you have a SP?

ie. Someone learns and checkrides in a CUB and then they want to fly a
Zenith 601XL they have to get another sign-off?

No, that's a very old supposition cleared up by the faa:
