Done.

I can't claim much knowledge, but I was lucky enough to get some time in an R-7 today and loved it. Saw the R-6 but didn't fly it. Both looked very well put together though. I highly suggest you check them out further. I'll wager a guess it was this S-7....got a few hours in it myself. http://i92.p...

Nice looking airplane but I have to wonder, is that a sport pilot legal weight? ......What is the empty weight?..... Here's the specs. Looks like 815#, so with full fuel, there's only 350# for pilot, pax and golfclubs. :( PERFORMANCE METRIC US Takeoff distance 85 m 280 feet Takeoff over 50 ft obsta...

I like the "over the water" pic....cuz' it has a fish look to it.

Howdy Tom, I busy as ever, but it pays the bills. You still taking care of anitque planes? Wish there was a why I could help you realize your dream. It's real shame about the cost out your way. I think cost is the main hurdle to all aviation. Light sport didn't fix the money problem. Also youth of t...

Our club C-150 is $31/hr wet. but most use our 172 since it's only $47. PPL in 60hrs is <$2000 C-150 or $3000 C-172. Add instructor cost of <$2000 and Private is still doable. My guess is: reasonable rates aorund here is partly why Light Sport primary training has not taken off around here. I know 2...

Actually there is a minimum time requirement.

FAR 61.109 requires a CFI to sign off that the "student" has received 3hrs training within the preceding 60 days.

So in Jeff's example: since it was >60days, he would require the 3 hrs, even if his original instructor was around.

That does sound like a great flight. I bet you're glad you aren't restricted to a SportPilot Cert.

Got a friend selling a Rans S-6ES. It's registered as a E-LSA, so can be used as a trainer. It's listed in Barnstormers. I'll try to get a link

I guess I'm not a "sportpilot" as I have my PPL. But have pretended to be a SP many times. :D I helped build a Rans S-6, see the Utah Fly-in post. I will certainly be helping to build a Rans S-19 in the coming months, see the S-19 Pirep post. Our trip could have been completed by a "s...

We left Townsend, MT (8U8) thursday afternoon and overnighted in Loagan UT (LGU). the smoke and afternoon sun weren't good for pics, but the next morning we got this shot out of the Mountains as we were climbing to 9500'. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l40/Hydroguy2/Rans%20Build/utahrans003.jpg H...
