Sport Pilot Talk

Hello all, just wanted to pop back in (it's been quite a while since I logged in), my apologies. I mainly just wanted to say thank you for the previous advise and encouragement received here. Since my last posting, I did get my 3rd class medical as I decided to go for my PP in the Cherokee and earne...

I like Corona airport and I pass it everyday - makes it real convenient to fly out of there. Owning a LSA now sure would make things a lot easier and my plan is to own one over the next year. I started a new topic over on Light Sport Aircraft regarding the Aerotrek and the Kitfox Super Sport SLSA's....

For me, I made the decision I did because the Piper 140 is available to me locally at Corona through a friend. I'm not against driving and making an effort, but most of the places you mention are 30 plus miles from me and unless you have ever had to get some place on time in LA/Inland empire traffic...

For me, I simply just want to cruise around locally and enjoy the scenery at this point. Who knows though...for now I'll have plenty of flexability if I change my mind. I'm also kind of a low and slow kind of guy...I guess what counts is your long range goals and your mission.

Just curious if anyone here has any opinions on both these airplanes or more specifically any direct knowledge. I have been reading about both and they seem pretty similar to me. Both are available as SLSA and in kit form, although the Aerotrek kit only available in Europe. Pricing is similar, specs...

I've decided to go ahead and get my 3rd class medical and continue my training toward the PP in the Cherokee 140 for now due lack of LSA close by and availability of LSA CFI or is that (CFIS) I believe. Also have been thinking down the road a bit and looking at the new Kitfox S-LSA or the Aerotrek A...

Welcome to the forum, I'm new here too and also in Socal southeast of you out in Riverside. My situation similar with lack of LSA and CFIS close by. I too have recently decided to train in a Piper Cherokee 140 and go for PP. I Eventually plan on buying LSA and will get training in that particular ai...

Thanks Paul & Dave for the info and welcome. Plenty to think about and I'm sure I will have many questions going forward as I get back into this. Thanks also for the links to your website Paul! Very informative and I spent some time there last night doing some reading. I enjoyed your "ask D...

Bob, Thanks for the welcome. I also checked out your website...fantastic w/great info. Too bad we are not a bit closer, I'm down in Riverside, and have flown out of Corona, KAJO most of the time but initially started my training out of John Wayne/Orange County Airport KSNA. Also like your Eurofox. I...

I just wanted to say hello to all. I just recently decided to dedicate myself over the next few months to getting my PPL or SL. I'm 45 and have about 55 hours (10 years ago) of flying instruction in a Piper Cherokee 140. I had done my solo and cross country requirements at the time but never took th...
