No question about that, Robert. But a Sport ticket requires no
medical. But I have heard that if you lose you medical you cannot get
the Sport. So the question is - can you get the Sport before you
might lose the medical and continue to fly "light Aircraft" when not
being qualified to fly the big ones like my Archer.

Simple answer "YES!"

You don't "get" the Sport Ticket.... If you let your medical lapse and
fly a sport compliant aircraft you are now "acting" as a sport pilot...
no signoffs needed. The only part of the SP regs you have to worry
about are the aircraft restrictions as a PP acting as a SP.

Goto SportPilot.org and look at the top menus for the list of certified
aircraft that meet the def.
