Well,
Yes I did speak to an FAA ME, several FAA "inspectors" and there is no
problem with me a the sport license....commercial flying at 35,000 for 5
hours at a time are out of the question! HAHA Hey I am impressed with one
wheeled landings under no power..ya only get one shot at those!!!!hee hee
Alot of the sport category planes have trike gear, just seems most of the
older types are taildraggers. Find an old Ercoupe, they are easy to fly and
have trike gear and you can find them for sale for about 12,000 ..some
alittle more of course. I think the best thing is the opportunity that this
new class will offer to people. If the CFI's and all grasp it and airports
treat it well they could all see a increase in biz and an interest in some
old planes that not alot of people want anymore. As they say"The sky is the
limit!"

news:NpN1d.90378$yh.38437@fed1read05...
many currently built aircraft that fall into the "sport aircraft" category
are tailwheel..

depends on what "new" sport aircraft get built as to how they have nose or
tail wheels..

nose wheel assemblies add weight... weight is a "no no" for Light Sport
Aircraft..

does not mean their landings will be any better than a nose dragging
pilot..

BT (~~~ able to do both plus land on one wheel and fly without mechanical
power)

Another question, how many qualified sport pilot planes are tricycle
gear?
Looks like many are tail draggers. Will sport
pilots be better at landing?

How many non flying pilots interested in Sport Pilot?
Has anyone taken a poll and gathered numbers on people interested in
Sport
Pilot now that it is official?


Have a good day and stay out of the trees!
