Lots of certificated planes qualify Jim. Look at the list the EAA puts
out.

I KNOW that, but the FBO's don't have them. They have 150's, 152's, 172's,
Warriors, Arrows, Cirrus, and a few other assorted others, but NO light
sports.

And more to the point, there are few tricycle-geared standard-category aircraft
that are Sport Pilot eligible. Few of the budding airline pilots who instruct
at FBOs will be qualified to teach in taildraggers, and the insurance rates are
scary.

While it's been a year since Sport Pilot/LSA started, the training curricula
didn't get approved until quite a while after, and, of course, the SLSAs just
started getting their approval during the spring. These things take time.
