Default Question about the Sport Pilot designation

("tom" wrote)
I'm 57 and have been flying for only two years. The sport pilot
definition was just about a perfect fit for my intended use: flying for
fun and just lookin' around. An occasional cross country. I've got very
little interest in big airports. A little plane is fine with me.



It would have been nice to get the C-150/152's and all of the Ercoupes into
the L-Sport category. 1,600 lbs? Oh well.

The other is the high end speed limit (138 mph). It would have been nice if
that could have been waived for single place planes ...RV-3(B). Again, oh
well.
