I think you missed the point. Its important to point out that the
pilot would have to have a 3rd class medical because the Skycatcher
otherwise qualifies for Sport Pilots. So if you fly VFR you do not
need a medical, if you fly IFR you do. So if you are considering going
to sport pilot aircraft and looking at the SKycatcher but plan on
flying IFR its important to note that you'll need to keep a current
class 3 medical in order to fly IFR.

I may well have missed the point but since it was over a month ago don't
remember all the original post. But if you look at just the part of my post
that you quoted I mention that the OP wasn't about pilot certificates but
aircraft. IFR isn't the only reason a PPL or higher would need a medical.
Night operations, flight over 10K feet, ect.
