WAIT A MINUTE!!!

One purpose of the SP class is to cut down the cost of flying by not
requiring you to pay some doctor to sign a form -- not give an
unqualified person a way to thwart safety. If you have a condidtion
that would prevent you from passing a third class medical then you
should NOT be flying.

The SP stuff explicitly says if you have a disqualifying medical
condition then you are to ground yourself. The rules do not say:
"Except for...... yadda, yadda."




ah, no....;

y'wanna show me a reference for that? The sport pilot regs specifically
EXCLUDE the section of the regs that list the disqualifying
conditions...

An insulin dependent diabetic can never get a PPL (afaik). but can
certainly fly as a sport pilot.
