Third Class to Sport Pilot

Technically, I don't think you are allowed to fly sport pilot if you
know you have a condition that would disqualify you from having a
third class medical.

My understanding is that you can't fly if you have a condition which
prevents you from flying safely - this is not the same as having a
condition which would nix a class III.

That understanding is incorrect... the part of the fars that mention
medical exams, and certain medical conditions SPECIFIALCALLY exclude glider
and sport pilots.

If you need it, I can quote it just no time to dig it up at the moment.
