This looks like it might fit your requirements:

I didn't know that you could take the family up on a sport pilot license. Also most everything someone has mentioned is a single seat. Here are some simple plans. http://www.ragwingaircraftdesigns.com/home.php |

Here are some simple plans. http://www.ragwingaircraftdesigns.com/home.php Depends on how you qualify taking your family up on the sport pilot license. The limit on the sport pilot license and aircraft is a two (2) place aircraft. That would imply that you could carry one passenger. As long as your family consists of one other member, you could take your family up on the sport pilot license. If your family consists of more than one member, you can still take your family up but only one at a time.

Hey,
I have been looking at the sport pilot license as well. As far as a plane goes I think I am going to build the Hummel Ultra-Cruiser Plus from Hummel Aviation. I like the metal construction. Not to mention it's a good looking little plane. "Rob Schneider" wrote in message om... osite (RobertR237) wrote in message ... Depends on how you qualify taking your family up on the sport pilot license. Actually, the family includes two kids (currently 8 and 4). I'm leaning towards a single seater, as I want to use it to get a lot of experience before I even think about taking the family up. Long term I want a PPL and perhaps to build a four place, but for now I'm just hoping to get a Sport Pilot license and have something to putt around in. One of the local FBO's (in Tea, South Dakota) has already bought a plane for use as a trainer, and they are working through all the insurance matters, etc. and are trying to figure out exactly what they'll need to do as far as instructors. I'll find out more when I visit the EAA chapter this weekend. It's their monthly pancake feed (open to the public), and as fate has it somebody from the FAA will be there to talk about Sport Pilot. From the sounds of it, the chapter has quite a few metal and a couple of glass projects going on out there, and wood seems to be in the minority. I'll find out more this weekend. Thank you all for your suggestions. There are a lot of very nice designs out there. I'm kind of taken by the Jodel (D-9 or Falconar's F9 or F11E), and will be looking over some info on the CA-61 Mini Ace as soon as it arrives in the mail. Anybody have any experiece with the Mini Ace or the Jodel designs? Rob |
