No question about that, Robert. But a Sport ticket requires no medical.

Actually, it does if you cannot get a driver's license.

But I have heard that if you lose you medical you cannot get the Sport.

Not quite. You can get a special issuance and let it expire.

So the question is - can you get the Sport before you might lose the
medical and
continue to fly "light Aircraft" when not being qualified to fly the big
ones
like my Archer.

If you had the medical, the assumption is you had at least a PPL. If that's
the case, you don't need to "get the Sport," your PPL allows you to fly LSA
with a driver's license, if your last medical was not revoked or denied. But
you're still supposed to stick to the medical requirements.
