Sport pilot question

Jean-Paul,
I am thinking in two different directions on this...one a pnuematic
lever, one position is gear down ,one is gear up. Second I am talking with
the company that makes the cylinders as they make some with electronic
sensors on them, which to me seems to be a very good way to use them with an
electronic gear up gear down switch , and even have a small LED panel that
lights up for the gear position. By using the later cylinders I believe
using the pneumatic lever "switch" and the LED panel could be the best of
both worlds But all of this will have to be tested and I am a long way
from that!

Mr. Dixon, would you mind telling us what will be used to activate your
retract mechanism? seems very interesting.
I'm actulally Flying with Pudlle Jumper floats. The retract system is
actuated by cables with manual locks (also cables activated.

My recollection is that repositioning is ok but you have to land with what
you take off with.
So what you can do is say fly from a landlock location to an amphib
airport
go from land (taxi) to water and fly to a lake somewhere. Kinda sucks I
know!

Kinda sucks is putting it too gentlemanly . . . it is STUPID to deny a pilot
permission to perform an act in the air that he/she is permitted to perform
on the ground!

Like stepping outside the aircraft? :-)

Since stepping outside the aircraft is not prohibited, airborne or
otherwise, it is permitted. I rest my case.

Better wake it up again, unless you've got a verrrryy long seat belt in your
airplane (14CFR 91.105). :-)

It closes the loophole that has allowed a SEL PP fly an experimental
seaplane or twin, with no checkouts or controls. No longer, with a SP.

Just to clarify this, a PP with ANY category/class rating is still
permitted to fly ANY experimental aircraft SOLO with no signoff. In
order to carry a passenger the pilot requires the appropriate
category/class rating or endorsement. In other words, it is still
perfectly legal for a PP-ASEL to jump in a Rotorway exec and try to take
off with no training. It is also legal for me, who only holds a
Rotorcraft-Gyroplane rating to jump in an RV8 and (try to) fly it away.
Legal, not smart.

Are you sure about this? Or am I confusing a "sign-off" with a "flight
review." I had a Quickie ( single place, not an ultralight ) and I
always made sure I had a current Bi-annual flight review before I flew.
One of the original replies, ( which, as it appears wasn't archived
because the post doesn't appear anymore ) quoted the FAA rule that says
any pilot, other than ultralight must have a current Bi-annual flight
review and it makes no difference whether they are flying as a PP, Rec
Pilot or SP., they still must have it. The rule made no mention
regarding flying solo or not.

Yes you are. Everyone needs a BFR. I was talking about the fact the PP
can still fly Experimental aircraft without a category/class rating as
long as they are solo. SPs have to signed-off for every type of aircraft
they fly, even if it is experimental.
