cost of sport pilot checkride?

You already are a "sport pilot" if you have a PPL and a State issued Drivers
Licence, and you self certify that you are medically fit to fly. But I'm
glad you studied the limitations of the Sport Pilot class because you will
be expected to fly within those new rule sets. I have not heard of the FAA
issuing a new plastic cert to any PPL, but you could call the Safety Program
Manager at your nearest FSDO and ask (if you really want one that states
Sport Pilot). Check the faa.gov site for FSDO numbers. As far as the light
sport plane, just get a checkout satisfactory to yourself and the insurance
co, and you're good to go.

My medical expired some time ago so I thought I'd get a sport
pilot rating. I took and passed the knowledge test. I've got access
to a light sport plane. I'm looking foor an examiner and also want
to know what a reasonable check ride cost would be.
any info would be appreciated.
