Hey guys, new here. I’m a private pilot with instrument and multi engine ratings, also an A&P with inspection authorization. I have my own aircraft maintenance shop and one of my clients is a startup flight school that recently added a Sport Cruiser to their line. Figured I better find a place to learn everything I can about these planes. They look like good airplanes, I might consider getting one myself. I got checked out in the flight school’s SC last month and it took me a bit to get the hang of flying something so light. The last few years I’ve been flying my Cessna 310 almost exclusively so the SC was quite a change. Then I remembered flying a friend’s Grumman Lynx and it clicked. They have very similar flying qualities. The SC climbs way better but roll and pitch they’re a pretty a close match.
way back in 2003 or so I attended a 3 day Rotax class in Sebring FL, I’ve worked on a couple experimental airplanes that are Rotax powered but I’m far from proficient with them. Been reading through some posts on here and it looks like there’s a lot to learn about their proper care and feeding.
Anyway, just thought I’d check in.
