Welcome to all the new Members on the SCFLIER SportCruiser Forum ! We recently passed 210 total active members, and the SCFLIER Membership count grows every week. We have a very active core of SportCruiser/PiperSport/PS-28 CRUZ aircraft owners and Pilots who participate on the SCFLIER Forum regularly. Our goal is to provide useful, accurate, interesting, and fun information about the SportCruiser/PiperSport/PS-28 CRUZ aircraft, and the best way to provide more information on a wide variety of topics related to the fine CRUZ Light Sport Aircraft is for all of our members to participate regularly, and for those with experiences in a particular area related to the CRUZ aircraft to offer their knowledge and share ideas with other CRUZ owners and Pilots. We all learn from sharing information. Our members pride themselves in Respecting each other's opinions and detail ideas about the aircraft, and while it is OK to Disagree with an opinion one member may have on a particular topic, we all take great care to value input from everyone, and NO FLAMING or Disrespectful comments about other folk's opinions are tolerated. All topics related to the CRUZ Light Sport Aircraft are "fair game". The only thing I ask is that new Forum Members take some time to scan the existing Forum topic areas, and place their postings in an area of the "Forum Outline" related to the idea they are sharing. If you don't find "your" topic already discussed on the Forum, just pick one of the main "Outline" areas, and "Start A New Topic" with your comments and pictures for review by other Forum Members under that main outline topic area. So, if you are a new member just learning about a CRUZ aircraft that you have recently purchased, a Sport Pilot, a Private Pilot or an ATP Pilot with many tens of thousands of hours flying the world's most advanced airliner aircraft, or a Military Pilot experienced in Air to Air or Air to Ground Combat, flying Super Sonic, or adept at landing on an aircraft carrier, an experienced A&P Mechanic or LSRM knowledgeable about the CRUZ aircraft or Rotax engine, a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) teaching student Pilots how to fly the SportCruiser, an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) giving check rides on a SportCruiser and authorizing new Pilot "tickets" to learn more, an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR), a recent "discovery flight" CRUZ flier, if you fly your CRUZ aircraft out of a Tower Controlled Airport with a 9202 ft long 150 ft wide paved runway or fly out of a short narrow backcountry grass private air strip, or a Student Pilot with "out of the box new ideas" or just wanting to learn more about the SportCruiser family of aircraft, or some combination of the above, and we have ALL of those CRUZ Enthusiast Categories reading and on the SCFLIER Forum, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ! So whichever category(s) of CRUZ enthusiast you may "fit" into, please participate on topics that you may see on SCFLIER, or ask questions on areas that you may want to learn more about, or add new topics in your expertise area that may be of interest to other CRUZ LSA enthusiasts!!! We welcome input from everyone and we all LOVE FLYING the CRUZ type LSA ! While many of the SCFLIER Forum members are based in the United States, we also have a growing number of members in Europe, Australia, and many other countries outside the USA. I know that many of our USA CRUZ Pilots who fly in the USA and are regulated by the FAA would LOVE to hear about experiences from Pilots who fly in England, France, Australia, Switzerland, Czech Republic ...., and to learn about how your country's flying regulatory agency may differ from what we experience in the USA with the FAA flying our CRUZ Light Sport Aircraft. Looking forward to more topics and more pictures of your CRUZ LSA flying experiences ! Dave SCFLIER Admin PS - for those folks just now signing up to JOIN the SCFLIER Membership, the SCFLIER membership activation process involves a quick email communication exchange between yourself and me, the SCFLIER ADMIN. So if you get an email from SCFLIERADM@Yahoo.com, it is not SPAM, it is something worth reading to get your new SCFLIER Forum membership activated !

Some of you may have seen a few 'odd' entries now and again on the forum. I get on line 2-3 times a day and try to police these intruders. The system does a pretty good job keeping spammers and such out but eventually some get through. I just changed the security settings (with the help of one of our members) so I hope this will prevent those occurrences. Sorry for the unwanted intrusions ...

Thanks for stopping by … This forum is intended to be a gathering place for owners, operators and enthusiasts who want to learn and share information about the SportCruiser from Czech Sport Aircraft. Most of us own, have owned or want to own a SportCruiser and, like most other aviation groups, we’re enthusiastic about flying and our airplanes. Please feel free to jump right in and start posting ideas or questions. Then again, you may want to just “lurk” around a bit and get the feel of how this forum will develop and play out. I think you’ll find the SportCruiser community to be great bunch of folks. The goal is to keep everything on a positive note but don’t expect everyone to be a Czech Sport Aircraft cheerleader. We want free and open discussion. If there are problems, we’ll do our best to address them for the benefit of all members. SCFlier.com has been created and set up by a SportCruiser owner … Dave Fleming. It was modeled after another forum that has had great success in generating a community of LSA owners. Right now Dave is absorbing all costs and administration. However, if we get a large number of simultaneous users, then he may be forced to pass around a tip cup and take small donations to offset the costs of buying more space and speed. This can be a great community in time, built by its users. Each of us are donating our time and experience in order to build this SportCruiser community. By the way, while we are big fans of the SportCruiser, we are not affiliated with Czech Sport Aircraft.
