  1. Please elaborate on the last sentence. What are some key things to watch for?
  2. I’m in South Carolina. You’re right about ‘large klunky’ GA airplanes. Old too 🙂 Cessna stopped building 310s almost 40 years ago 😱 it takes a lot of work to keep ‘em going. Having something designed and built this century would be awesome!
  3. 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.
  4. ShawnM, I guess I was under the impression that as long as an item, say... a starter battery, met the ASTM standard the it could be used on a light sport. It seems I have lots to learn. Glad I joined the group!
  5. Hey guys, I'm new here, just became a member today. I wonder if I've missed something on this subject... Couldn't CSA simply issue a service letter/bulletin that says something like 'may install uAvionix skyBeacon ADS-B transponder...' and it would apply the entire fleet? Seems like it would work just as well as LOAs.
