  1. Yes, Connie has the newer Sporcruiser, it is a 2016 and the Pipersport is owned by a woman I have never met, are there any Sportcruiser A&P’s nearby ,not sure about spending that kind of money without some kind of inspection by someone really up on these, although I am becoming more knowledgeable by the hour, I would want it checked out if I became ready to do something. Stan
  2. Shawn,there are 2 Sportcrusiers here, one Pipersport and 1 Sportcruiser,but Corona has kept those closed up, I did wonder about the ADSB installation as I didn’t think it was approved for it, I would definitely go ELSA, I thought that one had the firewall stiffener and nose wheel update,did you fly up to see it , it looks good in pictures. I’m not sure about the price. Stan
  3. Hi Shawn, I’m based at FD04 (Leeward Air Ranch) we have a 6000+ turf runway, I have a brother in Bradenton, not really that far, I have been trying to get up close with one but with all this COVID stuff it hasn’t need easy. I always liked the Piper Sport and remember it at the Sport Aviation show in Sebring which seems like not that long ago. I have seen one listed a couple weeks ago up in Charleston,seems like a nice plane, not sure if it has already been converted to ELSA yet, as far as I can tell has original nosewheel assy. (Welded once)and from a previous listing has some firewall “ beef up kit” I don’t know what that is and something about checking some rivets on a brace, again I’m not familiar with the correct terms an “Sportcruiser language “ , it has a GDL 39 and a GDL 88, I think that is for ADSB. I’m not worried about canopy struts and the like and would prefer to be able to do my own maintenance , I have read about converting and it sounds like a chore. It is nice to talk to someone like yourself to try and get some real life facts. If you want to do a short cross country to Leeward let me know, I’ll buy lunch!!. Thanks, Stan
  4. Hello everyone, I have recently joined and just wanted to say hi, I currently have a piper Archer but I think I’m going to sell and get a Light Sport plane as my needs have changed, I really like the Piper Sport and think this vintage aircraft would fit my budget. I have spent many hours over the last two days reading this Forum to try to become familiar with this aircraft and it has led me to believe that with the non support of the factory, parts issues, bankruptcy and the moving of the Sebastian operation out west as much as I like the plane this maybe a bad choice, I have also owned Mooney’s so bankruptcy isn’t a deal breaker but the lack of a sustainable parts supply concerns me. I am not in any way bashing the brand I just am hoping someone could convince me I am all wrong. Does the new operation support these aircraft?. All your comments and help are wanted as I really like the aircraft just can’t afford to make a bad move. Thanks, Stan
