Hello from Fl Panhandle

Hi. I'm in the Tampa area and love flying in Florida. If the FAA says no, then you are not eligible for LSA either. See 14 CFR 61.23(c)(2), Have been found eligible for the issuance of at least a third class airman medical certificate at the time of his or her most recent application (if the person has applied for a medical certificate); Not have had his or her most recently issued medical certificate (if the person has held a medical certificate) suspended or revoked or most recent Authorization for a Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate withdrawn; and Not know or have reason to know of any medical condition that would make that person unable to operate a light-sport aircraft in a safe manner. see: Frequently Asked Questions About Sport Pilot - AOPA -
Yes!

I'm not happy with the way forum appears in my browser (Chrome or Brave). Note the "boxes" instead of icons diplayed for options. Is there a setting I missed?

My attachments shows "You have used 87.89 MB of your 87.89 MB attachment limit." How do I manage this? I would like to delete old attachments.

That would be me.

I'm finding that all of my pictures are too big to post. Do I have a settings problem? I only noticed the problem this week.

Welcome. This is a good place to get an education.

I went through each version of nose strut. Sooo, actually started in 2012. http://lsaeronaut.blogspot.com/2012/11/at-us-sport-aircraft.html. Rubber was done in 2015. Yep. ...and then we get back to faith, confidence and trusting the knowledge of the person doing the work. (Start with the cost of the parts from CAI then add the labor rate of your favorite A&P.)

OK, I know this is dangerous territory but I'll start the discussion. When you see that beautiful picture in the trade paper consider this: I have a 2010 PiperSport. She flies about 100 hours (average) each year. I spend about $1K for my annual (100 hour) inspection. Also, I've had this work done: Rubber $5K Nose Strut $6.2K Main strut $2K BRS $1.5K ADSB $4 to 5K Of all of theses, the Rubber Replacement was the most invasive, most troublesome maintenance I had done (by a major Rotax "Specialist" in central Florida).
