    How about just being able to adjust your Electrically Ground Adjustable Ivo prop while under way?

    Yes. That would be good, too.

    I sent mine (via email) yesterday and would hope everyone on this forum sends one too.

    Careful what you wish for. If a person only needs a drivers license to fly, what will happen to LSA, what will our planes be worth on the market?

    If a drivers license is adequate, many of the potential LSA pilots would stay with Cessna or Piper.

    maybe,.. but if they have had a taste of the lesser operational costs and being able to do some maintenance without an A&P certificate,... my 5 at cruise burns 3.4 gal an hour,..even a 150 cant beat that

    I have my PPL and want to go experimental light sport, but still have the option of renting something bigger should the need arise. I'd be happy if I could do that without having to maintain my Third Class, which I know at some point in the near future will be more difficult to maintain.

    the recent " stirring of the pot" so to speak might be a tactic to get the FAA to approve the original proposal quicker,..since the representatives have all joined forces with this new look at the third class/ auto license limits,.. it's like anything else that's on a table for sale? option? etc..push comes to shove until someone gives? or counters

    You'd like the LSA RobS up your way all the places to fly to and land ,..when I was hauling houses all over Maine NH etc basically the north east,..if I came across a place that looked good for a camping trip I'd stop and get permission if I could,.. to land my model 2 kitfox there and spend the week end ,.I couldn't do that in a 172
