I have flown a powered parachute 325 hours in the last three years and now am faced with moving on to Sport Pilot. While I am not in total disagreement with Sport Pilot, it does seem to be a bit of overkill for the PPC pilots. I had anticipated getting into fixed wig aviation at some point when I started with the PPC. With that in mind and the fact that my father at one time had an Ercoupe, I am thinking that if I must test out over all the info necessary for Sport Pilot, I might just as well move into a GA aircraft. It appears that most of the other GA planes eligible for Sport Pilot are tail draggers so an Ercoupe seems pretty logical. I have in fact traced the N number of the plane my father formally owned by using the FAA website thinking that the owner might be willing to part with it. Imagine my disappointment when I finally found the registration on the site only to have it listed as "destroyed." I am trying to determine which of the Ercoupes qualify for LSA and maybe even more importantly which do not. I am aware of the FAA qualifications just not which of the coupes will work for my purposes. Dwayne J.
