Charlie,
Something you might want to consider, if you don't mind getting an initial
class III physical, is going ahead and getting a private license. I know a
SP examiner and he says that the requirement, as far as flying skills go,
aren't much different. I don't thin the additional training time should be
much more than about 10- 15 hours. For a PPL, planes and examiners are very
available. And once you have a PPL, you're good to go anytime you might
want to jump in a C172 or whatever. After that, if you're only going to fly
LSA, then just let the medical expire....but the PPL will always be there if
you wish. roger

Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Sport Pilot Training in North Texas
----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any

I recently started my Sport Pilot Training at a Flying Club in McKinney,
TX. I got some time in a Cessna 152 with the hope of ending up in an
Ercoupe 415c that would allow me to do my checkride (it is LSA
compliant). Unfortunately, some modifications to that plane made it
unusable for my 260 lb. wt./6'2" frame. Both me and the instructor
couldn't fit due mostly to weight concerns.
Anyway, I am looking for an instructor somewhere here in North Texas
who has access to an LSA compliant plane that I can train
in---preferable as close to Denton, TX as I can find.
Any help from anyone out there would be sincerely appreciated.
