Regarding taking care of your Classic Sport Pilot Aircraft (like the Ercoupe). It is another anomaiy in the regs. Preventive maintenance can be done by a Private Pilot or higher to a Certificated Aircraft. Sport pilot is out, unless you built the plane then you get the repairmans certificate for that particular airframe only. Most Sport Pilots now are transitioning from Private Pilots and greater. Just because they FLY under Sport Pilot, they can FIX their plane under Private Pilot. Funny, I know... :-) . What is really funny is the notion that the type of pilot certificate you have has anything at all to do with how qualified you are to do any kind of maintenance on any kind of airplane. Some day I hope I get smart enough to where these regulations will make sense to me.
