I am glad that some Coupes, Luscombes, Champs, et al. qualify for sport pilots to fly them. That makes a nice alternative for those who wish to fly a classic, basic airplane. But if Cessna 150s were included we'd have thousands of them depressing not only the classic market, but completely stifling any new innovation. I like flying the Tecnam Eaglet we have at our FBO. For a x-c flight of 300 miles the glass cockpit and full autopilot sure makes the trip nice. Going 125+ mph is nice too. But for a trip of 35 miles to have lunch, my general manager and I flew his LSA qualified T-craft today. Different airplanes - different missions. Each has its place. Jerry E.

Regardless, I am still very happy with my choice.
