That and when I decided to buy another plane,I saw lot's of Chiefs, but not too many fairly priced Champs for sale. I was out at Spanaway working on Ron Burk's Cherokee today,wishing my own Coupe was back in the air, when a pristine Champ landed. Made me a bit envious. I do admit. I then joined this newsgroup and Ron Burke convinced me I should try a Coupe. So here I am on my second Coupe. The first a C this one a D. After having both types, I really think the Champ is an easier plane to fly. Certainly when making any sort of a spot landing without the aid of the throttle the Champ will shine. Kinda hard to come in high and slow and then slip off the excess height to wind up at your spot in a Coupe. But on the other hand I certainly paid a LOT more attention to the windsock in my Champ then I do in the Coupe. Unfortunately it's hard to practice the power off approaches that used to be standard 30-40 years ago today. I'm based at a towered field and am usually in a landing sequence that requires a 747 type extended pattern. :-( Getting back to the NPRM I got this off the EAA page. The Special light-sport airworthiness certificate will apply only to new factory-built, ready-to-fly aircraft, not kit-built aircraft, existing ultralight trainers, or previously type-certificated aircraft. These light-sport aircraft must be designed and produced to industry "consensus standards Wouldn't this exclude planes like the J-3, 7AC and the Coupes that you all would like to get included? I will admit I haven't studied the NPRM in detail, just skimmed over the EAA page.
