I guess I am looking at it from my point of view. That is where I have a
full private (no LSA when I went through the whole license thing) and only
interested in the medical side. I don't have an issue with the medical
yet, but I am not getting any younger.

IF the introduced legislation for your 3rd class medical can be your
drivers license for aircraft up to 250 knots and 6000 lb gross weight goes
through, don't that make all this talk about LSA null and void?
No.
It's still cheaper to get a 'Sport Pilot' license (less hours required)
than a full Private, but more versatile than the old 'Recreational
Pilot' that almost no one got because you couldn't do anything but
circle your home airport...

Colin is absolutely right, there is no way to certify a LR-2 as a LSA,
most of them that fly with two people are well over 1,000 lb. more like
1,200 lb and the oly way toget that to stall under 51 MPH is with a
