Hi,
Just tried to watch another episode of "Sport Pilot". I was so disgusted that I ended up listening to music. It seems to be just like the Mag of the same name. Lots of planes but rarely anything that qualifies as an actual sport pilot plane. Somehow I don't think they get it. They should just change the name to General Aviation and forget it. I am real happy that those guys can afford the Piper Saratoga's and Glasstar's, hell I can't even afford to feed one of the things, so what are we supposed to, sit there with our mouth watering saying to ourselves, When I grow up!!!!!!!!!! Actually I'm really not interested in any of those things, with the possible exception of a few of the RV series. It would be nice to see some of the real airplanes featured there though. Apparently my medication is a bit off, I had better check.

sold it. -too fast. Now he is nearly complete on a Tiger Cub single
place.

Yah, you gotta watch that "listening to music" stuff, Larry. It's been
known to soothe the savage beast.
I do hafta agree with you. Seems like all the magazines are all in favor of
the gee whiz, go fast, glass cockpit, high dollar planes with nearly zero
said about our little toys. Too bad. Any more, I just leaf thru my monthly
Sport Aviation, then throw it in the trash. I've let all the other
subscriptions lapse. Lar. Do not
Archive.

I have been there and done that. I owned a Cessna 310 Twin for a number of years... It was not half the fun my 150 Aerobat was  . Most larger general aviation airplanes are not all that great when you are surrounded by aluminum with poor visibility, about all they are good for is going from point A to point B... The real fun is getting in something like a Kolb, flying low, and seeing everything there is to see along the way. Its not about the destination, it about the journey
