Hello Kolbers,
“I intend flying my Firefly to get my sport pilot
training....(that may help ?? !!”
My understanding is the for Herb to get a Light Sport License he will need to come up with a “Two place light sport qualified aircraft”, if so his Firefly will not help him get his Ticket… Right?

You CAN get a Light Sport license in a single seat registered LSA. I did, in my single seat Drifter. Your LS license will have a single seat limitation - that you cannot fly a two-seat as PIC, nor take a passenger. If you later want to "upgrade" your license to fly a two-seat LSA, you'll have to start at the beginning and go through the entire testing process again.

Herb, your best bet would be to use the Slingshot to fly off your hours. Of course you will have to be solo'ed in it first. You will have to find a instructor that will check you out in the plane. When I was trying to get my privates lic. I bought a EAB Mark III, with the thought of using it to fly off my hours. I did manage to get the instructor in the plane for one ride, but he would not ever get in it again. Of course the thought of being only surrounded by fabric, rather than tin foil was too much for his limited mind to grasp. That should not be a problem with a LSA instructor. Just make sure that the plane has a current annual. If the engine is flying well, keep it in the pattern (or not) and work on the engine after all the dust clears. Hang in there, it took me 10.6 years to get legal, and force myself to jump through all the hoops. Its all good though and worth the effort. Larry

Can't log airplane flight time in an ultralight vehicle.>>
Not sure about that over here, John. We can, or could when I was working on it, get an allowance against the ultralight license for gliding time.

Herb,
Note that the Slingshot does not have dual controls. The back seat is only a seat, nothing else. Will an instructor instruct from the back seat without controls? Highly unlikely, in my opinion. When I was instructing I would never consider it.

Pat,
In the UK Ultralights and Microlights are considered aircraft. In the US, contrary to common sense, the FAA calls things that fly and meet their Part 103 limitations(Single seat, 5 gal max fuel, 254 lbs max empty wt., max speed 63 mph, <28 mph stall), Ultralight VEHICLES, not aircraft and thus "flight" time does not exist in their convoluted minds.

Yep. Aware of that.. My sport pilot training will likely be in a champ.
