A friend took the SP exam the other day and passed. He was asked for his training certificate. He stated he was USUA and had the certificate but they did not even know what it was. He explained he was a BFI and registered ultralite pilot and one of the CFIs was nice and signed him off to take the test. $90. He then called FSDO in Atlanta and was told he had to drive a hundred miles to their office to get a Student Sport Pilot license before he can get a Sport Pilot License. Wow, what was that. Has the FAA changed the rules and ignoring our past experience and certificates or is it just they dont have any rules laid down yet to follow and ignorance is the rule. I am still realing from the idea that a single place pilot cert must be bi-annualed in a factory two place. It still seems they are trying their best to screw us up rather than make it a reality. ted cowan, alabama. Oh, yeah, by the way, the test contained numerous questions of a tricky nature NOT on the study guides. This man has been flying BFI for ten years and ultralites a great deal more and had no idea what the answers were, just guessed. He scored 85% and he is a teacher at Columbus State College. Sooooo, it seems that our two place, single control planes are gonna give us heartburn with the FAA. They actually state a DPE can watch you fly from the ground and rate you as a single pilot classification but you technically cannot fly your two place Kolb. Gonna be a mess if they dont change some of this stuff. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:34:47 AM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Kolb-List: Alabama Aviator --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" Morning Gang: There is a new web site up, Alabama Aviator. Came on line about 1 Feb 05. http://www.alabamaaviator.com/ Betty G Meyer asked me to do an article for the initial issue. If you look under "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Inside AL Aviator", there you will find a short article and some very small photos of my last flight to Alaska. Actually, I thought the pics were thumbnails, but there ain't no clicking on them to make them grow larger. Hopefully, we can get that taken care of so us old folks can see what is in the pics. There's some good info on the web site.

In our sport that does not happen often, I am sad to say. john h PS: I haven't flown in a month because of rotten weather and other stuff. Soon as the weather decides to cooperate, I must fly some and get some maintenance done on the MKIII. Got to get ready to go to S&F and MV, and also thinking seriously about a flight out to the Alvord Desert in Larry and Karen Cottrell's neck of the woods some time during the summer.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions. If I had had insurance before I started flying it wouldn't be a problem. Any suggestions, help, appreciated.

Then on a lark I answered an ad from AAA (they have a life insurance division). I answered all of their questions honestly and kept a copy of those answers, which inlcluded an additional questionaire for private pilots. I stated that I flew an ultralight in addition to spam cans. They accepted me with no exclusions. Not the best price, but not bad either! Often wonder if I fell thru the 'cracks'.. but I wont complain!

I noticed the location of your oil reservoir. How is it holding up? When I got my MKIII 14 years ago I had a 582 on it with oil injection. My reservoir was mounted to the engine along side and ran over the top (from a snowmobile shaped like a 7). After a number of hours of flying with it in that location, the bracket that I made started to crack. I later moved the reservoir to the airframe where it worked out great. Maybe yours will be ok but it's something to watch out for.
