Corky;The Sport Pilot "rule" is not quite a rule yet... I know you're kicking yourself, but it ain't over till the fat lady sings (not talking about Marion Blakey, either). I, too, distrust this bunch of "bureaus" as you call them- and until you see it in print, don't go jumping to conclusions.Not that I don't believe the thing will become reality eventually, but it seems to take a while for the FAA to understand even its own rules. Witness the discussions we've had on this very list about local DAR's and inspectors who don't know their own rules, even when you show 'em the book! Now go tell some crusty old FAA salt that you're going to go fly your airplane using only your valid driver's license, and see what he says!But hey, I'll gladly sell you NX41CC back, same price, same condition- anytime. You are a gentleman and a man of your word, and I want no ill feelings if you're having second thoughts. If you're just grousing in general (as I'm sure you are), I know why it is: your family quack (er, doctor) told you to swear off the Wild Turkey and branch water, and you don't have anything to take the edge off things anymore! I'm sitting here sipping some wine after enjoying some grilled amberjack (freshly caught in the Gulf) with rice, and wonder if I wouldn't be grousing too, if all I had to sip was water.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
