I can find some S-1s over here for 18K - 24 K with higher engine time. and while that is tempting I am at the point in my life I don't want to have to get a medical....more to the point I don't want to FAIL a medical. with light sport, a driver's license is all that is needed to satisfy that ( as long as I do know knowingly have something seriously wrong physically ). so its going to be low, slow, and flat as it goes for me. if I want a flight on the wild side I have a good friend who has a stearman...
